Brett informed me yesterday that our water bill went up 50% last month. “Are you guys, like, taking a lot of baths or something?”
The jig is up. Here’s the thing. Baths cure everything. Fussy babies, curious toddlers, challenging witching hours, sick days, sad days, bored days. We take baths less to clean us and more to calm us. Also, Lainey makes a mean suds cake.
We start our mornings with baths and have been finding ourselves back in the tub late in the afternoon–my favorite savior for that often chaotic time of day before Brett comes home from work. It is as much for me as it is for my kids–an opportunity to slow down, listen to the water and marvel at the way baths take a good year off my kids, wetting hair back so that all that’s left is baby face and a mess of drippy lashes. “You look so little,” I always say.
Since Lainey was a baby, I’ve tried a number of baby bath products, and as the girls get older with longer and thicker hair, I find it challenging to find good product that conditions their hair well. We love everything The Honest Company makes and love even more that their products are natural and safe, allowing us to take as many baths as we please without worrying about harmful chemicals or hidden ingredients.
Perhaps Dash’s splashing could have something to do with our water bill.
The girls love Honest shampoo and conditioner. I can easily comb through their hair after baths without worrying about tangles, and it dries light and bouncy. Lainey has really fine hair and a lot of hair products can weigh it down, but we’ve never had that problem with Honest.
In addition to their bath products, we love Honest toothpaste for the kids (Dash would brush his teeth for 20 minutes if we let him) and, as frequent beach-goers, swear by their sunscreen.
We used another baby brand of sunscreen before switching to Honest because Dash has super-sensitive skin, and Honest sunscreen doesn’t make him break out. I keep a tube in my glove compartment for spontaneous park dates and beach excursions.
Honest products can be purchased online, but we buy most of ours at Target.

I’m anxious to try their laundry detergent. Any favorite Honest products out there?
I’ve been using the diapers and wipes since my son was 2months old and I will NEVER go back to any other kind of disposable diaper! They’re cute too boot! We love the sunscreen as well and the lotion and lip balms!
Have you tried their diapers?! They’re awesome!! Cute prints, sturdy yet soft feel and no chemicals next to those cute baby cheeks! Their wipes rock too… 🙂
The Honest products sound super and I like that their ingredients are healthy. Your kids look so cute and squeaky clean.
Honest natural chest rub! Use on the kid’s chest and feet!
I’ve never heard of Honest, but I know when my youngest was born two years ago we got zero J&J products from all the free stuff they give you when you have a bebe, the hospital told us their tear-free stuff actually just had numbing agents in their products! It was a very crunchy hospital 😉
Love the laundry detergent 4 in 1 pods, dishwasher pods, stain remover, glass cleaner, and hard floor cleaner.
AND THE CHAPSTICK!!!!!
My favorites are the All Purpose House Spray and the de-tangling spray. Don’t mix them up 😉 The house spray is the only thing I feel safe using in my kitchen and on all other surfaces that my daughter touches. The de-tangling spray does something magical to her hair. I swear it turns her curls into soft, light silk.
I love their detangler! Smells so good and works so well!
I’ve been watching Honest take off for several years now, and as a lover of natural baby products I’ve been dying to try them out – but they still do not ship to Australia!! Such a massive shame, and I don’t understand why. Before I know it my baby days will be over and I still won’t have tried any of their products. Big bummer. I’ve mostly given up lusting after them, now. 🙁
Their healing balm is the best diaper cream around!!
I love their bath gel/shampoo combo product! all-in-one with good ingredients and no crap!! Also their gel hand santizer has no triclosan poison – love baths for littles and adults alike!
We love the combo hair and body wash and all use it 🙂 its gentle on all my loves skin. We get ours at Costco for an amazing deal!!!
I am the guilty bather in our house. Shower in the morning and bath at night. Baths are super calming after long days at the office!
I havent tried a lot of their products but I’m a huge fan of their diapers! We recently switched to disposables after years of cloth. I like knowing how good the Honest diapers are, and the designs are super adorable! I have them delivered every month now. Can’t get much easier than that!
If you make the order and then send an e-mail to 3 friends, you also get a full-sized product added onto your order for free!
We use the diapers and wipes. My daughter had constant diaper rash in other diapers, so we decided to try these, and they’ve been great.
She also had a ton of hair since birth, so we tried their detangler – it smells great and works will for her fine hair.
We’ve never tried their sunscreen but I absolutely swear by their laundry detergent and hand soap. I started using the laundry detergent when I had my first baby and it’s honestly (no pun intended) the bests detergent I’ve ever used. Can’t wait to try out the sunscreen this summer now that we are living in the south!
love all those bubbles. i remember having my hair brushed as a kid & i disliked all those tangles. such great shots, Kelle. ( :
