5 Products That I Can't Live Without When My Kids Get Sick

The Homedics Cool Mist Oscillating Ultrasonic Humidifier ($60, originally $80) is a cool mist humidifier that's quiet, has multiple settings, and features a soft nightlight, making it the perfect choice for my child's bedroom.

It took a while to find the perfect humidifier, and I had two others prior to my mom gifting me this one. The first model, which had a single setting, did nothing for the air quality in my children's room, while the second leaked all over the table on which we had placed it after just a few uses. We've been using this one for almost two years now, and even went ahead and purchased a second one for our own bedroom — it's that good.
