Things I can't live without come kiddie cold/teething time...

Here are the things that I always make sure that I have stocked come kiddie cold & teething time...
These products make the whole getting the kiddies over the cold/teething drama a little more tolerable.

1. HydraSense Nasal Spray: Gentle Mist: Perfect for those delicate, sensitive, tiny noses in babies/toddlers. It's really effective in cleansing and relieving excessive mucus that has built up. Plus the bonus: it's 100% natural source sea water.

2. Boiron's Coryzalia: It's a homeopathic medicine for children aged 6-30 months that provides relief for colds and congestion. You give it at the first signs of cold symptoms [runny nose, sneezing, eye irritation and nasal congestion]. Bonus: Sugar free, lactose free and alcohol free.



3. Triaminic Flowing Vapors Fan: It's a battery operated version of Vick's Vapor rub and the bonus is that it's totally portable and you aren't stuck to one room.
The fan releases 8 hours of continuous mentholated cherry aroma and helps with breathing when little noses are totally stuffed up. Love that's it's quiet and it fills up a room with a great pleasant, non-medicine smell. The refill pads are available at most drugstores.


4. Hyland's Teething Gel / Teething Tablets: Is an easy-to-use, all-natural product that soothes the pain, the restlessness & irritability when it comes to the whole teething process.
Both products, gel & tablets are 100% natural: homeopathic formula that contains no benzocaine, sugar, artificial flavouring, Parabens or dyes/colouring agents. The only product like it on the market.

Things I won't miss.....

My cousin Christina is graduating from University this week and that got me thinking that one day I'll be watching my kiddlets walk across the stage to receive their diploma...

As much as I want them to stay little for as long as possible and not to grow up too fast, here are the top three things I won't miss...

1. sucking out mucus from little noses with a damn nasal aspirator...seriously they can send a man to the moon but that's the best they can come up with for baby snot removal?

2. the teething process and everything that goes with it...

3. the sleepless nights....my son finally started sleeping through the night when he hit the age of 2 1/2...my daughter is 15 months old...hopefully she appreciates the benefit of a full night's rest long before he brother did...
