I've got some new friends you really must meet!

I've been pretty busy the last month testing out a big care package that Circle of Friends sent over for Connor. I'm usually pretty excited to try out new baby bath products but this particular line of bath products has had me on my toes as its just about all I can do to keep myself from stealing them for myself.

The first set of products we tried out were the Little Doc's line. Connor has struggled with childhood Eczema since he was born and up till very recently he was having some really bad outbreaks on his ankles and elbows. It had even started creeping up his legs and I started getting worried. I've struggled with Eczema off and on my entire life though most of my outbreaks are usually on my arms and since my csection with Connor I have new outbreaks on my stomach which I find odd. We have been using the Little Doc's line anytime there is even a hint of an outbreak and its really great as it does not irritate or make the flair ups worst. It's also really great if your having really itchy dry skin as it really does calm itches. I swear by the cooling spray lotion as it really was my only relief during my last outbreak on my stomach which has to be the itchiest place for me to get an outbreak at least. Connor seems to enjoy it as well as he will pull at his socks when he is having an outbreak as they irritate his ankles and it seems if I sprayed him down really good and let it dry before I put his socks or shoes on he will go about his day like nothing is up.

Circle of Friends offers a host of other bath and skin products as well all of which smell amazing, so good in fact that you will find yourself wanting to taste them but believe me I don't recommend it. Connor did try a good taste of the Buddy Bar Strawberry Soap and from the look on his face I'd say it doesn't taste the way it smells. heh. It does however in fact smell like something you would love to eat and it leaves your kids smelling quite tasty. I am absolutely in love with the Strawberry Buddy Bar and the Shampoos smell wonderful as well, I have to admit I've used them myself on several occasions.

I have to say though the one product that I have to almost forcibly keep myself from using as we'd have to buy a new tube once a week is the Tanner's Tasty Paste. Being a girl who swears that anything other than mint flavored toothpaste is gross I was a bit apprehensive about trying the Vanilla flavored tooth paste. I decided before I put in Connor's mouth I would try it myself and I had to think twice if I wanted to share it with him as its amazing. It smells and tastes like vanilla ice cream and you'll find yourself wondering if your actually even cleaning your teeth. I can honestly thank that toothpaste for training Connor to brush his own teeth as though he is only 18 months old he will stand in the bathroom and brush his teeth like a big boy just to get some of the Tanner's Tasty Paste. I have to actually pick him up and carry him out of the bathroom when we are done as he would stand there all night waiting for more.

While your over there if you have some older kids on your shopping list or are just looking for something unusual. The Ouchies - Teen-Ages band aids are printed band aids that everyone in the family will flip over.. even your sixteen year old purple haired punked out trolls that live in the basement (ok I only say this as I was one...) wont be able to resist them. In fact you may find that they disappear a little sooner than you'd expect as they may just find a reason to use them. Oops... I scratched myself with this crayon, I guess I need a Ouchies.... um no I didn't do that.. heh or did I?

You really must head on over to Circle of Friends and check out the whole line of products.
