Personally, I’m so very happy that cold and flu season is almost over. It’s been a rough one for us, and balancing being a parent and employee is pretty tough when your child is sick every few weeks! Having a sick kiddo is sad and stressful, and it can totally disrupt your routine. Heaven forbid that you also get sick, which adds insult to injury!

I’ve learned that having a few things on hand can help ease the burden. First, I make this Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Noodle Soup, which is so easy and comforting.

Sure, it’s a little different than traditional chicken noodle soup, but the flavors are still mellow and it’s so hearty. This thai chicken noodle soup is perfect for a sick kiddo (or parent! ) I also keep lots of saltine crackers on hand during the winter, because it’s a family favorite.
