Cold season is officially upon us, which means we’re taking extra steps to support our bodies! As soon as someone feels a hint of a scratchy throat, runny nose, or extra sneezes and sniffles, I break out the elderberry syrup. Most of the kids agree that it tastes pretty good, and only one of them...
