I'm sharing Zicam® in my life as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars. All opinions expressed about How To Shorten a Cold So You Can Feel Better Faster are my own. It's here. The dreaded cold season. Duhn Duhn Duuuuuhn! Just a few weeks ago, one of my kids came home from school and said, "Mom, I think I'm getting a Man cold. You know, like the kind of cold Dad gets." I looked at him and said, "You better hope you get a 'Mom cold' ...

What to Do When Your Child Has a Stomach Virus
I have been compensated by Pedialyte for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. I think one of the worst things about being a parent is having to clean up vomit. Even the word vomit makes me cringe on the inside. Ugh. I remember the first time my son got a stomach virus. He was three years old. One of my first reactions was, I need to call my mom so she can get over here and clean this up! Seriously. That's ...

Wouldn't it be great if you could exercise and play video games at the same time? If you answered yes to that question, you are going to love Goji Play.

Goji Play Makes Exercise Fun For Kids
This blog post was sponsored by Blue Goji, but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience with the Goji Play Game System. Kids fitness experts recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. It's wonderful if kids can participate in sports programs, dance or other activities that get them up and moving. Some kids may not be interested in those kinds of things. That's okay, as long as they have other ways to get up ...

All opinions expressed in the blog post are my own. Not that long ago, I was at a Cub Scouts meeting with my son and noticed one of the other boy's teeth. He had a great smile, but for the two large spots of tooth decay on his front teeth. My first thought was that I wanted to find his ...

I know it is only a matter of time this cold and flu season before one of my kids will come up to me, clutching at their throat with a miserable look on their face, whispering, "Mom...my throat is hurting." I will take a deep breath and think (probably out loud), "I sure hope you don't have strep throat" and then, "Where's the flashlight?" There's only one way to tell what's going on with a sore throat - and that is to get a good look at it. I ...
