Siblings Choice #StreamTeam

April begins the crazy push towards the end of the school year. State standardized testing, marching band trip, field trips, rehearsals all in addition to the regular schedule. Carving out time for family is a little bit more challenging these last couple months of school, but we manage to make sure it happens.

An easy way? Netflix and the family movie.

In April, Sibling Day is celebrated April 10 and I'm sure you saw tons of siblings posts all over social media. Netflix also helped us celebrate the siblings in our house!

I grew up with two younger brothers while my husband is an only child.  For him, the sibling dynamic is completely foreign in our home!  One boy, three girls means there are a lot of times that Andrew is overruled on the movie front in favor of something girly. Thankfully Netflix has options for all of our sibling dynamics in deciding on what to watch --age, personality, genre.

And even for my brothers across the country there is a way to for everyone connect without having to fight over the remote!

We celebrated a little later in the month and the kids made their choices from ALL the lists and we narrowed it down.

From that list the older two decided on Shark Boy & Lava Girl. Turned out to be a big hit with the little two also as we've watched it about 3 times since.

Sick Just Got Real™! #giveaway


This winter was the l o n g e s t  ever!  We had snow again even in April.  Along with that crazy long winter, came a lot of illness in our house.  From the week after Christmas for the following couple months--  pneumonia, bronchitis, colds, lingering persistent coughs, runny and/or stuffy noses, fevers.  It seemed like no one could shake anything. We haven't been sick like we have this winter in years! Rough was an understatement.



I think one of the hardest things as a parent is when your children are sick. Finding relief for them isn't always easy. Sick just got real™, for certain.  Having a few products on hand to help with relief when kids are sick is important to me.





We keep Children's Advil® Fever Reducer and Pain Reliever as a staple in our medicine arsenal for our kids! I love that my girls have no issue taking it when they're running a fever, have aches and pains like ear aches or growing pains. I've found it "kicks in" quickly and offers relief from fever or pain.

Children’s Advil® comes in several great-tasting flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.







Lily had so much interrupted sleep this winter with lingering coughs. We tried all the tricks with steam, vaporizers, you name it.  Using a cough medicine is my last resort, but this Children's Dimetapp® is what works for us!   All in a great tasting grape flavor, Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough tackles a child’s most bothersome stuffy and runny noses, all while working to relieve cough.




Formulated just for kids, Children's Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack (Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion and Children’s Robitussin® Nighttime Cough) non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long-acting nighttime formula relieves coughs and runny noses to help kids get the rest they need.
