With the snow that’s pounding down on much of the country lately, you and your little ones have likely been outside in your snow-gear quite a bit lately. According to the weather man, this is not likely to change anytime soon, so you might want to add IDEAL Mini Sno-Markers by Alex Brands to your cold-weather arsenal. These fun snow “markers” come in sets of 5 colors that you just add water to in order for them to work. Add color, water, shake, and you are ready to create your snow-masterpiece. In personal experiance, you can’t “color” on the snow as with a marker, but it more drizzles out. My son had a great time experimenting with this, making a multi-colored snowman and some “snow-cave” drawings. Cap the markers when you are done and save them for the next storm. It also comes with an extra set of each color packet so you can use them all winter long.

Winter Snow Fun
Need Winter Boots? Quick, Head to Stride Rite!
Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. Please see “Disclose” tab for more info.
We all know that with winter upon us, snow will follow (and for some, it has already started). You don’t want your little ones to be without snow boots when the time comes, so if you haven’t yet, grab a pair. We just got these Merrell Snowbank Waterproof Boots from Stride Rite, and my son says they are super warm.
While we have not had the chance to test them in the snow yet (thankfully) we did try them in the rain, and his feet stayed dry. I also like the way they look- very cute.
A bit more info on the shoes-
“The kid’s Snowbank mixes function and fashion. The elastic cord and lock lacing system offer a secure fit and cool look. This boot is great for winter weather because it features M-Select DRY and M-Select WARM to keep his feet comfy, cozy and away from moisture.”

The Perfect Fall and Winter Boot
Lunsdale II Quilted Jacket
Unfortunately all seasons have to come to an end, and with those ends clothing options change as well. From summer to fall, then fall to winter- jacket and layers are necessities in many parts of the country. In mine it is absolutely necessary. Today we will be looking at a new jacket which is water proof and insulated for the perfect fall into winter jacket, the Lunsdale II Quilted Jacket.
The Lunsdale is built with some interesting technology involved, like the AquaDry Membrane mesh lining. This lining will not only keep you dry but also warm in all kinds of nasty weather. Along with the quilted construction of the jacket you will be comfortable and stylish in this jacket. The jacket also sports 9 pockets including 2 zipped hand warming pockets, 2 studded chest pockets, 1 mobile phone pocket, which can also be used as an mp3 player pocket, 1 Velcro credit card pocket for easy access during bitter cold days and 1 zipped inner pocket for those items you want to keep most safe. The storm flap and narrow inner zip guard help keep unwanted drafts out of the Lunsdale, keeping the jacket where you put it and most importantly wrapped around you.
