Hi friends, I’m writing about Vick’s again. Remember that? I’m part of the Vick’s Blogging Brigade ? I was definitely compensated to write these posts but keep in mind that I only agree to these partnerships when it’s a company and/or product that I firmly believe in. So, it’s okay. You can keep reading. No shenanigans here.

I’ve always had growing pains in my legs. When I was little girl climbing trees (and then falling out of them), as a teenager and even now as a Mama to three with one on the way. My legs simply hurt nearly every night.

When I’m pregnant is when this problem is particularly intense because I try to avoid taking Tylenol and I most definitely can’t take an anti-inflammatory, so I’m left lying in bed, unable to sleep because my legs just hurt.

Sometimes, while I’m lying in bed, unable to sleep because my legs just hurt, Anna and Noah will wake up and tell me their legs hurt, so I’ll climb out of bed, legs aching and give them some medicine and a nice little rub and then they fall asleep.

Brian is a busy guy but always obliges when I ask him to rub my legs before bed. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, when I had a terrible cold, unable to breathe, (again, unable to medicate due to pregnancy!) that I thought to have Brian rub my legs using Vick’s Vapor Rub. Friends, not only did my legs feel so much better, but I could breathe and then? I slept.

The best part? Vick’s Vapor Rub can be used on children ages two and up. So next time they wake up with sad little leg pains? This is what I’ll be reaching for and not the Ibuprofen.

Are you a fan of Vick’s on Facebook? Go. Do. Now. They’re fun to follow.

I’ll be back later this month with a Vick’s giveaway!

Hi friends. This is my first sponsored post by Vicks. I was recently approached to be a part of their Blogger Brigade. I receive numerous offers to take part in sponsored posts, I rarely partake but I always consider the opportunity. One of my most important decision factors is whether or not I truly use/will use the product and also if I feel the product could/would benefit my readers. I’ve always said that nothing is more important to me than my readers, so I consider you in every decision I make. (well, not all decisions, just ones that have to do with this here blog.)

So, Vicks approached me before the holidays, we talked, I considered and I agreed! I’ll be posting for Vicks once a month until June. I’m excited about this opportunity, I hope that you are, too!

Did you know that February is the month with the highest percentage of flu cases? Nearly 50% off all flu cases take place in February. Be sure to wash your hands! Up to 60% of all colds are transmitted by contaminated surfaces.

Yesterday, Vicks launched a VapoRub Facebook page to help Moms and Dads find advice on how to keep the whole family healthy. I visited the page for the first time today, it’s honestly full of great information and it’s really fun to see the open-forum with consumers, just like you and I. You can “like” the page here. I hope to see you over there!
