In our house though we stock up on the homeopathic remedies and homemade chicken soup ( which I am in the process of cannin/freezing in single size portions). I never thought to stock pile tissues and cough drops though...GREAT IDEA!!! I'm also going to add paper plates and plastic cups to my grocery list for this week and then store them away. DH and oldest DS have what I call the "change of season cold" right now herbal tea ( peppermint or Yogi brand cold season tea have been working wonders for them) and I know it is n't long before it runs its course through all of us. Time to stock up on ecchinecea and orange juice!! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117990236743441616.post-75245818110714444842008-09-24T03:07:00.000-05:002008-09-24T03:07:00.000-05:00What a great post!

I haven't even really thought about winter colds yet, I'm still grabbing on to the last bits of summer sunshine while I can! <BR/><BR/>A great list to bear in mind for when they come along though, my mum always recommends echinacea (I think that's how you spell it) it's a plant extract. She always used to spike our drinks with it as kids to keep the colds at bay but it tasted so disgusting! I think you can get it in less-offensive pastilles nowadays!Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11662846943637186851noreply@blogger.com
