by

vaporubDid 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

    My Grandmother always said if you put vicks on your feet at night and then put socks on and go to bed you will not have a cold. It works!!!! She was 93 years old.

    I make homemade soup and make lots of juice. I also snuggle with my son and read to him when he is sick. I do that when he’s well also but he is very clingy when he is sick.

    I make them as comfortable as possible. I let them watch their cartoons while they lay in their bed. They can pretty much have whatever they want to eat and drink. I pretty much just baby them. lol thank you!

    When any of us get sick , I immediately start the homemade chicken soup, a recipe from my great grandma. I’ve even made it for friends and neighbors and they swear by it . Thanks for the giveaway!

    I try to get as much rest as possible. I drink juice and water, eat soup and crackers. When I’m not feeling well I usually spend time just lying on the couch covered up in a blanket watching TV.

    The very first time, I had to laugh — my husband’s father’s sovereign remedy for colds and flu was a hot toddy! It involved several tablespoons of honey, about twice that much lemon juice, and an ounce of hard liquor, all at a temperature about like hot coffee — and surprisingly, it worked fairly well for both sore throats and achy muscles, and definitely helped the young ones get to sleep!!

    being left completely alone is the comfort for me when I’m sick…usually don’t get it, though, lol.

    I like to make a mix of sprite with orange juice and/or apple juice. The bubbles seem to perk us up and the orange juice is just great for the cold!
