Healthy Family

Thankfully we are a pretty healthy family. I don’t really get too sick, I did have the flu like 5 times last year, but I think that was stress related.  That was the first time I had the flu in a few years, and I have never had a flu shot.  Noah is healthy as well.  Just so you know I banged my foot on my wooden head board so we both don’t wake up with the Mongolian bird flu in the morning.  I feel really lucky that we hardly ever get sick compared to some of my friends families, who it seems like every other week another family member is sick with something. I am not sure if it is luck or if we are just not around a bunch of people all the time. I work from home and Noah has never been in daycare so, that might play a big role in it. We are also avid hand washers and seem to have very healthy immune systems.

As I am writing this I am reminded of my Grandma Diana, who was a very cautious woman who would say things like mind this and mind that. She was one of those people who was overbearing and the type of person who would freak out about germs. I remember if I was sick or had been sick with anything I wouldn’t be able to be around my cousin Alex. Alex wasn’t medically fragile by any means, where I could totally understand, she was just really overbearing.  I don’t see myself being like that because soon Noah will be going to school and being around other children.  I would like to get an IQ Air purifier to use when there are germs present or maybe just to have all the time to clear out any odors from the cats or any pollutants that might enter my home through an open window or door.

Do you have an air purifier? What are some other tips to keeping your family safe from pollutants and germs in your home?

Sick Sick Sick

I am sure you have noticed the lack of my presence around my blog, Twitter, Facebook and through emails. I have been really sick. Sunday I started feeling really sick and I have been really sick since then. Been living off 7up and Saltines. I have been vomiting like crazy too. I have the flu BAD. I hope everyone is doing alright and I hope to feel better really soon!

Boogie Wipes are not just for kids

One of my guy friends texted me and told me that he is sick. I asked him what was wrong? He told me he hates his nose. I texted him back and said Here is a mom tip. Go spend 3 or 4 dollars on a package of Boogie Wipes. He asked me what it is and I explained them to him and told him about how they have saline and how saline breaks up mucus. He sounds interested. I told him how awesome they are. I use them and so does Noah. I actually use the more than Noah does.

So, I want to remind everyone that Boogie Wipes are not just for kids. Adults can use them too. You don't have to have kids to use them, You just have to have a nose. Most people have one so, get some Boogie Wipes. Grape is still my favorite scent. I haven't used a tissue since I first used Boogie Wipes and never will again. They give me the creeps. Especially when you have your nose drippings not stick on the tissue. This is still a product I really believe in and I still think everyone should use them.

PS. When you text the word boogers it is the same letters in congress. I kept trying to type it with the T9 on and it kept putting congress.

This post is written by me because I love Boogie Wipes and wanted to share with you all how much I still love them.

Boogie Wipes Review

Kids get sick….Its a fact of life. They get runny noses and stuffy ones. You reach for the nearest tissue or toilet paper. Tissues and toilet paper are more trouble than they are helpers. Your child’s nose gets sore, even with the ones that claim to make your nose not hurt. Not to mention they aren’t very good at cleanly wiping the sticky mess your child’s nose makes. Well drop the tissue and try out these. They are called Boogie Wipes.

Boogie Wipes are Saline wipes that make nose blowing a breeze! Boogie Wipes helps break up the mucous. Boogie Wipes were created by two mothers that were sick of chasing runny noses. Boogie wipes are Alcohol Free! They are also Phthalate & Paraben Free. They are made with Natural Saline to Dissolve Mucus. They are Hypoallergenic, so that means they are safe for all ages.

These wipes will actually moisturize your nostrils with Vitamin E, Aloe and Chamomile. Did you know the number one reason for nose bleeds is dried cracked nasal passages? That is another reason to use Boogie Wipes. They come in three fun scents. They are Grape, Fresh Scent and Magic Menthol. Magic Menthol is for those extra stuffy noses. Kids love the smell of them which is important because they are for your nose so a great scent is a must.

Noah has a cold right now. He doesn’t get sick very often but I was armed with Boogie Wipes to wipe his nose. Noah will not only wipe his own nose but he will actually ask to wipe his nose. He would of never asked to wipe his nose with a tissue, in fact it was a real battle and upsetting for both of us when he would use a normal tissue. Boogie Wipes are extremely soft and they are scented. Our favorite is the Grape! I tried one out just to see what it was like and it felt cool and refreshing. It felt so clean as well.

I told my mom about Boogie Wipes and I thought that she should get some for her students. She teaches children with physical and mental challenges so some of them don’t have the motor skills to wipe their own noses. Wiping their noses will be easier for her because Boogie Wipes are so thick and have saline in them so it is less mess than tissue. I think that anyone with a nose should have Boogie Wipes because they aren’t just for kids. They are for those who are kids at heart too!

Boogie Wipes come in packages of 40 wipes or individually wrapped wipes. The single serve wipes are great to keep in your car or your purse for those times when you need them on the go. Just think no more rough fast food napkins used as a tissue. We all have them in our glove boxes for that purpose. No more smashed boxes of tissues that get lost under your car seat. Colds will still be miserable but Boogie Wipes will help pamper your nose.

Thank you to Boogie Wipes for giving me the opportunity to try out some Boogie Wipes.

You can find Boogie Wipes at a variety of stores. Go Here to find a location near you. If there isn’t one have no fear you can order them online. They retail about $3.99 a pack and the individual wipes are $2.99 for a pack of 10.

If you sign up for The Boogie Bunch you can also get a coupon for $1.00 off.

So what are you waiting for? Go get some today. Your nose will Thank You later.

God Bless Tylenol!

Noah has a cold. He doesn’t get sick very often as he is pretty healthy. I am extremely happy about that. He has had the sniffles and a runny nose. He has been sneezing and coughing as well. I know that the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) says not to give children under 6 cough or cold medicines. So of course I would not do that.

Noah has a fever of 101.5 tonight. I gave him some dye free cherry Children’s Tylenol. That he thinks is absolutely delicious. It is hidden on a high shelf in the hall linen closet right next to the baby powder. Well at least I don’t have to fight him to take it. I am happy to report that his fever has gone down already. It is still kind of high but it is an improvement.


I started thinking about how Tylenol has been a great thing to have in my home and all the times I have given it to Noah. It was there when he got his shots almost every time. It helped take the pain away and reduce the fever from the DTAP vaccine. It was there when Noah was cutting his little teeth. It was there when he has been sick. It is really nice to have a product that has been around for forever and you can rely on in your times of pain and fevers.


I remember the taste of chewable Children’s Tylenol. I used to have a pill issue where I couldn’t swallow pills so I would just take the Children's Tylenol chewables. It got to the point when I got to be a certain age and I was taking so many of them just to make a dose. Then I learned about sticking them in apple sauce. Works like a charm. Heck that is how I got my prenatals down sometimes when I was pregnant with Noah.

I used to get really bad car sickness. Whenever we would drive home from North Carolina when I was young my mom would always give me a car sickness pill in a spoon of peanut butter. Please, please don’t do it. It traumatized me. Well not really but it is not a good suggestion in my opinion.

God Bless Tylenol!!
I really am glad that Tylenol is such a trust worthy caring company.
Thanks Tylenol!
