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
  • Sephora Professional Manicure/Pedicure Nail Kit
  • Essie Spa Pedicure Mini Kit

    How do you add Deal Seeking Mom to your blog roll or sidebar? I’d like to do it but have no clue on how to do it. Thanks!!

    I actually use a medicated inhalant in my vaporizer and a good antihistamine at night to help them get good rest. My kids are all over 4 years old.

    We have a remedy that has been passed around to all family and friends, and they continue to use it whenever anyone in their family comes down with a cold. You need a couple oranges and lemon, and cut into quarters. Then squeeze them into a pot with a small amount of water and boil down until you have a cup of “orange tea” packed with vitamin C. For children you can add sugar to make it a little sweeter. Drink one cup before bedtime and you will notice a big difference in how you feel the next day. It works!

    When the little one is under the weather, she gets to snuggle with mommy for naptime. :>

    When I get sick, I like to put on sweats, drink herbal tea, and just veg out all day! I also like eating soup and watching movies…. just do nothing but stay inside and rest! My mom used to rub my back and srtoke my hair when I was little.

    we like to snuggle up and watch old dvds – stuff that we haven’t seen for awhile that makes us happy :)

    When we aren’t feeling good (like now!), the kids love chicken soup with TONS of noodles!

    When my girls are sick, they usually want lots of cuddles and me just being close comforts them.

    When under the weather, my boys like to be coddled:-) For some reason they also like to have their temperature measured every 5 seconds or so…I humor them.

    When I’m under the weather, I like to be left alone. Rarely does that happen.
