Congrats to edmontonjb – the winner of this Giveaway!
We absolutely LOVE Boogie Wipes in our house! Especially when the kids are sick with those runny nose or stuffy nose illnesses.
Nose wiping can be such a struggle with young children. My son REALLY doesn’t like to have his nose wiped. However, with this amazing invention of Boogie Wipes (that comes in a few different varieties: Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented), I can simply hand him one, he wipes his nose and the schmoogies (that’s what we call Boogies in our house) simply wipe away.
It’s the amazing qualities of the natural saline in the wipes that dissolve the mucous. It literally dissolves those dried up, hard to wipe off, stubborn boogies and allows you to wipe them right off.
My favourite scent, by far is the Magic Menthol, but I am a closet mint/menthol FREAK! I love everything mint.
I like the re-sealable packages for home use and I also LOVE the individual packets that I can store in my diaper bag or put in my daughter’s backpack for those icky emergencies!
I’ve seen Boogie Wipes on the shelves at local Grocery Stores, so they are readily available in Canada now, which is so exciting! My tiny pharmacy that I go to even sells them! People everywhere swear by them, my family included!
Please note: I am trying out RaffleCopter as a means of giveaway entries. Rafflecopter is still very new and is currently in “test mode” so there still may be a few glitches (on their part and on mine!). I’d love your feedback on it – do you love it, like it, hate it and why! You can leave your feedback in the comments on this post. The comments on this post aren’t included in the random entries – those are tracked in Rafflecopter. Also, if you don’t see the Rafflecopter pop up after you click on the “Read More” button below, either click on the title of this post OR try viewing this in a different internet browser.
When the kids have flu, i make sure they don’t drink anything cold,i always give them warm water till they get better.
I’m in love with the Raffelcopter, i’ll use it in my next giveaway. Thanks to whosoever that created this. Now giveaways are getting pretty easier to enter than before.

I usually make a pot of hot homemade chicken noodle soup. Freezies are great for sore throats.
I make sure the kids stay hydrated!
chicken soup and rest
Best advice for vomiting I’ve gotten– encourage frequent, small sips of water (or whatever they will drink).
No trick really, just lots of love…a comfy spot on the couch with warm blankets and a good movie…and of course a lap to rest on
I’m still figuring out the best way to care for my boy when he’s sick. It seems to be relaxing for all of us to cuddle on the couch and watch a favourite movie!
I like Rafflecopter so far. Much faster to enter giveaways, especially compared to posting comments on WordPress blogs that make you wait between posts. Sometimes it’s slow to load, but that might be my internet connection. I don’t usually do daily entries which is where I’ve seen other people reporting issues.
Whenever my son was sick with a cold and was congested, i would have him sleep in his recliner chair. He would be much less congested sitting upright instead of laying down.
No trick really. Just lots of cuddles. My mom thinks flat gingerale can cure any tummy ache.
Don’t give them milk or ice cream when they are sick. Get them to drink lots of liquids.
Snuggles…lots of snuggles.
I agree with all the chicken soup comments!
When my kids are sick, they always get “dad’s spot” on the sofa. It’s amazing how much joy they get from making dad sit somewhere else.
I wish I had a trick, but I dont…I just remember that all things will pass and do whatever they want 😛
my daughter she likes freezies and they sell pedialite freezies and she seems to like them! That and extra patience and hugs
my baby has not been sick even when she got her vaccine. she’s only 4-month old but i bought meds already, just in case. 😀
When our kids get sick we use lots and lots of lysol wipes and face masks.

A trick I always had was to use the pedialyte ice pops to prevent dehydration.

I use a washcloth and have them lay it on their head when they lay down.
