Just like adults, children can become weary of winter weather. While it is great fun to go tobogganing and have snowball fights with your friends, after several months of this all most kids want is to play outside without a heavy coat and snow-pants on. Just this morning my son lamented that he was tired of wearing his boots every day. But the end of the cold weather often means the start of allergy season, which can be a lot more challenging to deal with than wet socks and mittens.
As the saying so famously states, “April showers bring May flowers,” but before we even enter the gateway month of summer the warmer weather will bring with it an unpleasant vortex of airborne pollen and other indoor/outdoor allergens, making some of us teary eyed and sniffly on nice sunny days. Instead of being able to enjoy wearing a baseball cap and not a wool toque, many children will be stuck inside dealing with a variety of symptoms. These can range from sneezing, headache, congestion and fatigue. No fun for kiddos who just want to get outside and play.
Enter Boogie Wipes, to help take care of tender little sniffling noses, by gently cleaning and soothing with natural saline, aloe and vitamin E. Saline helps to dissolve mucous and their compact packaging makes Boogie Wipes a must have for every diaper bag and child’s knapsack. Added benefits of Boogie Wipes include being alcohol, phthalate and paraben free. They are soft to the touch and hypoallergenic as well! It also helps to keep track of symptoms your child experiences in a diary to find a pattern and determine if a child’s allergies are seasonal or reaction to a specific allergen!
The Giveaway
The fine folks at Boogie Wipes know how difficult it can be to encourage personal hygiene among children, so they have made sure to design their products with fun scents and colours to encourage independent cleaning. And they want to give a lucky MapleMouseMama reader a supply of Boogie Wipes to help your kiddos get the most out of the warm weather! To be eligible to win please complete the Rafflecopter below with your qualifying answers. This giveaway is open to Canadian residents over the age of 18. Please read our giveaway rules before entering. This giveaway will end on April 30th, 2018 at 11:59pm. Good luck!!
