Happy May 1st, Friends!
Where did April go? I feel like I say this every month, but time is truly being stolen from me lately. Although my whole house has been sick this past week, so summer can definitely start to settle in as far as I’m concerned. It started with Little Miss on Saturday, and then by Tuesday I was out for the count and my hubby came down with it on Wednesday. I’m sick of being sick so many times already this year! Any remedies you use to ward off sickness in your house? Please do share them with me!
In other (much more fun) news, I had the awesome opportunity to be interviewed by the wonderful Kirsten from Indebted and in Debt as part of her Interview with a Mom series. I share a lot of background on my family, the story of how I decided that I wanted to become a work-from-home Mom, as well as some advice I have for other Moms who are interested in staying at home with their babies too! Kirsten asked some really insightful questions and I had a lot of fun participating in her series. You can find the interview here. Definitely head on over and check it out and feel free to peruse the rest of her site as well, I hope you enjoy her blog as much as I do!

Hope you guys are all back to 100% now. I’ve been down with something (tummy and head, ugh) for the past couple of days. I’d come online for a few minutes at a time, then I’d go back to sleep. Man, I’m hungry! Okay, I’m off to Kirsten’s site! YAY! I love it when one of my favorite sites guests or interviews one of my favorite bloggers! 😀 Race you there! 🙂
Thanks Kay! We are starting to be on the mend, finally :). Ugh hope you are feeling better too!
Ugh being sick sucks. I’ve been sick a few times this year and it wasn’t fun. This weekend is a pretty packed weekend with a date night tonight, having friends over Saturday, and going to another friends house Sunday. Not to mention a practice GMAT Saturday morning :0
Very fun! Sounds like you had a great weekend 🙂
Get well soon C. Whenever I feel like I am coming down with something, I usually take Airborne right away and it really helps. But when I am sick sick, I take Nyquil and when I wake up, the world is usually a better place. 😉 Did I just endorse two brands?
Thanks for the suggestions Marvin, I think I need to try some Airborne! 🙂
Hope you all feel better soon! I don’t really get sick often but man, my husband used to! He would manage to catch a severe cold about every six weeks. It was incredible! Even though he eats balanced meals and takes a multivitamin, we used to go through DayQuil and NyQuil super regularly in our household. But! A few months ago I read about Zinc being an awesome immune builder, more than vitamin c even, and we’ve both started taking it daily. I’m happy to report no sickness in the last 8 months! Maybe it’ll work for y’all!
We have been sick A LOT, too. I think it just happens with babies around – they are germ factories 😉 Cute ones. I think I’m currently on my second bout of mono this year. Not a good thing. But I hope your entire household is much better and stays healthy for a long time.
Thanks for participating in the interview. You were awesome 🙂
Haha very cute, but alas, germ factories ;). Oh no, that’s awful! I had mono in high school, not fun at all. I hope you feel better soon!
Congrats on the interview, friend! I complained all last week about the 90-something-degree weather, but I think I’m ready for summer too!
Thanks so much Daisy!
I hope you’re feeling better! I love your story and you know it’s similar to mine. I remember it being absolutely terrifying for both of us. We’ve both come a long way! 🙂
Thanks Sara! We are starting to be on the mend. I’m still not 100%, but at least the babe is so that’s all that matters! We really have come a long way, and I’m super thankful for it 🙂
Can’t wait to check out the interview! Hope you had a great weekend!
Thanks Kelly!
