It seems like everybody is sick these days!
Over the holidays there was pretty much constant coughing and throat clearing and wiping of slimy hands and faces. I know, it’s gross, but it’s true. I have no doubt that there isn’t a home in Canada that hasn’t been affected by some sort of illness over the last month or so.
Call me a rookie mother, but I didn’t manage to get our house stocked up with enough tissue for cold and flu season. Fortunately, I was provided with a package of Charmin products to try out over the holidays, and that kept us covered for all of the nose-blowing that went on.
Charmin Freshmates are flushable wipes that I’ve found so handy to have in the bathroom. I’ve used them for wiping Nate’s face and hands, for touching up makeup, and once, in a pinch, as an alternative to regular baby wipes when changing a diaper. They also came in very handy when Nate had an epic, messy sneeze that he still talks about!
When the Puffs facial tissues ran out, the Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper came in very handy, as well.

We all had colds before Christmas so I’m hoping we’re done for now. It was pretty bad for a week because everyone was sick at the same time.
