Brace Yourselves: Cold and Flu Season is Coming (So Cube Up!)

September 1, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

This post brought to you by Huggies and Kleenex. All opinions are 100% mine.

The school “crud” has already arrived at our house, a mere two weeks after school began. We are using our essential oils to keep the germs to a minimum, but even with their help, we are literally blowing through our stash of tissues.

So I headed out to Sam’s Club on Friday to get cubed up for the season. Kleenex Ultra Soft  is the brand our noses love and appreciate the most, and Sam’s Club is currently offering it in the biggest bundle available of the very popular cube box.

I have 2 main reasons why I love the cube version of KLEENEX® Ultra Soft. The first is that it takes up less space than the rectangle tissue boxes. We live in a small home, and honestly, every square inch needs to count in this place. We like to go vertical instead of horizontal as often as possible, for everything from big to small. The cube is a better design for a space-conscious dwelling. Since these packages take up less space, I’m able to get stocked up on them without worry that I won’t have enough room in my closet where extras like this go.

The second reason is because the cube version is really easy to tote around. The package at Sam’s Club makes it easy for me to give every individual in this house his or her own cube. Not only can they have a home base in each person’s room, but they can also travel with them on those sniffly days when they just need to use a lot.

And friends, those sniffly days are already upon us. I’m seeing a whole lot of this around my house right now:

And there’s not a raw nose in the bunch, thanks to KLEENEX® Ultra Soft.

Convenient Pick Up

Here’s a tip for my fellow Sam’s Club shoppers: use the free online order pickup at Sams.com to get your KLEENEX® Ultra Soft and you’ll be in and out of Sam’s like a flash. If you are like me, it’s hard to walk in there without dropping at least $150, so that little tip might save you some money by way of avoiding temptation!

PediaCare Introduces Cold & Flu Hydration (Big GIVEAWAY!!!)

February 3, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 133 Comments

Ok, we have made it to February! How is your family holding up, health-wise?

Mine definitely got hit hard this season. I got the flu (even though I had the flu shot 6 weeks prior!), and then both of my girls got the flu, as well. Tim’s shot seemed to take, thank goodness!

And honestly, I can’t even keep up with the number of colds we have all been through this year. I think when you have a little one in preschool, that’s just part of the deal. Lots and lots of germs will be headed your way every single day!

Medicine We Love and Trust

It is very important, therefore, that we keep a well-stocked medicine cabinet so that we can do battle with these germs and try to minimize the amount of time we have to lose at work and at school. PediaCare is a big part of our anti-illness arsenal. We have been using their products for infants as well as their products for children all season to help with fever reduction and general relief.

New Product!

I just learned that there’s a new product in their line and because I trust this brand so much, I have already put it on my shopping list for this weekend when I go to Walgreens. It’s called PediaCare® Children’s Cold & Flu Hydration. This is designed for children ages 2-11 as a means to help them stay hydrated. We all know from experience just how tough it can be to keep fluids in a very sick child. But did you know that simply offering water will not replenish electrolytes? It’s true! Electrolytes have to be consumed in order to return to the body after they have been lost. This product restores them.

Additionally, PediaCare Cold & Flu Hydration gives children immune boosting antioxidants. Perhaps what I love the most about it, though, is the way it is packaged. It comes in single-use, pre-measured packets. You simply mix the powder (which is grape flavored) with eight ounces of water. I can’t tell you how many half-used huge bottles of other electrolyte-boosting products I have had to throw away because the serving size was too large. I’m glad PediaCare eliminated that problem!
