It's everyone's fave time of the year, all the kids and even adults dressed as their favorite characters, and of course the never ending supply of candy. But, with all the fun comes a little bit of craziness and the question of safety. We all want our children to dress up, enjoy the day but most importantly we want them safe. So here are a few ways we can ensure their safety while out and about on Halloween night.



  • Instead of traditional trick or treating, go for a more intimate group activity. I am a firm believer that there is power in numbers and also it creates better community. So finding local group activities, with a group of people that you know or have been able to build a community with, will help with safety. Activities like local school trunk or treat or coming together with other friends to host your own Halloween party instead. 
  • Check your child's bag, this is something most parents are already aware of and I would hope you are already doing but, I think more than ever it is so important for us all to be reminded and not just only say it but practice it too. 
  • If you plan to head door to door trick or treating be sure to go over the rules with your child, especially the amount of houses you will be visiting, and basic rules around crossing the streets. Most importantly have an emergency plan and a back up plan, just in case things go sideways. 
  • Every child should have a chaperone, more than ever you are seeing older aged kids getting into trick or treating (12 to about 16 years of age) But because these kids are a little older in age and more independent most parents tend to let them be, and not feel the need to accompany them. But I don't think anyone is exempt from an extra set of eyes, to be aware of their surrounding. Also with proper adult accompanying these young adults, they are less prone to get into things they shouldn't be.

Halloween is such an enjoyable holiday especially for our kids, I know my girls get very excited to dress up as their favorite characters and be able to get all the candy but, on the other side of that Halloween night can easily become one an unsafe night for our kids if we aren't careful and aware of what is going on. I would like to know how do you ensure your kids are safe on Halloween night?

Back-to-school season can sometimes mean back to cold/flu and fever season. As much as I love getting my kids back to school, it can be a lot on my and their immune system. But this year, I am getting ahead of things and implementing simple tricks into our everyday life to help relieve common cold symptoms and reduce fever during this back-to-school season.

  • Wash your hands - My girls know once they get home from school, the first thing they do is wash their hands. Germs are prone to being passed around in those classrooms so by washing their hands, I am hoping to stop those germs dead in their tracks before they can get comfortable in our home. 
  •  Being prepared with OTC medicine because sometimes, you really can’t avoid these things. One of my faves right now is Children’s TYLENOL® Dissolve Packs that I was able to purchase at my local Walgreens store. My girls are not big fans of taking med when they are sick, so being able to give them something easily dissolves on their tongues and comes in a kid-friendly, wild berry flavor makes things so convenient. Being prepared with medicine like this makes life a lot easier for me—so the fact that I don’t have to deal with any bottles or have to measure and shake is just perfect. Quick mom note, always remember to follow directions that come with the medicine

  • Stay up to date on doctors’ visits. I am making sure the entire family is up to date on all our shots and physicals. This is so important once the kids are back to school because you are able to stay ahead of things before it gets worse—and it’s just good practice, honestly. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any questions or concerns. As parents, we are so good about getting the kids checked out but tend to forget ourselves. Then, when things go south, we are hit a lot worse. 
  • Vitamins and juices!!! Fluids are so important at this time of the year, not only to stay properly hydrated but also as extra sources of vitamin c. 
  • Disinfecting frequently. Disinfecting wipes are my best friend during this season. Cleaning spaces frequently and thoroughly will help to keep the germs at bay

By staying ahead of these things, you are able to do everything in your power to get through the school year with as few sick days as possible. As I mentioned before, if you do get hit with the common cold or flu, Children’s TYLENOL® Dissolve Packs are a great way to help your kids feel better with its effective pain and fever relief. Shopping for it at my local Walgreens, I was so happy with how easy and fast it was to grab a couple of boxes and be out of the store in no time. When your child is sick, the last thing you want is to be in a store for way too long. I would love to know what are some ways and things you are implementing this school year to help in preventing or keeping fevers, cold and flu out of your home?
