Last week I didn't participate in WFMW because I had the joy of participating in a violent stomach virus that has been making the rounds in our area. So fun. Not.Here's what worked for me last week: Gatorade ice chips. Laurel was so sweet to remind me "sips not gulps," as it is SO important to replenish your fluids when you are dehydrated due to, well, you know. But there are times when even sips aren't feasible. It's moments like that when "ice chips, not sips" are best. And sports drinks are better at replacing electrolytes than water, as water tends to dilute the salts inside the body's cells. My sweet husband froze Gatorade (Or Powerade. Something blue. :) in zip-loc bags so it would freeze more quickly, and so it would be easy to make into little ice chips. Perfect! Oh, how it worked for me!
I've still got some in the freezer, praying no one else in this house will need them...

Oooo...I LIKE that! I'll remember that the next time my little ones get sick! And, btw, you have a beautiful web design!
Thanks for the tip! I never thought of this! I'm freezing some right now because the stomach flu and Norwalk disease (the one that wipes out all of the cruise ships) are going around our area. I'll be happy to have this little deal on hand. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! Hope no one else has to use the leftover ones.
AWESOME IDEA!!!
I just hope I remember it ..... I also hope I don't NEED to remember it anytime soon!!
:)
LOVE this tip! And my husband is a Gatorade fanatic so we always have this on hand.
Your kids might like the Pedialyte posicles too!
PS
The quote from Proverbs that you posted on your other blog really hit home with me today...Thanks.
