What do you do when you are full of the snot monster?...

Over the past few weeks I have encountered way TOO many boogers! When you have four toddlers there are MANY a nose to wipe! It got me thinking, what all do I do to battle the snot monster? I mean this slimy stuff seems to come out of all crevices when you're sick! YUK! We definitely make a trip to the pharmacy to get the necessities or better yet to Costco & to buy in bulk. LOL!
We also go see the doctor to make sure the "icky" bug does not spread if we have way TOO many days of ickiness! Nothing like a runny nose to turn into something much BIGGER when you least expect it to! Our defenses were down & we had to bring in reinforcements. Enter a BIG bottle of saline spray.
then the blue nose aspirator. I LOVE this thing! It gets anything & everything out of a nostril! If there is a booger in there this thing will find it!

I however LOVE my Neti Pot! The BEST thing ever made for the sinuses! If you don't have one of these things you should get one! On a side note they even make them for children! Not that you will be able to get a small child to put salt water up there nose but the option exists! LOL!& then I get a MANY boxes of tissue & place them all over the house. We LOVE Puffs PLUS brand with lotion added. Gotta keep that nose happy or it will come back to bite you! Nothing worse than having a raw, red, sore nose from TOO much blowing!

So now that you know what I do during these times...

Olba's Oil at night. A couple drops on washcloth left near their head or on their pillow case. It works like the Vicks vapor plug ins but much better and cheaper in the long haul.

I JUST spotted a neti pot and thought about getting it for a sec. I think I'll have to go back and scoop it up for next time! Thanks for the tip. Really hope you guys are feeling better soon!
