Our Sick House Rules...


One must not be required to change out of night-time attire. Zip-up footed jammies are acceptable, nay encouraged.

One must not be required to entertain oneself without the aid of a certain babysitter of the screened variety.

One must not be required to eat healthy, nutritiously rounded meals (as if that's the norm - *snort*!)

One is permitted to drink a smoothie (pronounced "smoovie" by the under 3 crowd) in place of a meal.

One carries an 'unlimited juice consumption for duration of sickness' card.

Our sick "smoovie" recipe of the day:

  • One banana
  • two scoops chocolate or vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4-1/2 cup peanut butter
  • chocolate syrup (to taste)
  • 1/2 (ish) cup of milk

Blenderize. Serve to sick little one in old plastic restaurant cup with accordion straw that is guaranteed to leak. IMPORTANT!***One MUST taste test at LEAST 1/2 cup or more of "Smoovie" recipe to determine adequate taste mixage and acceptability***

I cannot stress the taste test enough. It is vital for the recipe's success.

  2. So are these the rules just for Bubbaloo, or do they apply to you too when you get sick? I would hope they do!

  5. Too cute! We're facing our third or fourth cold of the season, and I'm a HUGE fan of the screen babysitter during these snotty days. :)

    Thanks for stopping by this week!
