*My negotiation for cleaning the bathroom also included one demand…scrubbing bubbles. My mother had a strict “if you saw it on TV we don’t buy it rule” that she made an exception for in the case of the bubbles. I am now suspicious that she just was ready to hand off cleaning the bathroom and I could have also held out for a buck fifty.I was so excited the first time I got to use the scrubbing bubbles. I leaned over our pink tub, sprayed the white foamy stuff and sat back to watch the little animated scrub-brushes swirl around the tub in a counter-clockwise direction while leaving gleaming stars in their wake and then zoom down the drain. I was a little disappointed that the ACTUAL scrubbing bubbles didn’t appear, but might admit to imagining they were there each time I cleaned the bathroom. Fast forward 32 years: *gasp* I was contacted to throw a party here in Dallas to announce a new scrubbing bubbles product for a small group of fellow bloggers at a spa. Ummmm…yes. Love the product, love other bloggers, love the spa. The party was this weekend and it was a really, really, really good time. The new Scrubbing Bubble Product helps moms fight the morning madness. It is called Extend-A-Clean and you once you use it, it continues to work over the next few days. I have found this incredibly helpful for a trouble area in my house…the boys’ sink which accumulates small glops of toothpaste at an alarming rate. Once I used Extend-A-Clean on their sink, it was easier to rinse out the wayward paste. The bloggers were greeted at the spa with this sign:
Wow. I was impressed with how legitimate they made me look. It is amazing how a poster can convey credibility…who knew?
I am going to carry around that poster everywhere.
Everywhere.
Like a business card…only I am not giving it away.
Ever.
It was so fun to hang out with everyone:

Four Seasons. Enough said. All in all it was a wonderful morning that I would be willing to repeat on a weekly basis…hint, hint to the Bubbles. Oh! And the poster that lends credibility to my little blogging hobby…
…now resides on my mantle.
I loved getting to meet you and to interact with the other bloggers! Thank you so much for thinking about me! Seriously, it’s the highlight of my week/month! Here is the activity I spun-off from the morning: http://quirkymomma.com/2010/make-your-own-spa-mask/
I think there is a little confusion on the issue…but I suspect you are like me and will try anything once…ha!
So is the mommy that’s not your head in the poster washing her child with scrubbing bubbles? It’ll keep my children cleaner longer? Now that’s a product I could get behind.
(srsly? making my Target list now and adding new Bubbles)
exactly.
Well, where else should a poster of you promoting scrubbing bubbles while sporting a head that is not yours live, but in a place of honor on the mantle?
Good Lord! The one shot that I made a comment then a face and they took the picture:) wonderful! It was so much fun though. And the bubbles on the kid freaked me out. I felt like I should flush his eyes for 3 minutes or whatever they tell you to do on the warning label.
Thanks for thinkin about me girl!
I am hoping my body and the boy-that-is-not-mine are not actually bathing in Scrubbing Bubbles…ha!
That sign was pretty cool. It was the focal point of conversation all morning. “Can those bubbles be used on children?” “How did that head get on Holly’s body?” “Which way to the massage room?”
What a glorious morning. Thanks for having me!
That’s it. I am so moving to Dallas.
Dallas bloggers have all the fun.
Or do they MAKE it?
Oh please move…! Shauna and I both vote YES on that.
Great minds….? or really warped ones.
i had the same disappointment when i was a kid — i really thought those scrubbing bubbles would come straight out of that can — and yes, i pretended they were there even though they weren’t
