We are getting ready to head back to school here. September 1st to be exact. It’s a little bitter sweet for me. I think it’s like that every year. I enjoy the days with the kids, but by the week or two before school I am ready for them to go back. They start to fight and get on each other nerves and it becomes a HUGE chaotic mess. That’s where we are now. I am ready, they are ready. I will embrace the last few days with them off, but we all need the routine back.

The one thing that really bothers me is the whole sharing of colds. I am willing to bet they will be in school just a few weeks and one of the two will have a cold. They then bring the cold home and we share it for the better part of a month. I try to do what I can to eliminate the situation, but I don’t have total control. Thankfully for me there are products like Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial PocketBac Sanitizing Hand Gel that I am arming the kids with. The kids found these so neat and I have to say, they have really gotten creative with the scents! This particular collection is called “Lunch Box” and comes in 5 fun scents: PB&J, Honey Pretzel, Bag of Grapes, Juice Box and Marshmallow Treat. I love the names and I love that the smells are targeted for the kids because they actually WANT to use these. That’s good news for me because I can feel better that some of the germs won’t make it to their mouth and noses through their hands. These bottles are PERFECT 1 FL ounce size too. This means each child can leave one in their lunch box and one in their desk ~~and mom will keep the PB&J because she loves the smell~~. Priced at just $1.50 each, or mix and match 5 for $5, they are very comparable to the plain ones you can buy. Only because these have an enticing smell the kids WANT to use them, which wasn’t the case last year when I handed them bottles. I got full bottles back at the end of the year. A product that they will use and have fun using and will help me, I’m all for it!!
