Wash your hands!

Most of you are well aware this has been a rough week at our house. My first bout of strep in 13 years (I don't even have tonils!!!!!), Jackson's landed another sinus infection and Matt has contracted the flu for the first time in 10 years. Tough week! So, in honor of this, I feel it necessary to share a few good practices in germ control for those of you who can still be saved! Here goes:
- wash your hands frequently
- stay home if you are sick (so you do not spread it to other people)
- cover your nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing (or cough into your elbow)
- use single-use tissues for wiping your nose
- wash your hands after coughing, sneezing or using tissues
- if working with children, have them play with hard surface toys that can be easily cleaned
- do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth (viruses can transfer from your hands and into the body)
- do not share cups, glasses, dishes or cutlery (especially important for families!)

Here's to you- in hopes you keep the germs away longer than we could!
