Did you know that kids can catch six to ten colds year-round?
I’ve never kept track, but that sounds about right. I don’t think there was a single week this past winter when at least one of the kids was feeling under the weather.
Vicks would like to provide one very lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader with a little extra comfort for both mom and child. They’ve put together a “Vicks VapoRub Comfort Care” gift basket valued at $450 filled with Vicks VapoRub along with some other favorite items to make children more comfortable. The basket includes a plush Little Giraffe blanket, classic children’s books and lullaby CDs. And don’t think they forgot about Mom, especially with Mother’s Day a few days away! They’re also including a 100% cashmere wrap, some favorite soothing skincare items from L’Occitane and a manicure/pedicure kit.
For child:
- Vicks VapoRub
- Chenille Blanket
- Soothing lullaby music
- Assortment of children’s books: Corduroy, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Giving Tree, The Little Prince
For mom:
- Nordstrom Cashmere Sweater Knit Wrap
- L’Occitane Shea La Vie Gift Set and Hand Cream

Snuggle with the kids, have a movie night, play games in bed, set up the humidifier, rub vicks under their nose & on their chests.

I like to cuddle up with a book and blanket and eat chicken noodle soup and drink tea ALL day when I’m sick with a cold. It’s harder with my baby… I just do as much as I can with him but he’s not a cuddler even when he’s sick. :(

When my 20 month old son has a cold, we bathe him in Johnson&Johnson’s Vapor Bath. It always helps him breathe better – along with a little of mom’s loving!

For myself or anyone in my family, I recommend a warm bath and comfy pajamas.

When I’m sick, I just like to stay in bed. My husband will take care of me when he gets home from work…I also take good care of him when he is sick.
Thanks Tara, for the opportunity for this great prize.
Happy Mother’s Day:)
