This is my mom’s famous immune boosting wassail that my mom would make every fall season. With immune boosting ingredients, you can feel good about drinking this!
It is no secret that we are getting closer to “Cold and Flu Season”…
There are many reasons why we may get sick more often in the winter (and some may surprise you!)
Less sunlight or time spent outdoors (means less Vitamin D for us)
We eat more sugar which naturally suppresses our immune system
Breathing in less fresh air (possibly spreading more germs in closed buildings)
Whatever the reasons are… I’ll just be over here sipping on some immune boosting wassail in my Christmas cup : )
When I posted on Facebook about my mom’s wassail, I got so many questions about what wassail is – which was surprising since I grew up drinking it during the fall and winter months.read more

We are creatures of habit. We like to be able to predict what is coming next. Babies are no different. When they are learning about the world around them, it gives them security when they can predict and know that an action follows another action.
Routines are great for babies and kids alike. You will have less tantrums from your toddler and preschooler if you stick to a routine. The minute you change things up on them, expect some protest in the form of a tantrum.
Kids in general don’t like to be surprised. That’s why they like the same book or movie over and over. They are learning language and they are learning to be able to predict what is coming next. They find security in being able to know and predict.
Routines are very important at bedtime. This is a time that you are going to leave them alone and they need to know they are safe and secure. How would you feel if you were dropped off and had no idea when your ride was going to pick you up?
Letting your child fall asleep knowing that this is normal and that you will come and get them will help them fall asleep in a safe state.
Establishing a bedtime routine
When should you establish a bedtime routine? As soon as you are able to! Babies are learning from the moment they are born.
If you plan to do a bath time before bed, start it early on. Think about what steps you want to include in your routine. Is it able to be followed away from home? How long does it take to complete the routine?
Aidalyn had a solid bedtime routine in place by 6-8 weeks. We would swaddle her, give her a pacifier, her lovey (Charlie) and turn on her sound machine. She was sleeping through the night in her crib by 8 weeks. This child loves routine though. She never would adapt well when we weren’t at home.
