Mittens – Winter Essentials

It’s that time of year once again, – time to dig out all your winter woolies … thick sweaters, scarves and of course your favorite mittens for winter. There’s nothing worse than being out and about in the snow and ice, all wrapped up but for your hands. There’s something about wearing winter gloves that makes all the difference in the world.

I’ve used a pair on insulated woolen gloves for a long time, a true mitten in every sense. All that’s missing from mine is that piece of string that connects one to the other, via the sleeves of my coat! Truth be told I’m way too old for that kind of thing but no matter, it still makes me smile when I think back to my childhood, boots on feet, mittens on hands (and just about anything else my mom could think of to keep me warm!) and a whole world of snow right outside the front door.

As an adult I’m more likely to be outside clearing snow from the path than I am playing in it but that doesn’t mean that I don’t need a good pair of gloves on my hands. I also have a dog to walk, and my children don’t care how old I am when it comes to taking them out on their sled! I can’t recommend enough about making sure you have a great pair of mittens for winter, more so if you work or spend a good portion of your day outdoors. Trust me … there can’t be anything worse that frostbitten fingers!
