I'm certain you'll see a savings in your heating costs with the digital/programmable thermostat. Our heating bill (we have the equal pay plan, and it re-evaluates after a year) went down $20 a month with our last evaluation, after installing the programmable thermostat.<BR/><BR/>With the baby on solids, we always have Greek yogurt (it's a thicker, slightly more sour, yogurt) in the house.

Barbara, thanks for the reminder. I need to put hand sanitizer back in my purse.<BR/><BR/>Rachel, I've never made homemade yogurt. Hmmm, something to look into. Some times I purchase it in the big tubs. Of late though I've been purchasing it in the small snack size so the children so can eat it with breakfast (makes it easier to take the lids off of six containers instead of preparing six

Great ideas, Michelle :) Do you buy big tubs of yogurt or make it yourself?

Thanks, Michelle -- I took some notes. We up our Vitamin C intake during cold/flu months. The kids can take chewable Vitamin C supplements, or drink O.J., Tang, Kool-Aid -- anything with Vitamin C.<BR/><BR/>We also keep hand sanitizer in the car and use it when we get back in the car after being somewhere -- even Mass. And always wash with soap and water when we get home.

Those are some good ideas! Now I have more motivation for making yogurt! I think I know two little boys that could use hand sanitizer at their desks as well. Time to start with the vitamins and getting out blankets. Thanks for the heads up.<BR/>hugs-jen
