Returning back to school is no easy feat for anyone, neither children nor parents. After a few months of sleeping in, suddenly we are faced with the jolting sounds of a blaring alarm clock. I’ll be packing lunches and making sure everyone is appropriately dressed all before the school bus pulls up. I’m so not looking forward to that stressful morning rush each day but I’m not going to lie; I am looking forward to everyone being back to school.

 

The other part of the day I’m dreading a little bit? Homework. Let’s just say that common core is not my thing. The frustrating after school work is usually plagued with lots of complaining and tears and it all happens around the same time that I’m preparing dinner. This is what I call the second rush of the day, and it’s bound to give me a headache. For that I’ll have Extra Strength TYLENOL® on hand. When I’m suffering from tension headaches it’s especially helpful. It temporarily relieves minor aches and pains due to: the common cold, headache, backache, minor pain of arthritis, toothache, muscular aches, premenstrual and menstrual cramps; temporarily reduces fever.

Between lugging heavy sports equipment and getting back into my own workout routine, I like to keep Ultra Strength BENGAY^® Cream around. This cream temporarily relieves the minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with: simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains.

Back-to-school also means our kids are stepping into the petri dish we commonly call the classroom. After a long summer children not accustomed to being in enclosed spaces for long periods of time. Now that’ll change and our kids will exchange germs and bacteria and inevitably will catch something. Right before fall I stock up on Children’s Motrin for this very reason. I let them pick the flavor and they went with Bubble Gum, of course.

It’s important to be prepared for all of these situations and we get back into our fall back-to-school routines. We shopped at Target to find all three products. Get positively prepared with the right pain relief for you and your family at Target.

Now that we’ve stocked up on all of our over the counter medicines, it’s time to focus on the other items that need to be squared away before school starts. I put together this back to school checklist printable to help you get all of your affairs in order.
