Olive Kids! Do You?

Congrats to the Winner! Secret Mom Thoughts
Towards the end of last year, John and I decided that it was time to move Braden from his crib to a toddler bed. Is it just me or is the room spinning a bit? Why is my chest so tight? Oh yeah, that’s that thing that happens when I’m reminded of HOW MUCH MY KID IS GROWING UP. *sniff* We found the perfect little bed and ordered it from JCPenny.com.
Isn’t it darling?
We really wanted to graduate him from the nursery sheets he was using too, and found some absolutely wonderful toddler bedsets at Olive Kids. In fact, Olive Kids carries all kinds of colorful and fun kids designs for all purposes. Many things can be personalized, and they are all incredibly cute and fun. I decided to let John make the final decision on the bedset design (and if you know anything about my control issues, you will know this is a big deal) and even though I really wanted the Wild Animals Set:
John chose the Planes, Trains, & Trucks Set:
And Pillow Sham:
And you know what? He CHOSE WELL. Braden loves it – he exclaims over the “Pwanes!” and “Twucks!” and “Twains!” And it is really adorable.
It’s made with bright, happy colors, and the material seems strong, yet nice and comfy. And he adjusted to his new bed, pillow, and bedset MUCH faster than I wanted him to had expected him to. I blame credit the soft sheets and warm, cuddly comforter. 
Would you like to sample a little Olive Kids fare? You would!? Well, okay! One winner will receive a personalized bookmark, placemat, and nametag in your design choice. Go check them out!
Make sure you check out all they have to offer and then come back here and leave a comment about what you like the best. Comments will be accepted through Tuesday, February 17th.
At the end of the comment period, one commenter will be randomly selected to win a personalized bookmark, placemat, and nametag! (Must have valid email and respond when contacted.) Good luck!
Disclosure: This is an uncompensated review. I received the Olive Kids Planes, Trains, & Trucks Toddler Bedset, Sham, & Comforter for review, free of charge.
Help for our loveable, snotty nosed brats.
Congratulations to the Winner: Walking With Scissors!

If you’re a Mommy or Daddy you have had to (or will, eventually) deal with a sick child. And nothing breaks your heart more than the pathetic way they cry and cling when they are not feeling well. You want to do the best for them, and take away that miserable feeling.
Braden is much too young to take any cold medicines, so I usually just give him tea, baby acetaminophen for pain and fever, and lots of hugs (I kind of like the extra hugs, shhh).
And a zinc lollipop never hurts.
Lollies somehow make everything better for a little while, right?
But if your little one is older, you have a whole other set of worries to deal with. A big one involves when it’s a good idea to send them to school, and when you should keep them home. Luckily, the National Association of School Nurses recently partnered with Triaminic to create “Sick Day Guidelines: Making the Right Call When Your Child Has a Cold.“ This is a great resource for parents of school-aged children (or day care goers!) and I’m going to keep it bookmarked for future reference.
Now, if your child is old enough, there are also children’s medicines that you can get over-the-counter to help alleviate the worst of the symptoms that are making them miserable.
Triaminic has a line of such Children’s cold medicines, in the form of “thin-strips” and “soft chews.” Note that these medicines are only for children aged 4 and up, and it is very important to follow the label directions exactly for the safety of the child.
The Triaminic Thin Strips are pretty cool because they are thin and melt right on the child’s tongue (easy administration). Each strip provides pre-measured dose of medicine so you know your kiddo is receiving the intended dose, every time.
If you’d like to try them, anyone who wants to click here to go to a page where you can download a coupon for $1.50 off the Thin Strips. I love finding deals like this, especially right now when everyone is trying to save a little money anywhere they can.
Also, leave a comment here anytime before 11:59PM CST Wednesday, February 4th and you have a chance at a free sample. If I draw your name on Thursday, I’ll have a free sample of the Triaminic Thin Strips sent to you.
Good luck! I hope all your babies/kiddos are feeling well. When they aren’t, I hope this information helps.
