My family has been pretty healthy this winter {KNOCK ON WOOD}, which makes me leery of what is around the corner. For some reason, late winter/early spring is hard on our immune systems and somebody always gets sick. I thought I should start preparing.

Below are 5 Homemade Cold and Flu Remedies that I hope none of us will ever have to use, but sadly, probably will eventually.

I need to get on it because as I’m typing this, my throat is getting scratching…NOOOOOO!

(And as a post script, as soon as I wrote this post, myself and one of my kids got sick. #karma)
