Here’s why and how to wash six winter essentials before storage."

It's important to clean off corrosive salt and dirt off of your snowshoes, skis and other winter gear before storing it!

"Winter footwear includes boots of all kinds—galoshes, hiking boots, moccasins, snow shoes, and everything in between. They tend to pick up more than slush and mud. Salt and bacteria can be much worse. "

I can't believe this *tiny bean* is almost 3 months old!

We've updated the baby registry with some winter gear and other hexmas wishlist things Assata would love.

We have all the basics so nothing on here is urgent! These are just the things that would be lovely to have as baby gets bigger, starts eating solids in a few months, and spends more time outdoors.
