Some of you may be aware that I blog at Living the Allergic Life about my daughter's journey of living with food allergies. Since birth, she's been allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. She's eight now and we thank the Lord for protecting her all these years. Although, she has had some pretty scary allergic reactions, none have yet required the use of her EpiPens.
Food allergies can be fatal and that's why it's so important to me to find ways of making people aware of my daughter's allergies, especially when it involves food. I've bought so many awareness things over the years including stickers, pins, etc. and they've all been very helpful. As she has gotten older, I've been looking for a good way to keep that awareness going without making her wear a sticker and drawing attention to herself that would make her feel even more different from the other kids. I just hadn't found a good solution until a couple of weeks ago.
My cousin in Maryland came across someone {maybe the founder?} of a company called "Allerbling" while she was out shopping one day. The lady gave her this bracelet...
I saw a picture of it and thought "What a genius idea!". Well, long story short, she mailed it to my daughter and we received it today. I cannot tell you how awesome this bracelet is! Read my personal {uncompensated} review of it here.
If you know any children with food allergies, they need this bracelet!! You can buy them here. And please, tell everyone you know about these bracelets! It may save someone's life.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm linking this up with a few of these friends.
So smart! Love it.
