Back to School Germs

It happens every school year. Moms everywhere are SO excited for school to start. They start making their “to do lists” for all of the things they will accomplish when the kids are at school… and then… one of the kids gets sick… and then sickness passes through every family member in the house! Agh!!!!!!! Germs are everywhere. Suddenly Mom’s “to do list” is longer than ever- disinfect the bathroom, wipe the kitchen counters, change the sheets, buy Lysol!

The #1 thing anyone can do to stay healthy this cold season is to wash hands. We have a rule at our house. When you come in, wash your hands! Whether it is from school, playing in the yard or the grocery store, it is a good habit to get into. Taking vitamins, eating a nutritious diet, getting plenty of sleep each night and having the flu shot are also ways to stay healthy. As we near the end of the first month of school, I hope that you have a healthy fall and winter. Stay well!
