This post is Sponsored by FabKids but my opinions are 100% my own! I can't take anymore snow. I can't take anymore cold. I need Spring.  badly. I am Ready For Spring with FabKids!  Well my kids are.

Battle your Cold & Flu Symptoms this Winter with Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Severe

by | , | 0 Comments

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/P&G. I absolutely dread cold & flu season.  Having two children in elementary school,  I cringe when I hear their friends are sick.  Because I know that means it's only a matter of time before it hits us.  Plus my husband is currently going through cancer treatments and getting chemotherapy every 2 weeks so I really don't want my family to get hit with the flu even more this year.   And if I get sick, I still need to take care of everyone else. But it happens unfortunately even if I tell my kids to wash their hands over and over again, sometimes those germs get by.   So I'm glad to live very close to a Walmart because they have everything I...
