Happy Mother's Day!

We have been a little out of the loop lately - busy developing new products! - but thought wanted to make sure to say Happy Mother's Day to all our of followers!

In honor of the Holiday, here are a few tips to share with the family on how to make the day extra special:

• Start off with breakfast in bed! Make a favorite dish and be sure mom gets to sit out with the clean up!
• After breakfast, organize a fun family activity such as a walk through the park or visit to the zoo.
• Next keep the kids busy with an activity - we suggest printing our Mr. Bubble Mother's Day Card for them to color!
• With the kids distracted, relax in a nice, hot bubble bath. Take at least 20 minutes to yourself with our luxurious Village Naturals Bath Shoppe Foaming Milk Bath. Try one of the newest fragrances - Vanilla Amber or Mango Mandarin.
• Finally, end the day with a family dinner and satisfying dessert.
  

Tell us how you'd like to spend your day!

The Basics - With Sesame Street & Elmo

Mango Body Wash & Shampoo 2-in-1 !

These new products are packed with features to help your little one move fun-in-the-tub to fun-in-the-shower. Each has a fun, fruity fragrance and prominently features Elmo! The image of Elmo washing has been proven to encourage kids to mimic him and do the same. Talk about gaining independence!

In addition, each product is tear-free, hypo-allergenic, and formulated to be gentle.
