The Mom's Sick Kid Command Center Kit || #SickJustGotReal #ColdFluPrep

Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

The holiday season is the worst time of year to have a sick child. There are so many fun holiday activities going on and it's really a bummer when you have to miss them because one of your kids is sick. At our house the living room, and more specifically the couch, turn into my sick kid command center and I want to keep everything I need at hand. It's the worst to need something in the middle of the night to help your sick child and you can't find it. The worst!

That's why before cold and flu season I put together my Mom's Sick Kid Command Center Kit! That way I have all the the survival basics that I need for when the sickies hit one of my kids. We've already had one man down this holiday season and I was so glad that I had everything I needed right at hand to keep her comfortable and myself sane!

I keep everything for my SICK KID COMMAND CENTER KIT in a basket near my command center - aka the couch. No more rummaging around in my bathroom by flashlight in the middle of the night for the thermometer so I don't disturb my husband. It's all together in one spot and right where I need it. I always include my favorite Pfizer Pediatric Products that offer symptom relief for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. That is exactly our age range at home. 

Children’s Advil® is perfect for Grace. Its comes in several great-tasting flavors, including Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. She loves Grape and I appreciate that it alleviates the achy body feeling she gets when she's sick.

We also use Children’s Dimetapp® Cold and Cough to tackle the most  bothersome stuffy and runny noses, all while working to relieve a cough, for ages 6 and up and the big kids like the yummy grape flavor.

Other items I keep in my SICK KID COMMAND CENTER KIT are:

• Peppermint candies to soothe dry throats
• Chest rub
• Petroleum jelly
• Herbal tea and my favorite mug
• Honey sticks
• Saline nasal spray
• Tissues
• Moist saline wipes
• Lip balm
• Thermometer
• Cozy corn bag

Sick Day Survival Kit & Target Gift Card {GIVEAWAY} #SickJustGotReal

Sick days aren't fun for anyone. The person sick is miserable and the rest of the
family is grounded to the house because you can't go out and leave a man down.
And mom is crossing her fingers that nobody else gets it - especially her -
because when mom's sick, she still has to carry on and take care of everyone else.
Sick days are the worst!

However, when one of us is sick, we definitely have a go-to set of sick day
survival kit basics that I try to keep on hand when the sickies hit. We've had
more sick days than I'd like to count this year and it's only February! So I'm
really thankful that Pfizer Pediatric makes products that offer symptom relief
for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. That is exactly our age range at home. 

Children’s Advil® is perfect for Grace. Its comes in several great-tasting
flavors, including Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue
Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. She loves Grape and I
appreciate that it alleviates the achy body feeling she gets when she's sick.

We use Children’s Dimetapp® Cold and Cough to tackle the most
 bothersome stuffy and runny noses, all while working to relieve a cough, for
ages 6 and up and the big kids like the yummy grape flavor.

Other items I keep in my Sick Day Survival Kit are:

• Peppermint candies to soothe dry throats
• Saline nasal spray
• Tissues
• Moist saline wipes
• Lip balm
• Thermometer
• Cozy corn bag  

And we definitely keep favorite funny movies on hand to keep our spirits up
while we battle the sickies. 20th Century Fox's The Sandlot is a family
favorite and I quote it to the kids almost daily. I mean it has James Early Jones
in it, how can you go wrong? If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend adding
it to your family movie library.

Right now you can get 10% off Pfizer Pediatric products and
select 20th Century Fox DVDs at Target through February 20, 2017, with the
Target  Cartwheel app. With the Cartwheel coupons for Pfizer Pediatric Products,

America's Greatest School Nurse + $25 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

My kids love school and I love their school. They have great teachers and
support staff that are concerned about not only their education, but also their
overall well-being. I trust that when I send them to school, they are safe and
well-looked after and will be returned to me in the same state that I sent them
to school that morning. A lot of the time, that come back happier than they were
earlier that day.

Since kids will be kids and blacktop will be blacktop, bumps, scrapes, and bruises are a
playground reality. So I am so very thankful for our school health clerk. She is there
every day to patch up those playground bumps and bruises and to send them on their
way with an ice pack and the sense that everything will be okay.



 Do you love your school nurse? Does she go above and beyond to make your
kids feel comforted and safe when they are at school? Then you should nominate
her for AMERICA'S GREATEST SCHOOL NURSE CONTEST.
Now through February 23 you can nominate your favorite school nurse and tell
everyone why she is America's greatest school nurse. One nurse from each state
will win a prize valued at $500 and will be entered to the win the grand prize:
the title of America's Greatest School Nurse and a trip for a getaway from school.

Even with our awesome school nurse and health clerk, sick happens, especially this

time of year. When sick gets real, I turn to the pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer

Healthcare to help my kids find relief from even the ickiest of symptoms. I know that

I can count on Children’s Advil®,

Children's Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief, and

Children’s Dimetapp® Multi-Symptom Cold Relief Dye-Free to help my kids

feel just a little bit better while their body fights off whatever yucky bug they've

brought home from school.

*It is important to remember to always read and keep the cartons for complete warnings and dosing information on 

Pfizer Pediatric products and to use as directed.

We just went through a major round of sick just got real over the almost the entire

month of January and I was so thankful to have this three pediatric brands in my arsenal

to battle the sickies. It was like one of the three would just get better and the next one

would get sick, and then that one got better and the last one went down. The only reason

I got any sleep at all was because they could find some relief from their symptoms with

 Children’s Advil®,

Children's Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief, and

Children’s Dimetapp® Multi-Symptom Cold Relief Dye-Free.
 

 Just look at my little Grace finally catching a good nap thanks to Children's Advil helping
to offer her some fever relief and ease her aches and pains. It comes in several great
tasting flavors, including Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Blue Raspberry,
Dye-free White Grape, and my kids' favorite - Grape! I always reach for it when their
fevers are too high or they find it hard to get comfortable because of aches and pains.
