Saturday Sleep Tip

When kids are sick make sure they get enough sleep and rest, so they recover quickly. 

Some tips I just read in Parents magazine to try to limit sickness spreading: 
WASH YOUR HANDS!! again and again; make the kitchen off limits for the sick child/children; switch to hot water on laundry day; "cut down on cuddles", don't let your kids share with each other (things that will spread sickness); clean bathrooms, faucets, handles, doorknobs (may want to try using vinegar and water as a non-toxic cleaner- my tip); clean kids toys when sickness has ended (The suggested "Dr. Tierno's  bug-fighting routine: clean toys with peroxide or white vinegar, wash them with soap and hot water, then rinse in peroxide or vinegar."

They also highlighted "3 Germ Hot Spots": Grocer cart handles, playground equipment, your kitchen sink
