Christmas lights ...and sick children !

Hello everyone ...iv been a bit slack on the blogging iv had sick kids now my 3 year old has come down with croup tonight .... steam and if all else  fails put her in the car since its a hot muggy summers night and take her out Christmas light looking like last night iv learnt over the years that bye the time you get to the hospital with them it has eased so normally a drive does it ... ...Tomorrow if all is well we are going to make gingerbread houses so that should be lots of fun it's something we have never done before ;-o  back to Christmas lights there is not many houses with them this year which is sad when the older children were little there would be so many houses with lights it was just beautiful to see and the children would get that excited but anyway we still go in search each year and even if we have to drive 15 km or more in between finding the odd house the kids still enjoy it ..and that's the main thing :-)

  4. Hi there again! I'm studying herbal/natural medicine and one of the things I've learned is that there is a direct correlation between illness and sugar intake. Have you ever noticed how much more frequently our families get sick around holidays? Holidays that are filled with sugar? It's because sugar lowers our immunity to illness and may, in fact, FEED the illness. I used to think it was just the cold/flu season but there you are, in the middle of summer, with your family experiencing the same kinds of sicknesses that we, here in the States, get during the winter...what we have in common are the holidays and the sugar intake. Starting with Halloween and ending with Easter...candy, pie, cookies, cupcakes, and more candy. Isn't that about right? :) I know it's hard to regulate 'em when there are sweets around every corner but try to withhold sugar from your family if you've been exposed to someone with a bug and definitely if anyone in your family gets sick. :) I trust they're all well now? Happy New Year!
