I really should, I bet she would like it.<br /><br />In response to your bug repellant/ sunscreen question - our town sprays for bugs every week, and we have never had any bugs. I feel two ways about this, I LOVE being able to enjoy being outside without any bugs (especially mosquitos), but that must be some pretty harsh chemicals to wipe out absolutely everything. Do I really want my little girl playing in grass with all those chemicals?!<br />My mom always swore by Skin So Soft by Avon.<br /><br />Sunscreen - I would love to find a more natural one, but I have been using a store brand spray on one (similar to water babies).<br /><br />We've always done the bath every night thing, she's always loved her bath until about a week ago. I'm praying it's a short phase because it hasn't been pleasant for anyone!<br /><br />Let me know what you find for both sunscreen and bug repellant. We're going on a couple of camping trips soon, so I'll have to get some sort of bug repellant. I'm going to look and see if we have any Skin So Soft, if we do, I'll probably use that.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213494929190618885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919085430036876974.post-86148335400861922932009-07-01T16:56:21.063-05:002009-07-01T16:56:21.063-05:00Such a simple idea!

Anyway, I am sure the mom's of wee ones out there will be able to use this.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br /><a href="http://practically-perfect-life.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sharinskishe</a><br /><br /><a href="http://practically-perfect-life.blogspot.com/2009/07/kitchen-tips-fun-and-practical.html" rel="nofollow">http://practically-perfect-life.blogspot.com/2009/07/kitchen-tips-fun-and-practical.html</a>Sharinskishehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083826404941486697noreply@blogger.com
