If you’re a parent, you feel it in their restlessness at bedtime, their dreamy state after school when they come home sweaty, tired, and dirty from an amazing day. If you’re a teacher, you feel it in the classroom – little kids with wiggles all over, daydreaming about vacation, and yes, that sweaty, dirty, rosy cheeked smile after recess. Summer is nearly upon us, and I know many of us are looking forward to the best summer ever in 2017.
We plan to do some traveling, of course, but also I hope to spend a ridiculous amount of time outside in our backyard. We have a large deck, a huge trampoline, and an even more huge love of hosting parties with friends.
While recent weather phenomenon in central and eastern Canada has already made us aware of the need to have an emergency preparedness kit at hand, have you given any thought to what you’ll need to have on hand for all your summer adventures? Parents know that having essential items handy when traveling or simply hosting friends in the back yard is a win! Think of items like sunscreen, bug spray, and extra jackets for your friends and family when they visit.
This summer I’ve partnered with Gold Bond to help remind Canadian parents about treatment after the day of summer fun. When you or your kids encounter pain and itching associated with insect bites, minor skin irritations, scrapes, minor burns, minor cuts, sunburns and dry skin (that’s a long list!) Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream can make all the difference between an evening of whining and tears and a comfortable, sleeping child (and husband, as the case may be!)
For all-over itching, Gold Bond Anti-Itch Lotion provides temporary relief from pain and itching associated with all the ailments listed above too, but gives you wider coverage. Also good to know, Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream and Anti-Itch Lotion is dermatologist tested, steroid-free and fragrance-free!
Known as the quick fix for almost every itch, Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream (MSRP $6.50) and Lotion (MSRP $9.99) both offer fast, temporary anti-itch and pain relief, allowing you and the family to continue all the summer fun! Look for Gold Bond products at mass and drug retailers nationwide!
I’m going to have to pick this up. We spend a ton of time in our backyard, playing, sitting in the gazebo, and swimming!
I have never used gold bond it sounds like great stuff to keep handy thanks
I’ve always thought of “Gold Bond” as an “old person thing” – but I’m all for whatever works!
I have yet to try Gold Bond!
This sounds great, I have never tried the creams but do use the powder and love it, I will have to give the cream a try now!!
Great product to have on hand for those itchy mosquito bites that are bound to happen!
There may be no better feeling than scratching an itch, but you reach a point where you just want it to stop.
Gold Bond is great for insect bites and all those little summer problems.
Thanks for the reminders we never go to the cottage without Gold Bond Anti-Itch Lotion .
So many benefits to these products! I have the gold bond foot cream and it does wonders for me. I will have to stock up on these items <3
My kids and I always react badly to bug bites. I will have to keep some of this on hand.
Awww…this sounds so soothing for those summer itches and sun burns.I must check it out.Thanks for the awesome post.
We’ve never tried Gold Bond products but will be definitely checking them out for this summer!
I have use the Gold Bond moisturizers and perfect products to have around for the summer season.
We are spending the summer camping and enjoying as much time outside as possible. Have not tried Gold Bond but I will pick some up to try it out!
I need this lotion. It sounds amazing!!!
Any household with allergies could really benefit from having Gold Bond anti itch cream & lotion on hand.
I am having my grandkids visit for most of the summer so these Gold Bond products sound like a couple of must-haves to me.
I’ve never tried this out but it does sound like Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Lotion or the Cream would be a huge help with mosquito bites.
I’ve never tried Gold Bond but will definitely keep an eye out for it. We’re always having skin trauma of one sort or another during the summers.
I love goldbond products! Their itch cream is perfect for bug bites
This year being Canada’s 150th, we will be spending more time outdoors, so I’ll have to buy some of this. I’ve used anti-itching cream before. On a visit to Cuba, I was attached by sand fleas, and anti-itch lotion did provide a lot of relief.
a great brand to know about, I think I saw it on the shelves at Shoppers!
this stuff works awesome , i have i one hand all the time , i love it
We just got our first batch of mosquito bites for the season. This would have been helpful to have on hand.
I was just looking for something like this. I forgot about Goldbond. Thanks for the reminder.
Always have had GoldBond on hand! Great tips!
Sounds like a useful lotion to have around, especially in the summertime!
Ooo I would really benefit from having this on hand!
