Thank you Baby Dove for sponsoring this post.
This time of year, wind blown hair, rosy cheeks, and campfire smoke stained clothing is how every night ends around here. Fall is the season of change, adventure, and all the smells of childhood. That is what fall means to me, I come alive in the fall and making that happen for my girls has already been so much fun!
Below are ten things that remind me of fall:
Fall is simply a time of year when going to sleep is easy because the extra air in our lungs, the extra energy spent outside, and the fuller tummies make for tired happy little hearts. Nighttime routines have always been strict and routine here since the day my first daughter was born. Making that time to wind down, relax, and get comfy and clean for the night is a top priority and the main reason everyone usually sleeps so well around here!
This nighttime routine is centered around bath time and that is only complete with Baby Dove. Even if my girls did not really get dirty during the day, they still get a bath. Baby Dove has a new Calming Nights range that is formulated with a calming scent of warm milk and chamomile, which helps my girls to relax and get ready for bedtime.
Since it has been SO nice out here in the evenings lately, though, I have experimented with a fall activity I have always wanted to try. An outside evening Milk Bath which I did only with Ella. How stinking cute is this! With the Baby Dove Calming Nights Tip to Toe Wash followed by the Baby Dove Calming Nights Baby Lotion I had Ella MORE than ready for bed in under an hour. It was perfect too because it has a rich and creamy lather with nutrients that are identical to those found naturally in skin leaving her skin feeling clean and soft, and made her milk bath absolutely perfect. And it was so adorable too.
So Ella was so into this milk bath outside! I can imagine it was so fun for her and I wish it was appropriate for moms to try it out too! But don’t worry, I won’t! Topping the whole moisture rich experience off, I used the Baby Dove Calming Nights Lotion because it leaves the skin feeling soft with a delicate baby delicious smell. Which we all know is top priority! Baby Dove Calming Nights cleansers and lotions are made with 100% skin-natural nutrients to help replenish skin lipids. Because of that, it is more effective in maintaining essential moisture and skin-natural nutrients in babies’ skin. Therefore the Fall Milk Bath was a success and I plan to make it a tradition until my girls get too big…which will happen way to fast!
