I didn’t think that by September we would still be dealing with Covid-19 and be somewhat quarantined, but here we are. Because of my age (69) and my husband’s age (66), we have been mostly only leaving home to take our daily walks. There’s so much we can’t control right now, but I have been…
Go ahead and smother your sick kid in kisses–I truly think I’ve discovered the secret (via natural cold remedies!) to not catching their viruses.
