You didn't know this BUT.....

.... I used to be a smoker. We never smoked in the house or around our child and I quit while I was pregnant. However I had managed to start the bad habit up again.
I am proud to announce that I have been CIGARRETTE FREE FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!


On another note I am starting to get a cold, I can feel it coming on, do any of you have any suggestions on what I could start taking now to make it so that it wont get so bad?????

Thanks ladies, you are the best!

Zicam - Run to the store NOW and get started. You're supposed to take it when you feel a cold coming on. There are different varieties - nasal, mouth spray. It always seems to help me. (Don't take on an empty stomach - read the directions) Good luck and way to go on the quitting smoking. I hear thats a tough thing to quit!

Sounds like you have made a lot of difficult and healthy changes this year - way to go!

Hope you are feeling better soon. We swear by Coldees here.

P.S. - Can you do me a big favor and update your link for my photography blog? Thanks darlin! :)

my sis in law swears by airbourne...I think a teacher developed it (maybe that's just a rumor). anyhow, I've never tried it myself but that's the only suggestion I could come up with. Congrats on the week without a cig. Good luck with the cold.

Oil of Oregano - the best brand that my husband and I have found is Oreganol (found at any health food stores.) It tastes quite nasty and strong...but it works! Put 2/3 drops in juice 3 times a day. It's best to keep doing that even after the cold symptoms are gone for a couple days to wipe out anything that may be "hiding." We use this every time a cold comes on and it works if you start right away! we even put some in a sippy cup with juice for Isaac when he starts to get sick - he says he likes the taste.
Ok, long post and I haven't even written to you before (maybe once a long time ago) but I do check out your blog alot and just thought I'd share my wisdom with your question about the cold!

Hope you are better soon!

Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar.

A friend gave me some and said to take it right away in the morning if I feel a cold coming on...said it'll be gone by noon.

It's true.

2-4tbsp with a full glass of water. Oh, and plug your nose. Nasty!
