Day With the Basics: Landen McBride

We love to see how families use Tubby Todd every day. Follow along this series, A Day with the Basics! If you use Tubby Todd in your home, be sure to tag @_themamablog and #adaywiththebasics to share!  Here's a peek into Landen's kids' hair routine: Landen McBride / MeasureandWhisk.com / Instagram|Twitter|Pinterest

 

Hi, Landen! Tell us about the texture of your child's hair, as well as any thing you look for when choosing hair products.   My little boy has straight and fine hair.  I definitely want something really natural and safe, because I have read that your scalp absorbs more product than most parts of your body.  

What type of hair washing routine has worked the best for the both you and your littles?
We wash my 2 year old's hair about once a week, because he has quite a bit of cradle crud still. 

 

What about post washing routine (conditioning, detangling, styling)?
I use conditioner on my little boy about once a month and style it with water currently.  

 

Do your children have any skin issues that you keep in mind when shopping for product?
I try to go for a moisturizing shampoo because of the flaky skin on his scalp.  

 

What does your family do to make bath time extra special? 
We have special toys just for the bathtub that he isn't allowed to take out of the bathroom. They make it extra fun.  
What is the biggest thing you've learned from motherhood so far? 
The best parts are the little things. You have to notice and enjoy them.  

 

Any other Tubby Todd tips?
The Tubby Todd All Over Ointment changed our lives!  It made my 2 year old's eczema go away completely after just a few days, and kept me from having to use a 'very strong steroid' that I was truly terrified to use. I love a natural product that works better than the strong chemicals! It is perfect for all the dry patches, especially if you live in a super dry place, like we do.  
Thank you so much, Landen!
