This week we're discussing how to take care of yourself when the kids are sick.

We share some of our best tips, from experience, of how we try to make things at least a little more manageable during these life curveballs.

Sometimes it's not even that the conversation is "inappropriate" or anything, but you just don't want to have a side conversation of just explaining the topic to them. On the other hand, sometimes you want to make a conversation more accessible so that they can participate and learn. It's a tough balancing act.
