Getting Through the Tough Days of Being a Mom + Giveaway

IMG_2974-001The video and gift card have been provided by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

As a mom, there are so many perfect and joyous moments in each day.  From the first days at home, to first days at school, there is laughter and smiles and picture-perfect moments.  There are also plenty of not so great, hectic, frantic and down-right crazy moments in the mom life.  Have you ever had to take care of two sick kids at the same time?  I can remember a time when Ollie was sick with a stomach ailment and Ruby was covered head-to-toe in hives at the same time.  The hives were so bad she was physically ill, feverish and lethargic.  That was quite the challenge and I felt so bad for them both, I hate to see my loves being sick and uncomfortable.  As a parent, all we want is for our kids to be healthy and happy.  

The pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer healthcare have released this Sick just got real TM video  shown above that gives an idea of what us moms sometimes go through when our kids are sick.  When life is at it’s worst, it can only get better, right?  I like to think positive in those kinds of situation, it really helps me to get through it all.  It always helps to stock up on Children’s Advil and Children’s Robitussin so that I’m ready when sickness does strike.  Visit SickJustGotReal.com for sick solutions, sick support, coupons and more.

    The video was sort of funny, pretty cliche’ though. The hamster was cute. My older kids are college aged and always telling me they’re sick.

    Absolutely right here… one of the worst things *ever* is when my daughter is sick. I feel so helpless and I’m not very good with “helpless!” 🙂

    I thought the video was cute and touching. It’s hard when little ones get sick, i just want them to feel better as well. I try to comfort them and do anything to make them feel at ease and rest.

    I thought the video was incredibly sweet! Mom always puts her little ones first- even if she just wants a break!!

    Even though it’s been awhile since my children were little, I can really relate to this video.

    Oh I loved the video. It is so hard to see our kids sick, and all we want is they to feel better. I just take a deep breath and try to help them feel as best they can when they are ill. Lots of stories!

    I thought the commercial was cute and I can certainly relate. We get through the sick times with plenty of rest and liquids.

    It’s all too real. My daughter has an ear infection and I feel awful for her.

    I thought it was hilarious how she went into a dream world while on the toilet.

    I had four children 5 and under and when they were all sick at one time, my husband and I would work as a team caring for their needs. Occasionally, we would both take off work to care for the kids.
