TOUGH TIMES
We often struggle with knowing what to do, or even what to say, when a loved one is going through a tough time. And when it is our own family facing those struggles, we often feel alone and secluded.
But hen we are faced with struggles, it often gives us an opportunity to “reset.” Oftentimes, without even realizing it, we dial back to the basics. What we are left with is what truly counts. It forces us to shift our focus on to what actually matters most. To simplify the chaos, and be present. Learn some of life’s valuable (and not always pleasant) lessons. And then, eventually, move forward in a new positive way.
Our goal with this collection is to bring you personal stories that let you know that you are not alone, as well as resources to help others who may need some extra loving support! Take advantage of articles, conversation starters, a video, recipe, DIY and more – to get you, or your loved one, through this difficult time! And the best part is that all of these resources are FREE! So check out Adore Them’s Tough Times collection today!

Preventing & Dealing with Bug Bites
My kids have had some pretty ugly looking bug bites throughout the summer. But usually they heal themselves up just fine on their own. Below we touch on common bug bites to be aware of and how to prevent them.

Repellents
It is important to read the labels of the bug repellents that you’re buying! According to Consumer Reports, “Products with any one of these active ingredients – deet, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and picaridin – worked well in our tests. And all are safe, even for pregnant women, when used appropriately.” They also make note that you should be wary of “natural” repellents because their claims didn’t always match the findings of Consumer Reports research.
Below are Amazon affiliate links for Consumer Reports top recommended insect repellents:
Ticks
Some ticks are so tiny that you might not notice them until you start displaying symptoms. Try to make checking for ticks a nightly routine so that you can spot them before they cause too many problems. Some symptoms of tickborne diseases can include a rash or red spot near the site of the bite, a rash all over the body, stiff neck, headaches, nausea, achiness or joint pain, fevers, & fatigue. The CDC has some great information regarding ticks here.
Spiders
Spider bites (while icky) are quite common, but there are poisonous spider bites that can be serious. The majority of spider bites leave behind small, itchy spots that heal on their own, but if you are concerned that you may have been bitten by something more concerning you can go to this Healthline site to identify what may have bit you.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can transmit diseases like Malaria, Yellow Fever, West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, and other viruses. Luckily Malaria and other mosquito transmitted diseases are rare, but it is best to avoid mosquito bites as much as possible (even if it’s to avoid the itchy bumps). Stagnant water (like bird baths, kiddie pools, or puddles) can increase mosquitoes so empty anything you can. There are certain types of plants that help to repel mosquitoes, & you can always light citronella candles around the area as well.

New York Baby Show Update
Last weekend I had the honor of representing Adore Them at the 7th Annual New York Baby Show as part of their Media and Blogging Team!
This event featured over 150 vendors, several celebrity guest speakers, and welcomed over 5,000 families! It was a tremendous success, and I really enjoyed being a part of it all.
If you have never attended, I strongly encourage you to check it out next year. Several new amazing businesses launched during the show, and many popular companies debuted their brand new products and designs. It was so exciting to experience all of the excitement, pick up free samples, enter for amazing raffles, and try out all the new gear!
The New York Baby Show is an incredible, very organized, family friendly event. Whether you are pregnant with your first, or have toddlers running around, this is a fun and informative weekend….
