DIY Bubble Bath Recipe for Kids (and YOU).

When I was a kid, there was nothing better than playing all day long with a group of friends (or cousins at the lake - yay!) - and then having a nice cool bubble bath drawn so you could clean up and settle in for bed.

I used to love the feel of scrubbing off the sand and grit (you could see it!) and snuggling casually under a white bed sheet instead of a quilt. It was summer! It was a feeling I know I will never forget.

Now that I have a daughter of my own, I try to share memory making things like this with her. She loves a good bubble bath too so we're on the right track!

Recently, we found a bubble bath recipe that we wanted to try out - and I thought I'd share.

Bubble Bath for Kids

2 tablespoons dried rose petals
2 tablespoons dried lavender heads
1 1/4 cup boiling water
1 1/4 cup natural baby shampoo
12 drops lavender essential oil

*Place rose petals and lavender in a bowl - add the water.
*Steep for 10 - 20 minutes (covered)
*Strain water - squeezing all liquid out of the petals
*Add shampoo and essential oil
*Pour into bottle - shake well and store in a cool dry place.

Now that I am an adult, I still really enjoy the relaxation time of a bubble bath. It is a ritualistic process - and it always calls for bubbles!

Relax and enjoy!
