    It reminds me of being a child again. I never worried about germ when we played outside in the dirt.

    Almost nothing is more relaxing to me than digging, planting and weeding my garden - with my bare hands. It's a great way to take out my workday frustrations.

    One of my sisters is a self-described "germophobe." She catches virtually every "bug" and virus that comes along - and has skin issues due to the antibacterial and harsh chemicals she uses. On the other hand, my daughter and I purposely refuse to buy or use antibacterial products, use "grandma" cleaning products (read - vinegar, baking soda, borax, etc) whenever possible - and we almost never get sick. For us, a bad cold means we have sniffles for a day or two and that's it. We also don't jump to cold/sinus meds (don't even keep them in the house). I can't help but think that the difference is that our immune systems are allowed to do the job nature intended.
