FLONASE® compensated me in connection with statements made in this post.
Do you have a good relationship with your kids? Most parents would probably say yes, but how do you know for sure? Asking my kids this one question has helped us to connect in ways I could never have anticipated. The one question I ask my kids is this:
What can I do to be a better parent?
Their answers almost always surprise me. Many times, they mention very small things that are a big deal to them. One year, my youngest said that she would love it if I spent more time playing outdoors with her. In the past, seasonal allergies kept me from spending lots of time outside. We live in a valley and the pollen tends to swirl around. It was never long before my eyes would get itchy and watery. Many times, allergy medications would make me feel drowsy. If I was going to spend more time outdoors with my kids, the first step would be to find an allergy remedy that works well for me. 
Learning to Seize the Moment
Everything changed the end of last spring when a friend of mine told me about FLONASE® Allergy Relief. She said it was the only allergy medicine that worked for her when she used to live in Texas. Since it is available without a prescription, I decided to give it a try. I’m happy to report that it helped me enjoy the outdoors with fewer allergy symptoms than ever before! Consistency is key. The nasal spray provides relief from irritants and it’s most effective with long term use. This time of year, I’m grateful for FLONASE® to help me take control of my seasonal allergies so I don’t miss any precious moments outdoors with my kids! Oh did you know that FLONASE® also has Children’s Allergy Relief for kids (age 4 and older)? More fun for the family! 
Here are some of our all-time favorite ways to seize the moment and play outdoors together:
- Make mega bubbles — fun for kids of all ages!
- Paint with diy sidewalk chalk paint — release your inner artist!
- Build and fly our own kites — lots of active playtime fun.
- Make an outdoor obstacle course — burn off some extra energy!
- Build a fairy garden — lots of great learning opportunities with nature.

I like to take them to different outside events like festivals and the zoo since I don’t get to see them often
My favorite times with my kids outdoors were our trips to the beach. They had so much fun playing in the sand and waves.

I do not have kids but I do have children of choice, fur babies. My 3 cats don’t all like to go outside but Oats loves to go for walks on her leash. 😀 She will roll around on the deck and just purr and meow in happiness. Hope my answer is OK! 😀
