Moms, Don’t Let Your Health Slide During Back To School
This is a sponsored post for Nature’s Bounty®. All opinions are 100% my own.
If you’re like me, you’re getting ready for back to school. Whether you’re homeschooling or sending your kids to a traditional school, this is an exciting time of the year. The middle of August through the middle of September signals the end of summer. For some moms, this can be a sad time or a time of mixed emotions. For me, it’s a very happy time! By the time summer is over, my kids are ready to go back to school and see all of their friends. It’s not until October rolls around that they are sick of school again. Usually after that first report card and the ‘new’ of the school year has worn off.
The hustle and bustle of getting the kids settled back into their routine can really take a toll on a mom’s stress level. This is the main reason it is important to keep up with your healthy routines. The best way to be a health champion, is to eat healthy and keep taking any vitamins or supplements you have been taking. I have been taking Biotin and Cranberry pills for many years.
I headed to the store to pick up my Biotin and Cranberry supplements that my mother recommended I take many years ago. I never miss taking them. Even when I go on vacation or a business trip, my supplements are packed, safe and snug, in my luggage. It just so happened, the day I went to pick up my supplements, they were on sale! SCORE! I’m always excited when my daily essentials are on sale, especially this day when they were buy 1 get 1 free. Oh yeah, this was going to be a great day. Keep in mind, the prices will vary depending on the store and area of the country.

You nailed it. I always end up getting sick in October from the kids bringing home germs.
Great tips! I find vitamins so important and I do not go a day without them.
Such a true post! When you take care of others it’s easy to let your own health slide
This is not a risk for me – no young ones, but great information here!
I need to start taking vitamins again. I haven’t taken them in a while.
I love taking biotin as it also keeps my hair, skin and nails looking great 🙂
You’re right, we should always take care of our bodies. These supplements are interesting.
Didn’t realize cranberry was good for stress, thanks for the tip.
I take supplements, too. It’s important that we do because we don’t always get the nutrients we need form the food we eat.
Yes, this time of year is so busy for me, til about mid-September until we get into the swing of things with homeschooling. I already have my Vitamin D, Fish Oil and B12 vitamins, now I gotta go get more Vitamin C. Nature’s Bounty is the best brand in my opinion and where I shop they tend to be B1G1 free 🙂
Such good ways to stay healthy during the fall, I feel like everyone inevitably gets a cold this time of year because of all the craziness!

Thank you for the coupon! I need to get some vitamin D. With my life right now I kept forgetting to get more. Had lab work done and it is really low again.
The Cranberry supplements sounds great. I get quite a bit of UTI’s and cranberry is great for that!
That’s a great brand that I use all the time because of the constant deals. I don’t take those two things, but maybe I should be!
I actualize this brand too!! I try to do my best and take care of myself and take my vitamins every day
Great tips and piece of advice. Thanks fore this!
Yep, mama’s gotta take care of herself too!
This is so important. Great brand with great products! Thanks!
Hehehe back to school time is always the time of year I can get back on my health grind! Kiddo is at school and snacking isn’t right in front of me all day lol
Thank you for sharing this post and for this coupon.
I always keep cranberry in the house, more useful for various health problems than most think.
good ideas the kids seem to go to school healthy and come back germy Which is so annoying (and sad)
Great advice even for those whose little ones are now grown. I am going to incorporate these into my regimen! Thanks!
Thank you for the information. I get a little sad when my kids go back to school.
This is great idea. My husband works at K-8 School and always brings the illness of the month home to me.
This is so true moms need to take care of themselves too. It is important for everyone to take care of themselves.
I take daily vitamins, but haven’t tried the ones you mentioned.
I actually hadn’t heard about Biotin, until now. This is definitely something I could definitely use! My hair has started falling out by the handful…and I believe Biotin could bring my hair back to it’s natural state!!!
Ive slacked off on taking Vitamins but I definitely shouldn’t. I have not tried Biotin and Cranberry no better time to start than now. (Shopping Trip)
The only vitamins I take is vitamin D, my doctor prescribed it.
I have been slacking off on not taking any vitamin’s but I will be taking some soon.
Such great advice for the moms. We always seem to forget about ourselves, we are so busy taking care of everyone else. It is nice to be reminded that we are just as important as the next person.
Biotin is something I need to look into incorporating into my daily vitamins. I already take Cranberry. Thank you for the info and the coupon.
Great tips, it’s so important to look after your health!
Thank you for this post, these sound like great vitamins to take.
I take my fish oil and cranberry supplements every day too. I love when they are on sale for 2 for 1. It can save you a lot of money.
It’s scary how easy it is to let being busy wreck your healthy eating!
I take both biotin and cranberry tablets daily. My kids are grown with families of their own.
I will pass this on to my siblings!
Useful tips on health management! Thank you so much!
Great tips!
This is right on point. I always get sick when the kids go back thanks for the reminder
Thanks for the info on Biotin and Cranberry supplements! I had no idea about them and their great benefits! I might just have to go out and get some, they definitely sound like they would be good for me, too.
Moms need to make taking care of themselves a priority. Can’t help others if you get sick.
I should add Cranberry to my vitamin routine.
So right on…to be a good Mom & keep on track you have to stay healthy. Take care of yourself!
It does get harder once school starts! I try to stay focused on only buying healthy food and keeping it prepped for quick snacks!
I have heard great things about these pills, thank you for sharing this with us.
I am so bad about making sure my daughter has everything, but neglecting to take care of myself. Sometimes I will go all day and then realize I haven’t really eaten anything substantial! Thanks for the reminder.
I need to be better about taking supplements. I know that taking cranberry supplements helps prevent UTIs.
I used biotin after my surgery. My hair was falling out. They said that happens after a big surgery sometimes and recommended I use it. I was surprised that it actually works!!!
I wish I had done a better job with vitamins for both my kids and myself when they were growing up. But I suppose it’s never too late to take care of yourself. 🙂
Can I have that watermelon? Got lots of vitamins in it…
You won’t believe this but I am allergic to Biotin which is unfortunate since I actually need it. Cranberry on the other hand, I am not! I keep a supply of it at the house and take it daily due to problems that I have had over the years. This is a great product not only for the bladder (and things of the like) but it also provides a boost of Vitamin C. Great choices for your daily regimen, thank you for sharing!
I use Melatonin too to help me sleep! Love Nature’s Bounty products, especially their B-12 melting tablets in cherry flavor.
My kids are in public school and just this week 2 of them came home sick. I need to stay healthy!
I need to start taking Biotin again. i stopped a few years ago but reading your post has me thinking I need to start up again.
It’s so easy for moms to let their own health slide when they are busy taking care of everyone else. I finally starting taking care of myself again this year and it is amazing!
