During the winter months I become the world's most paranoid person ever. I haven't been like this my entire life, but because Em is considered "medically fragile" with her diagnosis of holoprosencephaly, I try to be extra vigilant during the winter to make sure our house stays germ free, and that when someone does catch something, I like to make sure our house is well stocked and prepared ahead of time, so that we can nip whatever is going around in the bud before it gets out of hand. In the early fall I usually head over to Smith's and pick up everything we'll need in on fell swoop, that way everything is on hand when we need it, and we're not rushing out the door to get something the moment someone gets a sniffle. We like to keep lots of things on hand, but here are six things we never like to be without:

Dial Hand Soap: As you can imagine, I'm a huge advocate for hand washing. I try to keep at least three backups of Dial Complete Foaming Handwash in the cabinet at all times. I love that it's antibacterial and kills 99.9% of germs, and that it's America's #1 selling soap.

Halls Cough Drops: These are a must have for when you get that scratch in your throat that won't go away. I love the honey lemon flavor, something Derek turned me onto after we got married, and I love that these ones have triple soothing action, so they get the job done quickly!

Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues: Tissues are an obvious no brainer, but these Kleenex Anti-viral tissues kill 99.9% of germs in the tissue. Nothing like getting the germs killed right on the spot. Bonus points for being the #1 consumer preferred brand!

Breathe Right Extra: I never understood why my parents used these when I was younger, and now as an adult, I can't live without them. My nose always gets so stuffed when I try to sleep in the winter months and it is awful! I love using Breathe Right Extra because it helps breathe, sleep, and feel better without harmful drugs, and it's super easy to apply!

Tylenol Cold And Flu Severe: Derek is basically good for one intense round of getting "man sick" every winter, and Tylenol Cold and Flu Severe is his go to. He like's that there are both daytime, and nighttime pills in one package so he doesn't have to get multiple products. It's his go to for all in one relief from cold and flu symptoms.

Theraflu ExpressMax: Know how basically every mom says that it should be illegal for mom's to get sick? I love taking Theraflu ExpressMax Severe Cold and Flu because it's powerful relief without a prescription, and it defeats 7 cold and flu symptoms fast. That way I can keep the house running and the kids alive while Derek is in bed being "man sick".

What are your favorite items to stock the house with in the winter months? I love that I can grab everything I need at Smith's before the season gets here, and know that I have some peace of mind all winter long! Take advantage of savings on these products.
