Tired of spending all day at the pool only to come home and bathe your kids?
I have the solution for you.
Redneck bath-time.
Does this picture even need an explanation? Baby pool, shampoo, and nekkid (or mostly nekkid) chirrens. rinse, lather and repeat.
It’s pool time and bath-time AT THE SAME TIME.
Did I just blow your mind? That’s what happens when you shave your legs for the first time in Smith Lake, people. Genius is born.
What are your summertime shortcuts?
You have GOT to be kidding me. I just sent Holly an email crying because I felt like the world’s worst mother. Wanna know why? I couldn’t BEAR the thought of bath time, so I grabbed a bottle of shampoo and bathed my kids in our blue plastic pool. I’d never felt like such a redneck in my entire life.
Now I just feel awesome. AWESOME.
You. Complete. Me.
This comment MADE. MY. DAY. I feel like Feifel. Sooooommeeewheeeeere out there…..
Some days the pool is the bath. What’s the point if you will return again after breakfast the next morning? Doesn’t the chlorine kill all the germs? On a good day the kids and the dog get their baths on the back patio.
I second that. My boys went four days without a bath last week. I hear salt from the ocean is good, too. (Did I just write that out loud?)

Yes you did. Don’t be ashamed. All are welcomed here.
Again proving why I took an INSTANT liking to you.
FYI – 3kids in bed smelling of chlorine.
That’s my girl!
Again, genius! You are one smart cookie!!
Thank you. *curtsies*
I called pool bath three nights in a row. Felt so guilty I bathed them tonight. This post made my day. Wish I’d read it earlier and we may have skipped again tonight!
Never feel guilty. Nevah.
We live on Smith Lake and used to keep a bar of ivory soap down at the water. My kids who were teenagers at the time were mortified and kept moving it. Now we just keep shampoo and conditioner and wash the grandchildren’s hair when they are visiting. Just can’t seem to work in that bath time.
I’m sure as kids they were horrified but as parents they now realize your genius!!
LMAO!! Possibly the grossest thing I’ve heard all day. But, I did just wake up.
My 4-year old is having a water day at preschool today. Now I’m wishing I would have sent a bottle of shampoo with her so we could skip a bath tonight.
This idea is totally doable at home and she would think it’s so cool. I see some multitasking in our future this summer.
Embrace outdoor bath time. I wish I could bath outside… huh…
This hits the nail on the head for me. Last weekend at Guntersville Lake while family camping I shaved my legs behind my brothers camper using the out side water faucet and the security light. I said I would take a shower in my undies but decided if a car came by they would ask if swimsuits came in granny panty style now. Ha.
Teehee!!!
Shave at Smith Lake? So true! And, who taught me to shave beyond my knees? You, Blair, and Rachel. Linda was not happy, but at least the boys didn’t call me pine trees any more!
I still think we all made the right decision on that one!!
so glad to know other like minded red-nekked moms. when we lived in a complex that had a spa, we went every night. EVERY. NIGHT. rain or shine.
we are moving next month to an APT with a spa ( and POOL!) so back to jacuzzi baths again.
WORD
