Brrrrr! It's so cold here! We're headed to Disney in a couple weeks for a very short four day trip away, and I am counting the days to warmer weather. I also found out that Alekha may be allergic to cold weather. As ridiculous as that sounds, I was surprised to find out there actually is such a thing - it's called cold urticaria and essentially, she has been breaking out every time she gets prolonged exposure to cold. This is the first year we've seen that happen. We were at the park on a bitingly cold day about a week ago and after ten minutes outside, her face started breaking out in hives. I was racking my brain to figure out what could have caused it as she had never been allergic to anything before. We took her to the doctor and they had us give her Benadryl. It settled back down once she returned to a warm environment but it has happened again, on and off over the past week, always when she goes out into the cold for any short or long period of time. She's sorely disappointed as she had received a sled as one of her Christmas toys and thought she'd never be able to play in cold weather again. I assured her that we may be able to go sledding yet (once we get some real snow) but I am not sure if I need to take her to an allergist or not as her pediatrician said it may be viral. So for now we wait and see! But in the meantime I'm using it as an argument to the husband, that it's yet another reason why we were meant to move to Florida. He doesn't wholly disagree!
Have you seen the lovely January kit at JBS? And the project kit? JBS is now offering a monthly minibook project kit and this month's kit, "Paper Kisses", was designed by Briana. It is chock full of lovely Valentine inspired bits, but I wanted to use it to make a bridal shower gift for my future sister in law, so I ended up going very minimal on the supplies and plan to use the leftovers for valentine crafting! Here are my contributions, and be sure to check out the DT Gallery for more great inspiration!
