Well, it hit us.. The flu bug has made its way through each person in my family and we are still feeling the after effects. With secondary infections showing up alongside with the flu, like bronchitis, strep throat, and now another mystery fever in my toddler, you can imagine the amounts of meds, saline, fever reducers, and tissues we have gone through. In a matter of two weeks, we have gone through at least 10 boxes of tissues, 30 saline tubes, ...

Parenting 101: Fever Relief for young children #FeverAllFeverReady
There's nothing like being up at 3am with a sick baby. As a matter of fact, I'm writing this as I lay next to my finally-sleeping, very sick preschooler. When she's sick, she brings back a flood of memories from when I was a kid- constantly sick with multiple bouts of strep which eventually led to removing my tonsils and relieving me from the countless months on antibiotics and missed school days. Kids get sick, and it's a rite of passage ...
A Visit with Doctor on Demand is What We Needed to #FeelBetter #Sponsored #IC
We are in the middle of cold and flu season and my kids just can't seem to catch a break with these childhood illnesses. Just two weeks ago, my youngest child had a mystery virus that spiked 104 fevers every night for 4 nights. During the day she was happy, playing, and her typical mischievous self. At night, her fever rose, and even with her doctor's advice to alternate fever reducers, we were unable to bring her fever below 102 for hours. I ...

Enjoying Dress Up Time With Our Favorite Princesses
Having two little girls means dress up doesn't only happen once a year for Halloween. It can be a daily ritual where they wake up in the morning, decide which princess they would like to be, and even accompany me on market runs or shopping trips as that princess. I don't mind it, I know this phase won't last long and I try to embrace every minute of them being little girls and enjoying dress up time. Since we have to have just about every ...

Finding The Best Probiotic For My Kids
My girls are full of energy. They can play from sun up till sun down, and while it can be challenging to find things to release their energy during winter months, it is fun watching them get creative and pretend play with the resources they have. I know when either of them just wants to lounge and not participate in active play, something isn't right. Whether it is a bellyache or a constant bout of strep my oldest has been battling for a few ...
