I live in the midwest area, and the two of us saw our first snowfall for the winter season. I love the Fall weather, and it was almost 75 degrees last year, but now the two of us are getting snow. I assume it was bound to happen as winter is only a few weeks away. I don’t mind the winter, as I do love seeing the fresh snow on the grass each year. The kids love it as well and they love building snowmen and creating snow angels in the snow. Sledding is also another fun interest that the two of us love to do. The only thing I don’t like about winter is that my kids constantly end up getting sick during this time of year. When they get sick, I try to use natural remedies instead of cough medicine and cold pills. Their number one remedy is usually the tepid toddy that I make every year. If you do not know, a tepid toddy is made from tepid water, bourbon, honey, lemon, and a cinnamon stick. Of course, I don’t add the bourbon to their drink, but instead I add a bit of plum cider vinegar. My hubby usually buys raw honey from a local farmers market and that raw honey is usually the best. It has no preservatives or additives, it comes straight from a beekeeper and right to the market. While the raw honey is a bit more high-priced than the kind of honey you would find in the grocery store, I like it much better, especially because I am using it for my kids. After a couple of afternoons of drinking the tepid toddy with the raw honey, the kids consistently make a full recovery.
