Summary

We’re finally talking about it, y’all -- how to Lazy Genius sickness. I’m chatting about the essentials that keep us mostly sane while we’re battling it out with germs and cranky kids. And I know what I’m talking about. Our family went through it in the first couple of months of 2019 with two bouts of the stomach bug, the flu, sinus infections, a cold that wouldn’t end… it was rough. The steps I share in this episode made it far less horrible for us, and I hope they do the same for you. Stuff Mentioned My favorite kids gummy vitamins and probiotic gummies. My Sick Kit is made up of: Clorox wipes, grocery bags, a bucket, good tissues, Zycam, and a clipboard for homework or coloring. Some older blog posts that you may not know about: How to Use Trello to Track Your Reading, The Lazy Genius Guide to Food Prep, and When You’re Not Excited About Having a Baby. Follow me on Instagram @thelazygenius. I hang out over there live every Thursday around 12:!5 pm EST. Sign up to receive the Latest Lazy Letter. The next one goes out next week!
