FLU season! UGH!

We've been lucky here to have stayed pretty healthy so far this fall (minus the whole emergency brain surgery thing). Unfortunately a lot of you have been dealing with the flu yourself and/or your little ones as well. There's not much anyone can do but I thought I'd share a few items that have been helping some of our customers get through this icky flu and cold season.

Boogie Wipes- I can vouch for these myself because before these came along, I STRUGGLED to get Lucy to blow her nose. Now, not only does she ask for a Boogie Wipe when she needs one, she even attempts (sometimes successfully) to blow her nose on her own! Because they are infused with saline, it also easily takes care of the "crustiness" that seems to be there every day when I pick her up from daycare!



MomSpit- This no-rinse cleanser is a great purse or diaper bag essential for gently cleansing hands and faces when soap and water isn't available. It doesn't contain any alcohol so it's completely safe and doesn't dry out hands or cheeks! I even got a comment from one customer that it is a handy "stain remover" when you are on the go. It cleans like soap and water without the sink, moisturizes like lotion, and is manufactured in MINNESOTA. Pretty cool stuff.Safe Sporter water bottles/Safe Sippy cups - These stainless steel cups and bottles are a great "must have" all year round but some moms are finding that it has been easier to get their little ones to keep hydrated if they have a fun new cup/sport bottle to use. I won't even bother going into all the other great features of these because there are too many to list. LOVE THEM.


Potty toppers - As if there isn't enough germs going around already, add public toilet seats to the mix and it's just....well......disgusting! Potty toppers are an easy way to provide a barrier on those seats. I just recently started potty training Lucy and I feel so much better knowing her little hands won't be resting on a germy toilet seat. BLAH! This company also makes the Table topper to use at restaurants to: A. protect from germs lurking on the table B. keep your little one occupied with fun pictures while waiting for your food to arrive and C. make clean up EASY.


I hope everyone is having a great Friday!

The wonderful Boogy Wipes came in handy today as I was dealing with a very gross nose on Mr. Brady. It did also successfully get rid of the crusties. Let's hope that after five days of being sick, he is on the mend!?!?
