Moms are the glue to any family, we have the ability to fix boo-boo’s, make nutritious meals, carpool kids to and from school and after school activities and so much more it’s mind boggling really. So it goes without saying that when mom is sick…the well organized machine of a family sinks fast. Well, perhaps it’s different in your home, but here at the Eaglin household when I get sick all the pieces of the puzzle fall apart rather quickly. Bless my hard working husband for trying, but he’s simply not me. I simply do not have the time to be down and out for a few days so I do what all smart moms do best – I get better faster with the help of effective medicine and my own go-to sick survival kit. My go-to sick survival kit is something I have relied on ever since I became a mother 8 years ago. It consists of things and products that make me get better faster.

poor, sick mommy

My go-to sick survival kit includes:

A good book (Twilight is a good book!)
Warm fuzzy socks
A thermometer
Chicken soup
Warm chamomile & lavender tea
A box of tissues
Throat lozenges
Chapstick
Vicks DayQuil Severe
Vicks NyQuil Severe

These items in my go-to sick survival kit make me cozy and help relieve my worst cold and flu symptoms that way I can be back up and running to take care of my 4 kids in no time.

I take Vicks NyQuil Severe at night during a cold to temporarily relieve my symptoms so that I can get a better night’s rest and be able to tackle the next day. With Vicks DayQuil I am able to relieve cough, chest congestion, headache and those horrible aches & pains associated with a cold or flu while not being drowsy and still able to carpool the kids to and from school. Being able to count on a good medicine to make me not only feel better but also make me completely able to function and non-drowsy is absolutely the most important to me.

Walmart has everything you need to get through cold and flu season. In just one convenient stop, you can grab everything you need for your own sick survival kit: Vicks Severe, Puffs tissues, chicken soup, and warm fuzzy socks just like mine. Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Severe are available at Walmart.com and in stores so be sure to stock up to prepare for cough, cold and flu season.
