Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway


This time of year our little ones are bound to catch a cold, suffer from allergies and deal with stuffy or runny noses. Most little ones have the same reaction when we try to wipe their runny noses or clean their messy faces. They turn their heads, fight the tissues and cry making it near impossible to get those boogies. My son does not like to have his face cleaned or his nose wiped! He runs at the site of a tissue, wet wipe or wash cloth. When I finally catch him he reacts like most little ones. He recently had a cold and each time I tried to wipe his nose it was a battle and in the end he had a sore nose from the tissues. In the middle of that cold I received Boogie Wipes Gentle Saline Grape Scent Wipes, Boogies On The Run Fresh Scent Wipes and for me Saline Soothers to review. It was perfect timing! When he first saw the Boogie Wipe he ran as usual but when I finally caught up to him I let him smell the Boogie Wipe’s grape scent then he let me wipe his nose without the typical battle. There is no more running when he sees the Boogie Wipes. Boogie Wipes are soft and gentle on his nose and after switching from tissues to Boogie Wipes his nose was no longer red and sore. I am very impressed with how soft and gentle they are and how well my son took to using them. These are nothing like wet wipes, with the added saline, vitamin e and aloe they are gentle on noses and faces and leave your little one clean, boogie free and without sore, red noses. My son loves them because they smell and feel good, I love them because they are the solution to the struggling toddler, they gently get those noses clean and their prices are affordable and worth every penny. Boogie Wipes belong on the list of baby, toddler and children must have items. After my experience with Boogie Wipes I will never use tissue on my little one or myself again!




Boogie Wipes gentle Saline Wipes are available in;
 Simply Unscented, Grape Scent, Fresh Scent and Menthol Scent
Boogies on the Run are individually wrapped wipes; they are perfect for putting in diaper bags, purses and pockets. Boogies On The Run are available in;
 Grape Scent and Fresh Scent.
Saline Soothers are soothing moisturizing wipes for adults. They are also leave our noses soft and boogie free. Saline Soothers are available in;
 Cool Menthol and Scent Free.

Ultimate Blog Challenge ~ 31 Posts in 31 Days Post #3

Ultimate Blog Challenge Post #3


The boys and I have a morning routine. Each morning the oldest monsters get up early to get ready for school. They are at the ages that they take care of themselves then let me know they are leaving. Justin is homeschooled so he and the youngest monster are home with me every day. Liam gets up a little before Justin does so each morning we come downstairs, I put the gate up, close any open doors, dress Liam then make breakfast. This morning as I was putting up the gate and closing the doors Liam found the bag of cereal that one of the oldest monsters left on the table. The downstairs is a pretty open floor plan so I was not far from Liam at any time yet he managed to dump out the entire bag of cereal on to the table. I found him enjoying his “breakfast” as he was picking out and eating all of the marshmallows. Food seems to be Liam’s most favorite thing to get into. I shared the last food sneaking episode, his Nutella adventure. You can find that story HERE.


 Later that day as I was making lunch Liam took the loaf of bread, set it on the floor and proceeded to use it as a step stool to get whatever he could off the counter. I was getting the turkey for our sandwiches out of the fridge as he did this. Of course he didn’t get far as I was right there. Liam will find some pretty creative ways to get what he wants. He will move his little chair, boxes, Kleenex boxes and loaves of bread to use as step stools.
I share these stories with some humor but please do not think that I encourage or allow Liam to do as he pleases. I absolutely teach and encourage limits and boundaries. Liam has never and will never get into or do anything dangerous or anything that has the potential to hurt him. You will never hear a story of him getting hurt, wandering off, running with sharp objects etc.
I would love to hear others stories of their curious toddlers! SO, if you have a curious toddler moment PLEASE share by commenting on this post!
