Helloooo winter! ❄️☃️ Who else got snow today? I’m actually really excited about the winter (anyone else?). I love how it makes us slow down a bit, get comfy and cozy indoors, drink hot chocolate, play board games and have lots and lots of dance parties, cuddles and tickles (okay those last three we do alllll the time but it just feels all the more season-appropriate in winter when we're trying to stay warm 🤗). What’s not so fun? The constant worrying about kids getting sick. If you've ever found yourself googling flu-like symptoms, there's a good chance you've read about meningitis, or - also more than likely - properly freaked out about meningitis. A lot of my first parenting experiences were made markedly worse by 3am googling and it really is so much nicer to instead get myself educated before something serious happens, which makes me feel so much more confident about making the right decisions to help keep our family healthy and happy. I wrote a blog post (link in bio!) with everything I’ve learned about meningitis B (the most common strain of meningitis in Canada) over the past few months to try and educate myself after it became such a hot topic in my circle of friends earlier this year and I wanted to share what I've learned - including that a vaccine to prevent men B is not actually part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule! So I’m making sure I chat with my family doctor at my kids’ next check-up to help make sure that they’re protected. #sponsored
