Wintertime is the time of year that you worry most about keeping those little hands warm and cozy, right? However, it can be so hard to keep baby’s hands in baby gloves or mittens; plus, often gloves or mittens aren’t soft and cozy. Handsocks is the perfect solution! Handsocks, otherwise known as happiness for little hands, began when Virginia Mom Casey Burke Bunn forgot to pack mittens and layers for her daughter, she used a pair of ski socks to keep her hands and arms warm….and the idea for Handsocks was born! What started as a way to keep little hands warm without the use of velcro or buttons has turned into something much more. Parents are using Handsocks to protect their newborn from scratching themselves, stop babies and little ones from irritating infant eczema, skin conditions and wounds , plus unexpected casts/ports in the NICU. That’s truly amazing! More than just a glove, Handsocks features a unique mitten base which rolls up the arm to become a sleeve, giving warmth and a perfect fit; the sleeve-like effect keeps the Handsocks on without tightness or using Velcro or straps. No more lost mittens and, the minky-fabric material is like a little blankie your baby can hold from their earliest days.

Wintertime can mean you’re stuck inside a lot more than you’d like to be, so don’t let the overwhelming smell of dirty diapers invade your living space! When it comes to keeping smells at bay, we always turn to the award winning diaper pail from Ubbi. It’s no wonder we listed Ubbi’s diaper pail as a nursery must-have essential. The Ubbi Diaper Pail is made of powder-coated steel to achieve maximum odor control. It is equipped with rubber seals that are strategically designed to lock in odors as well as a sliding lid that minimizes air disruption, keeping the smell inside the pail. Offering a modern and sophisticated twist to a once very industrial product, the sleek Ubbi diaper pail includes a child-proof lock and is available in an array of 13 colors and 5 patterns, so you are sure to find a design which will fit your nursery style. Plus, you don’t have to buy any special bags for the Ubbi, simply use your regular garbage bags. Ubbi comes ready to go right out of the box, and it’s simple, but sturdy, design will prevent it from a child breaking a piece. You can see more about the pail in our Spring Cleaning Baby Must Haves and Gray Nursery Inspiration.

This bright, photo-driven book includes chapters on the benefits of this approach, when and how to get started, essential safety and nutrition guidelines, frequently asked questions, basic fruit and vegetable prep, more complex finger foods, and family meals.
