Summer is officially here on Sunday but if you live in an area like I do then it has felt like summer for the last few weeks! It is HOT HOT HOT!!! That is why I have been organizing things so I can take total care of my family this summer. I have been determined that this summer would be different. We would be prepared and ready and things would a little more smoothly. They have too thanks to LISTERINE® Brand’s Totally Taken Care Of program and me remembering a few things.
Teeth Are Important
During the summer we are on the go a lot and always seem to forget that the kids spend all day putting things into their mouths. Then they come home at night and swear they brush. Maybe they have but who knows. SO I have made sure to add to my diaper bag all the teeth and mouth health care items we may need while we are out and about. Items such as LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE ( this product does it all and comes in Fresh Mint or Cinnamon flavors) LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE ZERO ( all of the benefits of Total Care in a less intense, zero-alcohol formula) and especially LISTERINE® SMART RINSE® (designed for kids ages 6-12.) I love this because it helps tint food particles and bacteria to leave proof in the sink of a cleaner mouth. IT just helps to have these with us so after lunch or even dinner while we are out those nasty mouths can be handled.
Summer is the time of year when certain members of my family (the kids!) seem to think that because they are on a break than many of their habits can take a break as well. They spend more time trying to convince me that they have brushed their teeth than it would take to actually brush them. That is why I am so thankful for LISTERINE® Brand’s Totally Taken Care Of program! they have us completely covered, including my crazy OCD need to rinse every time I head for the bathroom.
Be Prepared
Another thing I am remembering to be prepared! That is why I stopped in at Walgreens to stock up on sunscreen, first aid, and all the other wellness products that I need. I don’t want to be caught without and Walgreens has everything that I need. For me this is important because there are plenty of times when I need something simple like a bandage and just don’t happen to have one with me. If I get in bulk and be sure I have it in the diaper bag or even in the car then I am good to go.
How do you totally care for your family?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Some of these products are must haves for our summer to take care of the family, like the Band-Aids for sure and the wonderful Neosporin are huge life savers with the kids, can really calm them when they get teary from a cute or scrape.
We spend LOTS if time at the pool in the summer. I always keep tins of sunscreen and a package of band aids on me!
I’ve never tried Listerine products before, but maybe I should.
I really need to add a mouth rinse to my routine. The kid’s use one but I need to start too!
Sunscreen, Neosporin, band-aids and Benadryl are some of the summer staples.
Definitely very important. We always use mouthwash but until recently I hadn’t really looked and saw how many varieties if Listerine there are. I personally like the Naturals, my daughter loves cinnamon. An excellent reminder of taking care of ourselves.
