School is back in full swing!! Now what does that mean? Busy days, lots of fun, and inevitably germies and sickness. I try my best to keep germs out of my house, but they just seem to work their way in no matter what you do. And allergies, well they are starting to come back with a vengeance!

As a mom, I want to make sure that myself and my kids are as healthy as possible so I wanted to share some tips from Claritin that we can do to make our families ready for this upcoming allergy season.

1. Be sure to have Children’s Claritin, the #1 pediatrician-recommended non-drowsy allergy brand, on hand!

2. Multi-vitamins are building blocks to having a strong immune system. Make taking a multi-vitamin part of your child’s daily routine.

3. Let there be light! Mold doesn’t like sunlight, so try to keep your curtains open during the day. Should be easy during the summer months!

4. Did you know that most pillows trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria? Monitor the cleanliness of the pillow your child with allergies sleeps on and replace if necessary.

5. Back to school season means lots of laundry for many moms. Be sure to remove laundry from the washing machine promptly. Allowing wet clothes to sit in the washer means mold can quickly grow there.

6. Monitor pollen counts and adjust outdoor before and after school activities accordingly. Dry, windy days can be particularly high in pollen.

7. Showering or bathing at the end of the day as opposed to the morning can be helpful in removing allergens from body surfaces and hair.

8. Stay hydrated! Always send your child to school with a bottle of water. Drinking lots of clear fluids through the day can help get rid of toxins and flush out body.

9. Peak pollen production typically occurs in early morning, so try to plan outside activities at other times of the day.

Other tips I would leave with you especially for back to school is get a calendar book that you can write in. I found a fabulous one at Target that had weekly as well as monthly pages where I could write out what I as well as the rest of my family had going on. I could also write out my weekly meal plan. Somehow writing it all out helped me to remember what I was going to cook or what nights we had something going on. Back to school means our lives become really busy and we need to stay as organized as we can so we don’t totally lose our minds!!

Thanks also to Claritin for sending me some Survival Kits to hand out to my mommy friends! We could all use a little help and support.
