I live in the midwest area, and we recently saw our first snowfall for the wintertime season.
I love the fall weather, in fact, it was almost 73 degrees last month and now we are getting snow.
I think it was bound to happen as wintertime is only a few weeks away. I don’t mind the winter, as I do appreciate seeing the fresh snow on the shrubbery each year. The kids appreciate it as well, they appreciate building snowmen and creating snow angels in the snow. Sledding is also another fun activity that we really like to do. The only thing I don’t appreciate about winter is that my kids always end up getting sick during this time of year. When they get sick, I try to use natural remedies instead of cough medicine. Their favorite one is usually the hot toddy that I make every year. If you don’t know, a hot toddy is made from hot water, bourbon, honey, lemon, and a cinnamon stick. Of course, I don’t add the bourbon to their drink, instead I add a bit of apple cider vinegar. My fiance usually buys raw honey from a local farmers market and that raw honey is usually the best. It has no preservatives or additives, and it comes straight from a beekeeper and right to the market. While the raw honey is a bit more high-priced than the common honey you would find in the grocery store, I appreciate it much more because I am using it for my small kids. After a couple of afternoons of drinking the hot toddy with the raw honey, the kids always make a full recovery.
