We are slowing moving towards spring but there is sure to be a lot more cold weather before we get there.

Pocket hand warmers are perfect for cold days – larger ones work can be tucked into pockets along with your hands and smaller ones can be put directly into mittens to help keep hands warmer.

They are super easy to make and your entire family is sure to love them.

This is adorable!! I do want to let you know that there were ads for "Hell Fest" the movie over every single one of your pictures (when I visited) and think you should removed them. Definitely killed the warm and fuzzy vibe you have going on here.

What a great idea! I'm assuming you microwave them to heat them. How long would you recommend?
