Sick Days
In our family, we’ve created the tradition of making a poorly bed for someone when they are ill. We make our poorly bed on our couch by bringing down lots of pillows, quilts, blankets and stuffed animals and making a cozy, extra comfortable spot for the patient to recline and recover. I pull up a small table and set up a tray with something pretty to look at, a drink of OJ or tea, a book, pad and pencils – anything that a person could want. The point of this is to make your child comfortable and relaxed. When my kids get sick, they snuggle up in this mountain of softness & comfort to read and watch TV – what could be better?
When feeling sick - this warm and cozy setting makes a child feel special.
Thoughtful treats like Jello and flowers can make even the most unpleasant cold more bearable.

I wish my sick days growing up looked this elegant and stylish! Love the details in the stuffed animal.
Do you make them yourself?
I’d like to make similar ones to post on our site: http://www.thefinaltouchideas.blogspot.com/

Krystle, Thanks! That little bunny is about 40 years old – it was my husband’s when he was young! My kids love it even more for this reason – I wish I made it! Thanks for your kind words. Take Care, Camilla
