The Sweet Smell of Babies


When I think of babies, a certain smell comes to mind. One part baby powder, one part "clean linen"-scent from Yankee Candle and one part milk. I always thought this is what babies came out smelling like on their own. Never mind the fact that I never noticed the coincidence that ALL babies smelled the same. That's besides the point... : ) But this weekend I started washing my baby's clothes to prepare for her arrival with the one-and-only mother-approved detergent - Dreft. I transferred the clothes from the washer to the dryer, then went back downstairs. A few minutes later - lo and behold - the house filled with the smell of babies! It was only at that very moment that I realized what the true baby-scent is - Dreft detergent!! Who knew? Well - I'm guessing all the experienced mamas knew. So now the baby's room smells like baby/Dreft. And I love it! Makes me feel like her arrival is right around the corner!! I wonder if they have a Dreft air freshener I can hang in my car and office? That would be nice!

    Oh and I noticed your baby countdown. I find it really cute! Hope you'll have a safe delivery. I'd love to see photos of your little baby.=)

  2. I love this detergent also. We are pregnant with our second baby. I think I'm about 7 weeks. Dreft also makes an air freshener for the diaper area/carpet. I love this stuff! It's great for dirty diaper changes. Just 2 sprays is all I need to get rid of the #2 smell. Your blog is really cute.
