Under Armour – I play soccer outdoors in Seattle all year round and any one who knows me knows, if I don’t have my under armour I’m not going outside. Best think ever! And, you should try their summer gear!

If you are going to take your girls in the snow, put plastic shopping bags under their socks. Trust me, if their feet get wet AND cold, they are toast.

If all this isn’t enough, get some hand warmer things and put one pair in your shoes/boots, one pair between the glove layers, and one pair in your innermost pants pockets to help preserve both core and extremity temperatures.

If you plan to go the chapstick-as-facial-protection route, grab yourself some Eucerin original lotion for any other exposed skin. It’s thick, but it is exactly what your skin needs for the weather.

I wrote this once already, and it sounded much nicer the first time, but WordPress ate my comment. It’s not as pretty this time, but all the info is still there.

I agree with the heavy socks, lip balm and good hat. Hat that covers your ears! Make sure the kids have covered ears because of infections. And you’ll still need your sunglasses because the light bounces off the snow and makes it brighter.

Search for Wigwam Husky Crew Sock for the heavy wool socks.

We went north in Dec. for 2 weeks and the kids played in only 1 inch of snow just so they could touch it.
