And you bring up a good point. I think a lot of people are trying to limit their exposure. I recently tried out the Meijer Grocery Express (http://www.meijergroceryexpress.com/) option near my work. This is a program where you can select groceries online, and they do all of the shopping for you. (Which is a totally awesome feature, when you have no time to shop!) When I picked up my groceries, the attendant explained that the program was really picking up in use. She said a lot of people were using the program because they had sick kids at home or they simply wanted to limit their exposure. Thank you Brian!

My family is considering a few less Saturday trips to the mall during flu season to avoid exposure ... and a few extra dollars in the hand sanitizer budget this winter (although we won't substitute sanitizer for hand washing as the latter is more effective). ps. congratulations on your new baby!

We're also putting a lot of hope in keeping hands clean. From packing small bottles of hand sanitizer in lunch boxes and purses to attaching them to backpacks, we're always trying to clean our hands before we eat. Thanks for the tips!

It's tricky with a three-year-old, but I've found if I bribe her with lotion it works. She loves putting on lotion, so I let her pick out a different scent each time she washes her hands and it makes it more fun.
