Disclosure: I have partnered with Life of Dad and Fisherman’s Friend for this promotion.

Last year we had snowstorm after snowstorm and with this year’s Winter hitting hard later on I thought I might be safe from a tough Winter. But right after Phil made his prediction of an early Spring Winter turned around and said, “No Way!” Winter then came out of its burrow and started burying us. I fired up the snowblower, our neighbor’s, and started removing a bunch of the white stuff all while enjoying a Fisherman’s Friend Throat Lozenge.

We’ve also had a few Snow Days because of the snow. The first one was last Friday. That snow was heavy and it took down branches and wires but not me. I was out there moving the snow again and also playing hard with the kids. We made our first family snowman together. I pushed the snow around to make a huge base for the snowman and then I also made the middle part. I lifted up the half snow, half leaves torso while Allison took my photos. I thought that with all my working out and strength gains I would have been able to lift that giant snowball right on up. Well, I didn’t lift it right on up.

I struggled.

But I did lift it in the end.

Mostly because I dropped the thing and it split in half, much easier to lift after that.

What our snowman lacked in looks he made up in toughness and personality. Toughness is what Fisherman’s Friend is all about and at the same time they soothe a cold, sore throat and constant cough. This was the first time I had actually tried Fisherman’s Friend. I have had a dry cough on a daily basis for weeks. That is related to some new meds. I was happy to see that when I tried the Fisherman’s Friend Sugar-Free Cherry throat lozenges I had very quick relief. I had just been toughing it out and coughing over and over until my cough went from dry to wet and then abated. Relief came much quicker with Fisherman’s friend and I carried a package with me ever since.

Some additional details about Fisherman’s Friend.

Real Strong Relief
In 1865, pharmacist James Lofthouse took notice of an increasing need for sailors venturing to the North Atlantic to have powerful relief from the cough and cold symptoms they were experiencing. Thus, Fisherman’s Friend lozenges were born.

The Fisherman’s Friend lozenges that you get today are the original, strong lozenge product for the natural relief of coughs and colds that really work every time!
• Provides strong relief for those strong enough to handle it
• No GMOs & gluten free
• Quick relief of sore throats, coughs and congestion at a great value

You may have seen two separate packages in my photos. That is because there are two varieties of Fisherman’s Friend Throat Lozenges.

Despite Phil’s wake up of Winter with his early Spring prediction, I’ll be able to tough out the rest of the Snow Days with Fisherman’s Friend.
