Happy New Year!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  My whole house got the flu.  Myself and my son had it before Christmas and my hubby got it after.  Blech!  We still managed to have an awesome Christmas.

My brother, who is in the Navy, and his wife and two girls were able to make it to my parents' home for Christmas Day.  My sister and all three of her boys were also there.  It was SO nice.

It was the first Christmas my son, who just turned three, kinda knew what was going on.  He is still telling people that Santa is "going to come to my house."  I tell him, "yes, next Christmas."

I didn't ask for any gifts because I was blessed to win a Silhouette, I know right!  It arrived right after Christmas.  Due to all the sickness, I haven't been able to play with it yet.  I'm so excited to be able to craft with it and look forward to doing some tutorials this year.

If you are sick with the flu or cold, here are some ideas to get you through it:  All were found via Pinterest.  You can follow me there by clicking HERE.

This is Fire Cider.  It consists of very hot peppers, ginger, garlic, onion, apple cider vinegar and other ingredients.  You can find the recipe HERE at Dotal Anecdotes:  Life as a Wife.  It is a home remedy and preventative for colds, etc.  You have to make this and let it sit for several weeks, so you won't be able to actually use this today.

Now, this:

This is a Paleo and Holistic Cold Remedy that you can find HERE and is by Easy Peasy.  This is a very popular pin on Pinterest.  Plus it's got ingredients everyone usually has on hand:  honey and cinnamon.

 This one also uses simple ingredients you should already have on-hand.  It is called Maggie's Cough Remedy and can be found HERE.  It is brought to us by Good Food Matters.

So, fix up one or more of these remedies, drink lots of water, eat some chicken soup and feel better!
