It's flu season.......

Hello fellow mom's and friends,
I cannot believe this year is just flying by for me !! well its flu season.
Be sure to vaccinate your little ones and your spouse  and yourself. Of course the elderly would definitely benefit from this vaccine.
Today i went to Costco..and the amount of people sneezing and coughing already made me scared.. definitely getting all of us vaccinated this coming week.........
Also as you know the best way to prevent is proper hand washing and use of hand sanitizer, its CDC (deparment of disease control) approved.
Teach your kids going to day care or school the proper technique of hand washing....best way is make them sing " Happy Birthday.." song..and by the time the song is over their hand washing should be done. They will be happy singing the song and you will be happy making sure they cleaned properly. otherwise we know how they wash their hands , at least my little one, he counts one , two  three all done! really? , so i had to taught him to sing !
Also remind them to wash hands after :
  - coming back from play ground
  - before and after eating food
  - after using bathroom / potty
  -if u sneeze / cough
and the list goes on..

Here's the link i am posting for more information..
Be safe with the little ones as the weather has been changing a lot lately..especially this weekend feels like fall already in full bloom..so cold. All my cold accessories are out with extra's in the car for emergencies...haha. Also started to give kids ginger and lemon water..(in a sneaky way) to prevent cough.

Take care
Enjoy
