Sometimes you just have to escape

This past week has seen every one of us sick, well except B (lucky bugger!). Fevers, cold sweats, body aches, so congested it was hard to breath at times and just all round miserable!

We all had cabin fever too, so one day this week even though we were all sick, I piled us into the car and headed for the beach.

The older two decided to build some sand art...

 And Ethan, well he just covered himself in sand...

The sun and the fresh air really did us some good, I patted myself on the back for the great idea and we all came home and sleep for about 3 hours.

What do you do to get by when everyone is sick?

Pinterest Linky Love: The Cold and Flu Remedy Edition

So I have been sick since Thursday. I have been feeling sorry for myself and wishing that they was money in the budget to call a ring in nanny, cleaner and cook while I just died quietly for the last few days.

Alas that just doesn't happen!

So instead I went to pinterest for some Cold and Fl remedies to try and get me through the school and kindy run tomorrow morning.

Things I'm Loving

I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and a stuffy nose, that seemed to progress to a fever and body aches as they day went on. Today I have woken up much the same if not worse. But hey, at least my week started out well!

I got actually had some time for sewing and

creating the wall art for Caden's room.

Ethan progressed from only saying cheese in photos to pretending to growl...

Mahli tried her hand at striking a poses.

That girls is certainly not shy around a camera!

And yesterday Caden started football training (Rubgy League for those playing at home) He was so excited about it. I really wish I made it down there to watch him, but instead I stayed home. Hopefully I will get there next week.

Oh and I recently purchased this little beauty for $10!

 It does need some work, but for the time being I am just happy to look at her!

What are you loving this week? 

I am linking up with the lovely Paisley Jade for Things I'm Loving.

My weekend...

Also included in my weekend were salt water gargling {but I had to relearn how to gargle! Who would of thunk it that you could for get how to gargle!} Chicken soup and lots of neurofen.

Monday seen me at the doctors as I was just not getting better and aching from head to toe! I walked out with a script for antibiotics. Lets hope today improves dramatically and all of my 'at home remedies' weren't for nothing!

On another note! I keep forgetting to take photo's of my linen cupboard for the Organised Home Challenge. I will try and get onto that later this week when I hopefully feel remotely alive!

Do you have any sure fire at home remedies for the nastiest throat infection ever???
