We all enjoy playing in the snow. It’s the one time adults can let truly their hair down and behave like kids again. Kids live for snow days. As soon as the new school year begins, kids begin daydreaming of snow days and when they can play in the snow. Playing in the snow is a family activity that doesn’t get old until we do.
Check out our five easy ways you can ensure you and your kids can keep your tootsies warm and healthy while enjoying the snow.
- Foot warmers! This is one of the best inventions ever made! Drop one in each of your shoes and they will keep your feet warm for hours. Hand warmers are also available and they work just as well for your hands.
- Wearing layers of socks helps to keep feet and toes warm while playing outside. If you don’t have enough socks, wrapping your feet in layers of newspaper will help keep them warm.
- Keep your feet dry. Wearing water-resistant shoes or boots helps to keep feet dry. If you don’t have shoes or boots that are water-resistant, consider wrapping your socks and shoes in plastic. Small grocery bags, shower caps, or plastic cooking wrap can all help to keep feet dry. Prolonged moisture on shoes and feet can lead to illness so avoid it at all costs.
- Keep an eye on the clock and the temperatures. Based on the temperature, you may need to limit younger children’s time outside. When temperatures drop below freezing, 32 degrees, everyone should consider limiting their playtime to an hour or less. It’s easy to go back inside, warm up, dry out your shoes and socks and then resume your outside play.
- Frostbite and hypothermia are very painful. When you go back indoors, warm up your entire body and pay special attention to your feet and toes. Immediately take off your shoes and socks. Dry your feet and toes. Put warm socks on and wrap your feet in a warm towel or blanket so they can warm up slowly. Take note if your feet are discolored or if they hurt. If the pain or discoloration lasts for an extended amount of time, contact your doctor.

She is an award winning author, the founder of The Jenkins Donelson Foundation, JDF, the creator annual National I LOVE My Feet Day!,and the Health and Wellness site found here, on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, entitled I LOVE My Feet DayS!
Carolyn's interest in feet began in college when she met a young lady who was born without arms. The student used her feet as hands by writing and eating with them. Everyone on campus was very impressed with that students' ability to overcome adversity and the respect and awe she garnered was well deserved. Carolyn earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Education and never forgot the young lady.
Carolyn learned about the importance of good foot care from her mother, who was a diabetic. After Carolyn experienced foot pain she visited a podiatrist and discovered she had fallen arches. Carolyn traced the cause back to wearing flip flops that didn't provide arch support. Years later, after two pinky toe breaks, Carolyn's appreciation and respect for feet deepened and she wrote an ode to feet. In the spring of 2015 a talented illustrator brought her poem to life and Carolyn published My Feet: An Ode, which celebrates the wonderful versatility our feet provide us throughout our lifetime. Publishing My Feet: An Ode led to annual recognition of good foot care and appreciation. It was also the impetus for the Good Foot Care movement.
Carolyn believes our feet tell a story about our lives. She is passionate about promoting good foot care and she is quickly becoming the " Ambassador of Feet". She is a Foot & Shoe Consultant and refers countless people to podiatrists.
Carolyn is also the author of the award winning laugh out loud children's series, The Family Adventures of Princess Ladybug and Princess Ladybird. The series focuses on young siblings who are raised in separate households.
Carolyn wrote two ebooks to help consumers purchase footwear. How To Avoid Killer Boots and buy boots that feel as good as they look! and Irresistible; Rockin' Hot Party Shoes your feet will love!, are how-to books consumers can take with them as they shop for footwear. Full of pictures, footwear tips and good foot tips, these books help ensure consumers will never have footwear problems again.
