Moms don’t get sick days. It’s true. A very hard fact to face when sickness strikes your home and you realize it’s only a matter of time before it takes you out too. The responsibilities around the home and endless to do list don’t stop when mom ends up getting sick too. Because moms don’t get sick days getting over sickness quickly and finding fast relief must be at the top of your list.

Being prepared for when sickness does hit (because it’s bound to hit when you raise little germ carriers) is the key to finding relief quickly so that you can overcome and get back on your feet in no time. Do sick differently, instead of running to the store when sickness strikes, be prepared to conquer it at the first sign of cold and flu season.

Because moms don’t get sick days, here is how to be prepared for sickness:

Keep OTC medicine during cold and flu season to attack sickness at it’s first sign. Remember how I said let’s do sick differently and be ready before it hits? Well this is a great way to prepare!

Keep your favorite drinks on hand to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated a big part in making sure that you recover from sickness quickly. Keep some of your electrolyte packed drink choices in the pantry for easy grabbing when cold and flu season hit.

Disinfect and wash all the things. Need to get through cold and flu season fast? Clean everything. At the first sign of sickness wash towels, sheets, and toothbrushes. Make sure water bottles are clean and disinfected. Make sure you wipe down door handles and light switches. Run laundry while you’re resting. Stop the spread of germs and give your body time to fight off the cold and flu by getting rid of the germs left behind.

Because moms don’t get sick days, you have to do sick differently. Get ahead of cold and flu season by being prepared at its first sign. That way, when cold and flu season hit, you’ll be ready to fight it fast…even if you don’t get a sick day.
