EVEN HOMESCHOOLERS HAVE BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON

Even though my family homeschools, even we have a “back-to-school” season. For us that means more field trips, and getting out more. As you guys know, my youngest daughter has tons of allergies, one of which is to peanuts. Her allergist tells us that we have to be really vigilent to make sure that she doesn’t even touch a peanut.

That may sound like a hassle, but for our family it just means being a little more aware and having some handy tools. One of those it tools is Wet Ones. We ALWAYS keep some in my purse. I also slip some in my daughter’s jackets and bags when she is at a friends house. That way she can wipe down a table or a seat before she touches it. Peanuts leave a residue that you can’t see, but according to recent studies, wiping the surface down sufficiently can prevent severe allergic reactions.

NO MORE FIGHTING WITH HOW TO STORE WET ONES

I used to just throw some of the Wet Ones in a plastic baggie and send it with my daughter, but now they have these really cool individual packets. Normally I am not a fan of individually wrapped things because it’s just more trash in landfills, but it makes her actually USE them when she goes out. She feels “cool” for some reason. I guess it’s because she actually has something to throw in her purse.

The part that makes me happy is that they are hypoallergenic. She can even use them on her sensitive skin, plus they get rid of 99.9% of germs so I don’t have to worry as much about her getting sick. With all her allergies, she is on immune suppressors and is at a much higher risk for getting sick. These wipes make me feel a little bit better about letting her live as normal of a life as possible.

GREAT FOR MOMS TOO

It’s actually pretty convenient for me to throw in my purse too. When I had them in the plastic baggies they would always try out when I needed them. This way I always have something to wipe my hands on when I need it. It works amazingly out in the garden.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
