Cold and Flu Season Essentials

My boys were sick this past week with RSV and it was brutal. It’s cold and flu season right now so I thought I would share the products I used to help speed up the boys recovery and get them feeling better. I made sure to include natural safe products and brands that I love to use.

Immunity Support

It’s so important to support your kids immune system during cold and flu season. These are some of my favorite natural products to give your kids that will give them that extra boost to stay healthy or fight a virus faster. I love Mary Ruth’s products because they are non GMO, allergy free, vegan friendly and caters to a much wider audience.

When my kids start feeling sick I start giving them Elderberry drops and vitamin C right away. I included a Toddler Immunity booster bundle and kids immunity bundle below. Hope this helps! Links to products are below the picture.

Toddler Immunity Bundle

1. Probiotic // 2. Vitamin D3-K2 // 3. Vitamin C // 4. Elderberry // 5. Zinc

Kids Immunity Bundle

1. Probiotic // 2. Zinc // 3. Vitamin C // 4. Elderberry // 5. Vitamin D3

Diffuser for Oil

I always put a diffuser in my boys room when they are feeling sick. I add the Eucalyptus oil in for them while they sleep. Also good to keep a diffuser going in your main living space as well. Just helps them feel better.

1. Wooden Diffuser // 2. Light up diffuser // 3. Vivitest // 4. Asakuki

Essential Oil’s

I would just always have Eucalyptus oil in the house during cold and flu season. I also love breathe oil and lemon. I just think anything extra to help make your kids feel better helps!

1. Amazon Eucalyptus // 2 .Target Eucalyptus // 3. Lemon // 4. Breathe

Humidifier

Having a humidifier during cold and flu season is a must. I’ve heard it can be hard to find after cold and flu season has started so you should get one now if you don’t have one. A humidifier helps to increase moisture in the air which can ease symptoms and may also reduce nasal congestion related to cold and flu. It can also help with breathing easier when kids have a runny nose and a dry cough.

1. Cool mist humidifier // 2. Pure Humidifier // 3. Levoit small // 4. Levoit Big

Thermomentor

I love the digital thermometers especially when you are tired in the night and you need results fast. I think the ear one is the most accurate and thats is what I have.

1. iHealth thermometer // 2. Forehead thermometer // 3. Ear Thermometer

Cold & Flu Medicine

Here are some natural cold and flu medicine that are safe for kids to take during cold and flu season. I love anything from Beekeepr’s, Wellements, and Genexa. These brands are made with the ingredients you need to help with cold and flu, but without the artificial ingredients.

1. Beekeeper’s cough // 2. Wellements cough // 3. Genexa Cough
1. Genexa Fever reducer // 2. Hylands Pain Relief // 3. Little Remedies Fever

Throat Support

1. Throat Spray // 2. Burts Bee soothing pops // 3. Lolleez

Stuffy or Runny Nose

1. Boogie Wipes & Spray // 2. Boogie Mist Saline inhaler // 3. Baby Nasal Aspirator // 4. Nose Frida

Chest Rub

I love chest rub during cold and flu season. I will use this to rub on their chest and the bottom of their feet. I’ll do this before bed and just helps with their breathing.

1. Chest Rub // 2. Zarbee’s chest rub

A year ago today I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly to LA and meet Katie Couric. I also met some amazing women and we were able to talk about the toll of a cancer diagnosis. Help people feel less alone in the cancer world. @katiecouric @katiecouricmedia #cancer #cancerawareness #cancerdiagnosis
Thought I’d post on my feed because a lot of you Thought I’d post on my feed because a lot of you have said you don’t see my stories anymore.  My aunt and uncle are taking my boys to visit my parents in Canada. I wanted a break and my parents wanted to see the boys so this just worked out so well! 

Going to be getting all the stuff done this week that I’ve been wanting to do, but I hope I plan in fun/relax time as well! 

Comment “Canada” to get a DM and see the video of our last trip to Canada where my parents saw the boys for the first time since they moved. It’s so cute!
How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just to How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just too much! Anyone else feel like this? 

Maybe we aren’t suppose to be doing it all at once but when I let some things go I feel guilty. It makes sense we are meant to have a partner in life. Playing both roles is weighing on me. Hard to be mom and dad, managing the home, be the only income. At the end of the day if something needs to get done it’s on me. No one to lean on or go through it with. 😢 #singleparents #youngwidow #widow #parenting #lifequotes #quotes
