Always carry some small bubble wands in your purse or car glovebox.

You just never know when you’ll need to bring a smile or a laugh.

And everyone loves bubbles!

They will stop what they’re doing to watch some guy make huge bubbles in the town square.

Women love bubbles. The more the merrier.

Well, maybe not adult cats.

They just want to know if it’s food.

(You are holding that thing pretty close to your mouth.)

Water play and bubbles go together.

Blowing bubbles, especially using a bubble machine poolside, pumps up the fun when swimming.

Blowing bubbles at the beach is the perfect way to change the focus a little.

Bubbles in the summer are a great idea, especially in the park or at a picnic.

Is a field of sunflowers enough on its own? Yes.

But add in bubbles… and it becomes a magical moment.

One that must be published on Instagram. *wink*

It’s exciting to watch bubbles freeze in the winter. They’re so beautiful!

The best time for blowing bubbles is while you’re waiting.

Theme parks are fun, but not the waiting in line part. Distract the kids & add more play by blowing bubbles during wait times.

This is true of any wait time, for any age group. While you’re waiting, pull a mini bubble wand out of your purse and start blowing bubbles. You might make a new friend. Because everybody loves catching or watching bubbles. You just never know who you’ll meet!

What kind of music festival would it be without bubbles?

Again, waiting. Or, watching bubbles float away. Add to the fun of the music.

Bubbles and camping go hand in hand.

Sometimes, mom and dad just want to relax while camping. Break out the bubbles. It’s interactive and keeps kids busy. We brought bubbles camping because our family was too big to all fit in the canoe together. While the kids took turns paddling with Dad, the dog and I played bubbles with the landlubbers.

Got insomnia? Don’t lie in bed and stress. Blow bubbles.

There’s something calming about bubbles.

They also take your mind off all the swirling thoughts that are keeping you awake.

Blow a few bubbles, watch them float, and then lie down again and try to sleep.

If it doesn’t work? Meh. At least you had some fun.
