Winter brings us hot cocoa, family nights by the fireplace, beautiful snowy scenes, and usually....a winter virus or two. Speaking as a mom, we don't get sick days, and often take care of family that is under the weather, while we are still sick ourselves. Regardless of gender - how often do we have to go to work under the weather and are exhausted when we come home??
Here are some things we can do in advance to make it a bit easier on ourselves. Go ahead - stock up now and hug yourself later!
-Make sure your cold medicines are "in stock" - ibuprofen, cough medicine, kleenex, vitamans and herbs etc. This will save you an extra trip (and energy) out
-Make a few double batches now when you make dinner and freeze them. When you are sick, just pull out the frozen dinners, pop them into the oven to reheat and "voila!" a nice homemade supper. No work on your part!
-Make yourself a pot of homemade vegetable soup with lots of garlic and onion now. Freeze it now, pull it out when needed. Reheat and and noodles
-Stock up on a few "foil" disposable baking dish pans. This way, when you do make a meal, you don't have to soak and clean the pan after you've stood up all that time and made supper. Just throw away pan. You can stock up on some paper plates too if you choose :)
Lastly, relax and enjoy the winter and all the beauty it brings!
