Kids have colds. I’m telling myself my symptoms are allergies. Yep. Allergies. And weeks like this make us turn to creature comforts.

1. Purring, snuggling cat
2. Good books
3. Or good stories on Reading Rainbow if you cough too much to read out loud
4. Throat Coat tea, possibly the most soothing beverage ever invented
5. Blankies
6. Especially blankies that are quilts made by family members
7. warm socks; Fleece Feet are my favorites
8. soup
9. beautiful sunrises
10. the soothing sound of rain falling
