I’m a bit behind on reading blogs this week but I did find a couple notable posts I wanted to share with you:

One Mom’s Guide to Avoiding Swine Flu Naturally by Stephanie at Keeper of the Home
A subject that has most moms concerned right now is the H1N1 flu as well as all the other ‘nasties’ that seem to be roaming the school halls with our kids. Stephanie gives some common sense advice as well as a few natural tips on keeping healthy and fighting off viruses. Mind you as she says this is ONE MOM’s advice and we don’t all agree on how to best keep our families healthy.

In our home we are attempting to prevent illness by:

• enforcing increased hand washing
• using antibacterial gel in public places where we can’t wash as easily
• instituting earlier bedtimes
• avoiding large public gathering places (the mall playpit being one)
• increasing our vitamin C intake

Hopefully we can all avoid getting sick this winter or at least minimize the effects of any germs we do encounter.
