I never expected a can of shaving cream to bring all seven of us together at the same time, inspire so many smiles, and turn into something that the kids would be begging to do again next week.
An innocent cleaning out of the bathroom closet on my part became one of the best nights we’ve had together in a long time.
PS – as an added bonus, shaving cream cleans counters really well AND it makes hair soft and fluffy after washing. Just in case you wanted to know.

SO cute! It was tradition to play with shaving cream on the last day of school with one of my elementary school teachers- I got her for two years so the second year I had her, I was looking forward to it ALL YEAR. :)

Looks like fun. One of the best days of my twins life was the photo shoot they did for Pfister where they basically played in shaving cream for an hour.

Looks like such a great time!
We have done that with our little ones for therapy many times, but never as a family…
