stylish sniffles

I never thought I’d be the mom of 2 boys. Never! Maybe it’s because I am such a girly-girl (or at least I was before childbirth, countless sleepless nights and the lack of date nights out with my husband.) But here I am with 2 adorable…boys! OK, so they seem to have a sensitive side and they don’t much like rolling around in the dirt, but they do have their fair share of beastie boy quirks. Like how many times can ‘You know there are things called tissues?’ come out of my mouth? What is it about the sleeve that draws runny noses to it like a moth to a flame? Or how about, ‘Cough into your arm, please. Not on your friend!’

And then I found sniffle sleeves…adorable covers for a child’s sleeve in various germ-fighting patterns that reminds them to cough or sneeze into their arm. You can even add various essential oils to reduce the germs being spread and even lesson your kid’s symptoms. That’s good news for this family of 4! Visit snifflesleeves.com.

And for my infant son, I’m loving these adorably packaged Boogie Wipes! They’re made with saline, alcohol free and come in kid-friendly scents.

If you really want to make nice with your germs,  sells cute and cuddly, plush microbe replicas. Think cold and flu viruses. Each comes with information about getting sick so you can educate your little one (or give it to a grown-up in your life with a sense of humor!)
