hanky panky

it happens all the time (especially now that the school year has started!). our darling, little germ sponges drag some nasty cold home from school, and tissues start flying around faster than throwing death stars in a martial arts b-movie. after you dig yourself out from underneath the pile of used snot holders, take a cue from our forefathers and invest in cloth hankies for the whole family. not only will this keep oodles of tissue paper out of the cycle, but -- believe it or not -- cloth is much softer on raw, little noses.

but, if the possibility of little jenny using a hankie formerly employed by little michael (even if washed... cooties, you know) creates too much of an “ew” factor, i suggest personalizing each family member’s respective snot rag. and this is where they can get into the act, as most craft stores carry cloth pens and such, so let everyone go to town to create their own unique pieces of art!

gezhundheit!
