Surviving Cold Season Tips

 

Normally Carsyn has a cold almost every other week during the winter, and usually he ends up in the hospital about two times each winter with breathing problems stemming from the cold. This winter I wanted to change that. Here are a few surviving cold season tips that we have been doing this winter.

Surviving Cold Season Tips

Drink plenty of water & eat healthy. You need to make sure you are fueling your body with healthy food not junk. Drinking plenty of water keeps you hydrated and healthy.

Take Elderberry Syrup daily. This is a new one we started doing. It has a lot of great health benefits and you can double your dose when you are sick to help you get over it more quickly.

Enjoy a cup of hot tea with local honey & lemon. When I do have a stuffy nose and sore throat this always helps me to feel better. Plus it warms you up on those cold winter days.

Always make sure to wash your hands after sneezing or blowing your nose to make sure you do not spread germs.

Stock up on Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissue. It is always good to have these on hand before the cold hits. You don’t want to have to run to the store while you aren’t feeling good.

The Kleenex Anti-Viral tissue has three soft layers, including a moisture activated middle layer that kills 99.9% of cold and flu viruses within 15 minutes. Here you can see the blue dot layer with special anti viral formula to kill cold and flu viruses.

A plus for me is they come with BoxTops, the schools that my boys go to collect these.

Another tip on surviving cold season is to shop online for your essentials. Less time in the store means less germs you will come in contact with. I bought the Anti-Viral Kleenex on Walmart.com with Free 2 Day Shipping, they also offer free pickup in select locations.

How are you surviving cold and flu season?

    Water is something I am really trying to work on. Its easy to forget to drink enough when you are not as physically active in the Winter.

    The cold has definitely been extra aggressive this season. We've gone through plenty of Kleenex.

    We just got over a nasty stomach bug. Thankfully, it didn't last too long, but long enough to make us miserable. These are definitely great tips to keep us healthy the rest of the winter!

Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s field trip to the pumpkin patch. His favorite part was feeding the bunny rabbits, he really wants one for a pet. His least favorite part was the corn maze. He ended up going in with his teacher and a few friends, they got lost and had to be rescued. He said he will never go in there again. 🤣

Another one bites the dust, for a total of 4 teeth Another one bites the dust, for a total of 4 teeth before she even turns 6. Craziness. The boys were much later losing their teeth. This one came out at school, so 2 at home and 2 at school so far.

She lost her top tooth this morning while brushing her teeth. All of a sudden she stopped then turned her head and spit the tooth out. I was cracking up. She keeps me on my toes.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
