Total Gym Total Mom Challenge Week 5
I really had one goal when I started this challenge. I wanted to look much better than my Before picture. I HATE my Before picture. In fact, I hate myself in most pictures. I...
Germs: those tiny invisible things we're constantly battling with soap, sanitizer, and bleach. Germs are pretty fascinating. Sure, they can make us sick, but they also play essential roles in our health and the environment. I am fairly certain that my kids are the biggest germ spreaders I know so I found these facts interesting. We hope that this Facts About Germs post inspires you.
The next time you think about germs remember that they're not all bad. They're an essential part of our world and play a vital role in our health and well-being. When you wash your hands or reach for the sanitizer, remember that germs are a complex and fascinating part of our world.
I just love Christmas and indeed the entire holiday season. You could say that the last three months of the year are my favorite. The weather gets cooler and we plan a few family trips around to see some snow. This picture happens to be from a trip that we took earlier this year where our family had the opportunity to go snowmobiling. The kids are still talking about riding the snowmobiles. It was such a fun afternoon riding around Lake Tahoe. That picture above is how I want our family vacations to look. What you don't know about that picture of us snowmobiling is that just the day before our daughter wasn't feeling well at all. She had a little bit of fever and just wanted to stay in bed in the hotel room, and on vacation, that means that one parent always stays back. Sometimes this is the reality of what our vacations just end up looking like:
I completely understand when this happens, and I know that it can be frustrating for everyone, especially when traveling. Kids get bored lying in bed in a place they want to explore. As a result, we tend to take extra precautions when heading into vacation season and on every trip we take. There are many things that you can do to try to avoid the spread of germs during the most wonderful time of year. Here are our 5 Ways to Avoid Germs During Holiday Travel.
I never want my kids to get sick and I especially try to be hyperaware of germ spreading when we travel because we come across so many people. However, sometimes sick just happens on vacation and because of this, I routinely travel with all three of these Pfizer Pediatric Products. They are the only products we use and you could say they are our go-to products when germs strike. Specifically, Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin®, and Children’s Dimetapp® are always in our travel first aid kit.
Children’s Advil® Suspension helps reduce a child's fever fast while easing aches and pains. Kids 2 to 11 will find great-tasting flavors like Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit, and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. Infants’ Advil® White Grape provides unsurpassed fever relief (among OTC pain relievers) with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.
Children's Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack (Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion for ages 4+ and Children’s Robitussin® Nighttime Cough Long Acting for ages 6+)** non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long-acting nighttime formula relieves coughs and runny noses to help kids get the rest they need. Please note, that certain Children's Robitussin® products are only suitable for children ages 6 and up.
Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough comes in grape flavor for children 6 and up. It helps to ease those runny and stuffy noses plus that bothersome cough.
PLEASE NOTE: It is important to remember to always read the labels completely and keep the cartons for complete warnings and dosing information on Pfizer Pediatric products and to use them only as directed.
