Attire Breakdown

It’s officially cold and flu season and staying healthy is not always the easiest task. With COVID I’ve been more intentional than ever about what I set and the routines in which I have for my family. As a mom, my priority is and has always been to keep my family safe during cold and flu season, and especially during this pandemic. It’s so easy to overlook the small details that are just so important in terms of keeping your family safe. Below, I’m sharing tips on How To Keep Your Family Healthy and Safe.

Staying Active

It’s so important to make sure that your family is staying active. I like to create a workout schedule for my family. You can also include rewards, for example for whoever gets the most steps in each week. You can simply text your workout schedule to each family member or create a command center sharing the information.

Eat Well Balanced Diet

As a busy mom, it’s so easy to not pick the best alternatives for your family. Meal planning has really assisted me with keeping track of what my family eats, and it also ensures that we’re eating a well-balanced meal.

Wash Your Hands!

As simple as it sounds it’s so important to make sure that your family is properly washing their hands in and out of the home. This is a great way to make handwashing at-home fun for the entire family. You guys can sing your favorite song while doing so to pass time. You can also get creative and purchase your family's favorite scents of hand soaps and purchase fun soap dispensers if you have smaller children.

Drink Water

Choosing water is such a better alternative to staying hydrated. This is also another wonderful opportunity to include a reward system for those who drink their drinking goal daily. I’ve found that getting water bottles that your family loves really motivates my family to drink more water. I’ve also noticed that my children drink more water when the water is bottled.

Slept-In

I can honestly say that I got plenty of rest in the month of December which I'm truly thankful for.

Journal

I journaled often, not as much as I would have liked to. However, I did journal and I made it happen. Journaling is such a great way to just clear your mind.

Took Time off When Needed

I took a lot of much-needed time off which I'm truly thankful for.

Immune Boosters for Cold & Flu Season

Kick-Ass Immune is a product that I initially purchased for travel. I loved this product because it could be taken without water. They recently changed the packaging (not sure if they changed the formula) and it now has to be mixed with water which I'm a little disappointed about. I will say that this was my favorite out of all of the immune boosters, and it's really fast-acting.

Herb Pharm Daily Immune Builder 
Herb Pharm Daily Immune Builder is my second favorite. Love the size of the bottle, you could actually fit it in your pocket if needed.  I typically keep this on hand with me. This has to be mixed with water. However, It's super easy to use, and it works.

Effer-C™ Elderberry Packets
I tried the Effer-C™ Elderberry Packets for the first time last year, and I was hooked. They come in Togo packets which are really handy to have on hand, and they're actually great for immune support and energy. I love the flavor of these packets, and they actually don't take that much time to mix.

Emergen-C
I started using Emergen-C almost seven years ago. It's great to keep on hand, especially for the cold and flu season. What I love about this product is that you can pretty much find it at any of your favorite stores, and you only have to mix it with water.
