Happy Tuesday! Since I’m sure we’re all recovering from lots of buying this past weekend, I thought I’d give a shoutout to my favorite lip balm for kids with chapped lips: drugstore favoite Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy.
I use it myself when I have severely chapped lips and want more than my usual nighttime balm — but I LOVE this stuff for my boys.
This will be my fifth winter as a mother, and it now seems inevitable that at some point the following will happen: one or both of my boys will have chapped lips. They will refuse all offers of regular lip balm, instead choosing to lick their lips and the skin around their mouth, resulting in WORSE chapped lips and a red, splotchy, dry rash around the mouth.
So what I do is wait until they’re asleep, and then sneak into their rooms to put this on their lips — it’s got enough of a watery consistency that I can do that without waking them; I even spread it over other dry patches around their mouths. (We’ve never had a problem with goopy, gunky sheets!)
When they wake up they look a thousand times better, and I feel a bit better about my stealth ninja lip balm tactics.
Lots of stores have this awesome balm for around $6, including Amazon, Walmart, and CVS. Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy
2018 Update: We’re adding this product to our CorporetteMoms Hall of Fame because it’s still being sold in stores and we still love it! You can also find it online at Amazon, CVS, Wal-Mart and more!

Ladies, talk me off a ledge. I’m getting worried here when I know this is normal for many pregnant women.
I’m expecting my #2 and have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I have a full assessment and follow-up appointment next week, but what should I expect? Is this something to really get worried about? How have others managed through this? What are things I should know regarding treatment? They tell me I don’t need insulin yet, but should be able to control with diet and increased exercise. (If it helps, I also do have a family history of diabetes, but did not have GD with my first or diabetes beforehand).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Definitely going to get some of this! Glad to hear mine isn’t the only one who licks around his mouth when his lips are chapped and ends up with that horrible rashy looking thing. He’s willing to let me put Chapstick on him, but I can’t follow him throughout the school day and reapply! Can’t wait to try this!
Half whining, half question. At what point in your pregnancy do you start getting credit for just showing up at work and get a pass on your clothing choices? I’m 37.5 weeks w kid #1, have an easy car commute, and getting out of the house to go to work is good for me. But I would be infinitely more comfortable/productive at work over the next 1.5 weeks in yoga pants and sneakers. Plus I have three outfits that fit, are work-appropriate, and don’t involve a super-complex re-layering dance after every bathroom trip, so by Wednesday of each week, I’m out of clothes. My workplace (academia) is the casual side of business casual, especially on non-teaching days. When my pregnancy jeans still were comfortable I wore them happily, but they’re a demi panel and no longer get the job done.
I think I’m especially self-conscious because I know everyone’s looking at me in a way that they wouldn’t if I weren’t carrying a nearly full-term baby, so I don’t want to be a total slob. But maybe I get a pass…thoughts?
