Moot Thoughts & Musings

It seems that everyone in blogosphere is reporting the invasion of the snot monster into their homes. Thankfully, we seem to be avoiding coldiness (knock on wood).

I wanted to put in a plug for something we use when the snotties visit: Warming Vaporous Rub, which I happened to find at Whole Foods--though I'm sure it's not hard to find a basic rub like this (or even make your own). It's a rub containing pine, peppermint, lavender, thyme, and yarrow essential oils. We used this a lot when E was a baby. It smells so nice and really brings a lot of relief for average snotties. (Something else you could do is just put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in the vaporizer or bath.)

Here's to babies who can breathe better!
