"If you don’t have a coat in the winter, you are going to be uncomfortable. You won’t be as effective at school, and you won’t be as effective at play. It drags at you," said William Nix, program coordinator.

If several inches of snow piling up on your porch right now makes you loath the thought of venturing outside with your toddler this winter season, fear not!

The advice I remember hearing and reading was something about dressing the baby like you would yourself in any given situation, perhaps with one extra layer. I’d say I found that pretty accurate, or more like that I’ll be in a tank top and my little ones will be comfy in long sleeves or short sleeves.

Generally, if someone only knows one thing about the Duggar family, it’s that the girls aren’t allowed to wear pants. Michelle Duggar has spoken about the family’s choice to keep the girls in skirts before, saying it has to do with how they interpreted the Bible.

Alternatively, look for mittens with an attached string that laces through your child’s jacket to help keep them secure.

“I bought this for my son as his very first Halloween costume when he was 8 months old. This is seriously the cutest costume ever. It is super soft and fuzzy, perfect for my little guy on a cold Halloween night. He got so many compliments as he was wearing it. It fit him so perfectly, too. It comes with a tail, monkey hat, and feet, along with the monkey costume, so it’s such a great deal. I really couldn’t be happier with my son’s first costume. I look back on pictures from it and can’t believe how cute he looked!”
