We have gone from summer to back-to-school-germ season overnight and the germs are chewing into my happy summer memories.

I decided to be proactive about my health this year and consulted some good witches who recommended I start adding drops of Echinacea into my water and the waters of our entire family, I guess in case I started glowing, they would be glowing too and it would be less obvious.

Two days worth of the healing potion and I have developed one of the worst colds of my life.

A curse from the witches—I get it.

One of the kids asked me, “Hey Mom, can I put some of that Eukanuba in my water so I don’t get a cold?”

Sure honey. I think that might be dog food but likely equally as effective.
