The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Baby’s Sick Day Guide

1. NoseFrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator

We bought this before Bennett was actually born, went on vacation…then it vanished. This month Bennett got somewhat of a cold, and we were using the good ol’ bulb syringe. I knew that the Nose Frida thing works better, but kept putting it off because I figured we would find it. Ended up buying it from Target one day, and the next day Bennett’s nose was all clear. Definitely glad I picked it up! 

2. Little Noses Saline Spray/Drops

My husband and I are huge fans of the adult saline solution, so when Bennett had his cold we got some for him. This made it so much easier to help him breath. It is a little difficult to count the drops that go in the nose, but a little practice and you will get it! 

3. Infants Tylenol Pain Reliever

I have like 3 bottles of this on hand, one in my room, one in Bennett’s room, and one in the diaper bag. You know how tylenol works for you, well same thing with babies. Today Bennett was running a fever and within an hour it had already dropped a degree. I’m hoping it stays down, but if it doesn’t I’ve got some tylenol to help it. 

4. Vicks Baby Rectal Thermometer

Usually when you call the doctor’s office they ask how the temperature was taken. Yes, the arm is a great way to take it or the forehead thermometer…but nothing is more accurate then the rectal. 

5. Boogie Wipes

These are great for on the go when you want to be gentle on babies nose when wiping it. Saline, Aloe, Chamomile, and Vitamin E make these the perfect go to wipe for any sweet little baby nose. 

Little Something Extra:

When your little one is running a fever you want them in something light but comfy. I love simple T’s from Carter’s or even the Sleep and Play one pieces. Today we totally enjoyed our short sleeve shirt and gdiaper. 

My little man not feeling well today. (Yes, that is a reindeer paci from Christmas–don’t judge.)

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion.

Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
