Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing, kind and supportive Mom who gives the best hugs ever!! 🤗💐💖

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately since things have been pretty busy…we moved to a new house! 🏡 Moving is a lot of work but the house immediately felt like home and we’re super happy with our beautiful big backyard. The best part is that my Mom has moved in with us! 💗

I’m so grateful to have such a close relationship with my Mom and it feels so natural to live together again. Thankfully my husband gets along with her really well too! And it’s so nice she can spend more time with her grandsons. 💕

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Hope you got lots of hugs today! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Did you know that Health Canada gave approval for us to be a Class 1 Medical Device manufacturer? 🇨🇦😄 Long-Term Care homes and retirement homes can be rest assured that we have done our due diligence and have gotten our Hug Glove tested. Thanks to our amazing QARA (Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs) consultant Sandi Ordog from Focus QM Strategies, we have gone through the appropriate regulatory processes with Health Canada.

If you’re curious, our MDEL (Medical Device Establishment Licence) number is 23826. We are officially on the list! 😁

Thank you SO much Sandi! @sho_bv We could not have done this without you! 🙏

📣📣📣BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! 📣📣📣

We did it! 🙌😄 We got Health Canada approval!!! 🇨🇦 Now we can sell to Long-Term Care Homes and hospitals. This has always been our intention with our Hug Glove 🤗❤️

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us and helping us along the way. 🙏 It’s been quite the journey. Who would’ve thought that the hug I gave my Mom on Mother’s Day in the early days of the pandemic would lead to having a family business and manufacturing a product. I am so proud of what I’ve created and where it will take us. Most of all, I’m so thrilled that we will be helping keep families together ❤️❤️❤️

A HUGE thank you to our amazing consultant @sho_bv of FOCUS QM Strategies - we could not have done our Health Canada submission without you! Thank you to the incredible team at @barbariansportswear especially Steve Wagner and Nick Diezyn for all your advice and support. 🙏

Last but not least, thanks to my super supportive family, especially my wonderful Mom. The Hug Glove would not have even existed without you! Thanks for always believing in me. I love you so much!! 🤗❤️

I was going back through some old videos and found this from when we were in our local paper. 😄🗞 May 20, 2021.

Jessica Lovell had written a lovely article for the Guelph Mercury Tribune about our new Hug Glove product that we had just launched on Mother’s Day that year. ❤️

Our youngest son was so little then…was just 3 years old. 🥰 His voice is so sweet! And of course he has always loved trucks and cars so he was excited about anything with tires! 😆

Our family recently participated in the Pay It Forward FUNdraiser for @rmhcsco ❤️💛 It’s a chance for Alumni families to help support families staying at Ronald McDonald House South Central Ontario in Hamilton. We had stayed there when our first son was born and spent time in the NICU at @mcmasterchildrens hospital.

We believe that keeping families together is best for everyone and that hugs truly are medicine! 🤗❤️ When we stayed at RMHSCO we felt totally held and supported. We had home cooked meals made for us every single day and a warm bed to sleep in right across the street from the hospital so that we could rest & recharge, giving us enough energy to face another day in the NICU. It wasn’t easy seeing our baby hooked up to all the tubes and monitors but in order to be there for him and hold him skin-to-skin as much as possible, we needed to be nourished and cared for ourselves. @rmhcsco does exactly that…they help take care of parents and families so they can be there for their sick child in the hospital.

Wednesday, May 10th is McHappy Day at @mcdonaldscanada ❤️ All day long a portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting Ronald McDonald Houses. Plus there’s cool merchandise and fun socks! 😍🧦 Mark your calendars and head over to McDonalds in support of @rmhccanada so they can help families like us.

Shout out to my awesome hometown of Guelph, Ontario, Canada! 😄❤️

Our original Hug Glove photo recently made it into the @wsj in an article entitled “What Worked Against Covid” written by Tom Frieden. We are so proud to have made it into such a prestigious newspaper! It’s so cool to see our Hug Glove photos from the early days of the Covid pandemic still being circulated today…from little ol’ Guelph all the way to Wall Street! ☺️

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting two prominent figures in Guelph… @mikeschreinergpo and @mayorcamguthrie. They are both so approachable and knew about our Hug Glove and wished us luck with our business. Thanks to both of you for your kindness and support!! It truly means a lot. 🙏

We just completed a 3-month Momentum Business Mentor Program with the @bcguelphwell and @pollinatenetworks where we were connected with a business advisor as well as a mentor from the community. We were so fortunate to have been paired up with the very knowledgeable Paul Brombal, owner of @sidonios186 and a wonderful advisor Nathalie Plouffe. Thank you both for your time and expertise! 🙏

These types of business programs get funding from the City of Guelph and Ontario Trillium Foundation. We are feeling very grateful to be living in such an amazing city and province that supports small businesses like ours! Sending big hugs to everyone involved in making the decisions to ensure these programs happen. 🤗

The sky is the limit! 💙☁️

This was my very first attempt at making a Hug Glove that hung within a door frame. After our original Hug Glove video went viral in May 2020, people from all over the world reached out to me asking if we sold them and if I could make them one.

Fast forward to today…we now professionally manufacture Hug Gloves with hospital gown material and are working towards selling within nursing homes & hospital settings. It’s been a slow process with lots of hoops to jump through and a real roller coaster of ups & downs but I happen to like roller coasters! 😍 And when you are truly passionate about something, the Universe finds a way of supporting you. ✨

Sometimes I feel like things have gone at a snails pace but when I look back at what we’ve accomplished I’m really proud of myself. ☺️

I was so honoured to share our story on the @cbcradio show @cbcnowornever 😄 Thanks to the host Trevor Dineen for the lovely chat and thanks to the producer Glory Omotayo for putting together such a heartwarming and inspiring piece. Check out the episode about inventions wherever you get your podcasts or online at CBC.ca

Posted @withregram • @cbcnowornever Carolyn Ellis really wanted to give her mom a hug for Mothers Day.

The year was 2020, and pandemic restrictions at the time still required all of us to isolate from our loved ones.

To fulfill her wish, Carolyn decided to get crafty. She invented The Hug Glove, a big plastic sheet with four arm holes that allowed her to embrace her mom safely.

When a video of their hug went viral on social media, Carolyn started getting requests from people all over the world who wanted their own Hug Glove.

On today's episode, Carolyn shares some of biggest challenges she's encountered in trying to turn her dream into reality: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-150-now-or-never/clip/15918055-everyday-innovators-inventors-give-idea

We are working hard on our goal to get Hug Gloves into Long-Term Care Homes across Canada. 🇨🇦🤗❤️

Over the past couple of years, we saw homemade “hug curtains” being used in care homes around the world during the pandemic but none in Canada. So that set us on a mission to do things properly and jump through the necessary hoops to get a quality product available for isolated seniors in long-term care homes across our country. Slowly but surely, we are getting closer and closer to achieving our goal.

Share, follow, and tell your friends! We really appreciate your support! 🙏😍

Our “new & improved” Hug Glove was designed to fit within a standard doorframe 👍

It can be adjusted for hugging a tall loved one or lowered to hug a small child or someone who uses a wheelchair. You can also have chairs on either side to have a visit and hold hands through the sleeves.

HUG. VISIT. REPEAT. 🫂❤️😄

Merry Christmas from the Hug Glove Family! 🤗❤️🎄🎅🏻🌟

We hope everyone is staying safe & healthy and can be with friends & family whether it be virtually or safely in-person. Our in-person family gathering is small…it’s just us and my Mom, who is in our “bubble” so we’re not using our #hugglove anymore! We are so grateful that our loved ones are safe and we’re excited to have some video chats with our extended family today.

Sending big Christmas hugs to you all! 🤗❤️🎄

The Hug Glove was hung by the stockings with care. 🎄😆

This was us one year ago…working on the second Hug Glove prototype. 🤗❤️ We stayed up late many nights together tweaking the design. I was hopeful that it could have been ready for production Christmas last year but good quality products take time to perfect.

We were persistent & patient and here we are today…this Christmas we are shipping out Hug Gloves to help people connect with their loved ones…one hug at a time! 🤗😍

Merry Christmas from the Hug Glove creators, Carolyn & Andrew Ellis xoxo

We are proud to say that our Hug Glove is made in Canada! 🇨🇦

We have partnered with an amazing Canadian company in Kitchener, Ontario - Barbarian Medical. They have been so fantastic to work with over the past year. Thanks @barbariansportswear for everything! 🙏

It’s also been so incredible being in business with my Mom. She’s always been so supportive of this venture and has been right there by my side every step of the way. Here we are visiting the factory in Kitchener, Ontario, doing an interview with Jessica Smith from @ctvkitchener - my Mom rocked the interview! She’s the best Mom, friend and business partner I could ever ask for! 😍

We are proud to say that our Hug Glove is made in Canada! 🇨🇦

We have partnered with an amazing Canadian company in Kitchener, Ontario - Barbarian Medical. They have been so fantastic to work with over the past year. Thanks @barbariansportswear for everything! 🙏

It’s also been so incredible being in business with my Mom. She’s always been so supportive of this venture and has been right there by my side every step of the way. Here we are visiting the factory in Kitchener, Ontario, doing an interview with Jessica Smith from @ctvkitchener - my Mom rocked the interview! She’s the best Mom, friend and business partner I could ever ask for! 😍

What a summer! ☀️Haven’t posted in a while since we’ve been quite busy behind the scenes plus making time for some fun too! 😄

Andrew and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary - he surprised me with a picnic under my favourite tree up on a hill, just outside of Guelph in the countryside. 😍🥰

Then we had such a fun time celebrating our son’s birthday with @guelphspiderman - super talented guy and fantastic with the kids! 🕷👍🕸

We also had a wonderful time at Loon Landing, a cottage we’ve rented with my Mom the past few years through Kennisis Lake Cottage Rentals. ❤️ Highly recommend this cottage booking company in Haliburton - such great customer service and the lake is spectacular, as you can see! 🛶 We enjoyed lots of canoeing, swimming, soaking up the sun and relaxing by the campfire, roasting marshmallows of course! The last few pics are from the decor around the cottage and from our playing cards we got from the Wolf Centre nearby. Words to live by! ✨

There has been so much waste with disposable PPE these days. We designed our Hug Glove with the earth in mind. 🌎❤️⁠
⁠
The Hug Glove is made from reusable medical gown material which can be laundered and the plastic sheeting can be wiped down and reused. ⁠
⁠
We care about the environment and did not want our product to impact the environment in a negative way. This was our way of giving Mother Earth a big hug! 🤗⁠

Happy Father's Day to our awesome Dads! Wish we could give you big hugs today. 🤗💙⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The first photo is of Andrew hugging his Dad with the original Hug Glove in Kingston, Ontario on June 28, 2020. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The second photo is of Carolyn and her Dad circa summer of 1998 at Ontario Pioneer Camp in Muskoka. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Carolyn's Dad, Eric Watts, had passed away in July 2015, just one month before our first son was born. Sadly he didn't get a chance to meet his first grandchild but he was so thrilled to know he was going to be a Grandpa. Eric had a heart transplant in 1987 and we were lucky to have had a father for 27 more years. He had to take medication to suppress his immune system so his body wouldn't reject his new heart so if he were alive today he would’ve needed to be extra cautious. I’m sure he would've loved the Hug Glove since he used to give the best bear hugs ever! 🤗
⁠⁠
Wishing all the Dads both on this earth and up in heaven a very Happy Father's Day. ❤️⁠⁠

Getting my Mother's Day hugs last year! 🤗💙⁠
⁠
This was just moments before we gave my Mom her special Mother's Day gift of a hug with our original Hug Glove. I got hugs of my own from my beautiful boys...they were 4 years old and 2 years old at the time. ⁠👶🏻🧒🏼
⁠
It was tough during the early days of the pandemic when we had made the decision to social distance from my Mom. She only lives 5 minutes away from us and would help us out so much with the boys. ⁠
⁠
When I had given my Mom our famous first hug with our Hug Glove, I instantly became very emotional and realized that I needed that hug too! ⁠❤️
⁠
Do you know anyone who could use a hug? 🤗 Maybe a burnt out frontline worker who is keeping distance from her mom or dad?⁠

Great height for hugging grandkids! 🤗💙⁠
⁠
We put a lot of thought into our design and one of the most important changes we made was to the height of the sleeves. Accessibility is important to us and wanted to ensure that people who use wheelchairs or are unable to stand for long periods of time could enjoy the Hug Glove too. ⁠
⁠
Plus the lower height is perfect for young children to hug their grandparents. Great birthday gift for Grandma! And don't forget that Father's Day is coming up. The Hug Glove is a wonderful and unique gift idea for the special Grandpa in your life! ⁠

Here's a look back at the "prototype test" the day before Mother's Day 2020. Andrew and the boys were braving the wind, trying to attach the vapor barrier to the clothesline with our trusty Duct Tape! ⁠
⁠
Needless to say, it wasn't a smooth operation battling the wind, the Duct tape wouldn't stick to the plastic, and the boys were running around trying to go through the plastic like a couple of raging bulls - which was shockingly unhelpful 🙃 ! ⁠
⁠
It was pretty much mayhem and I was worried my idea wasn’t going to work! It was the first challenge of many to come before the Hug Glove™ would be perfected! ⁠

The Hug Glove™ is machine washable and 100% reusable. ⁠
⁠
We care about the environment and have worked hard to ensure that we are not contributing to the landfill. The top plastic sheeting can be wiped down with soap and water, and the isolation gown material is easily removed and laundered in a household washing machine. ⁠
⁠
The Hug Glove should be cleaned between each use. Care and cleaning instructions are available on our website at www.hugglove.ca⁠

Where it all began! ⁠
⁠
This is my wonderful and supportive husband Andrew who helped me give the gift of a hug to my mother in May of 2020.⁠
⁠
The beginning of the pandemic was wild and scary for everyone, and then it just became isolating and sad. We were all told everything was cancelled - even a mother's embrace. The possibility of spreading a deadly and unknown virus was overwhelming but so was the loneliness we all were feeling being away from the ones we hold near and dear. ⁠
⁠
💡 !! What if we made some sort of barrier so our family could hug "nan" again!? So the great craft night(s) of 2020 began as we prepared the first version of what would later become known across the world as the "Hug Glove". ⁠

It’s National Nurses Week! 👩‍⚕️❤️🙏 A big Thank You to all the nurses out there! We appreciate everything you do to help people stay healthy & safe.

A very special shout out to one RN in particular...my Mom, Susan Watts. In 1968, she graduated from The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and did her training in the nursery...her job was to hold and snuggle babies! How wonderful is that? No wonder she became such an amazing Mom and such a great hugger! 🤗

My Mom was the inspiration for the Hug Glove and none of this would have even happened if it weren’t for her. Thank you Mom for always being there for me and for being so supportive in everything I do. I am so lucky to call you Mom. Happy Mother’s Day!! I love you! 💝💐💕

Today is International Day of the Midwife and it’s also World Maternal Mental Health Day. I want to recognize an incredible woman...Basak Ardalani. 🙏❤️

She was our midwife for our son Freddie. Shockingly Freddie wasn’t breathing when he was born, which was a surprise to everyone in the room. Basak acted quickly and resuscitated him, saving his life. We will be forever grateful to her for bringing our first born into this world and helping keep him here with us. It was an incredibly traumatic moment to say the least. We didn’t know if he was going to make it. I still relive those moments and have gone through many therapy sessions to deal with the trauma. Basak encouraged me to seek therapy and helped me breastfeed and do as much skin-to-skin as possible. We truly believe that the skin-to-skin we gave Freddie when he was in the NICU at McMaster Children’s Hospital helped him get stronger and get home faster. I also know that it positively impacted my mental health. Mamas and babies need each other and they need all the support possible to make that happen. Basak did that for us. She was there every step of the way in his recovery and on my journey too.

Sadly she passed away in June 2017 when Freddie was almost 2 years old. We miss her so much. She used to visit us often and as you can see, she had such a special bond with Freddie. The way he would look at her! It’s as though he knew that she was the angel who saved his life. She helped us more than words can express and she helped so many babies and families. She was such a skilled midwife, an incredible wealth of knowledge and a strong advocate for birthing women. I am determined to ensure her memory and legacy live on. Our beautiful son Freddie is a testament to her passion for doing what is right. We love you Basak and wish we could hug you now. 🤗 You helped me become a mother for the first time and brought the first grandchild into our family. We will never forget you and your kindness, passion, care and love. ❤️

Today is International Day of the Midwife and it’s also World Maternal Mental Health Day. I want to recognize an incredible woman...Basak Ardalani. 🙏❤️

She was our midwife for our son Freddie. Shockingly Freddie wasn’t breathing when he was born, which was a surprise to everyone in the room. Basak acted quickly and resuscitated him, saving his life. We will be forever grateful to her for bringing our first born into this world and helping keep him here with us. It was an incredibly traumatic moment to say the least. We didn’t know if he was going to make it. I still relive those moments and have gone through many therapy sessions to deal with the trauma.

I can’t believe it’s almost been one whole year since we gave my Mom the Hug Glove for Mother’s Day!! 🤗❤️

We’re just having a lazy Sunday today, doing Lego with the boys and creating some pretty cool spaceships! 🚀

I’m reflecting on the things I’ve created...two of the best creations I have made (with help from my amazing husband Andrew!) are by far our two beautiful boys! 💙💙 Henry is turning 3 years old this week and Freddie is 5 1/2 years old. They’re quite a handful at times but it helps that they’re cute! We’re trying to focus on the simple things in life and the boys help us do that. 🙂

Another one of my favourite creations is the playhouse/Fire House in our backyard - complete with a pole to slide down that used to be our clothes line pole. The initials on the front are for Fire House and Freddie & Henry! 👦🏼❤️🧒🏻 🚒

And of course...another one of my absolutely favourite creations is the Hug Glove! 🤗❤️ It’s brought such joy to our family to be able to hug my Mom and in-laws over this past year. Stay tuned for more creations from this family!! 😄

I want to recognize two very special photographers 📷 ...my husband Andrew Ellis, who took our Hug Glove photo that recently made it into Hello Canada Magazine! @hellocanadamag Does that mean Andrew is a celebrity photographer now? 😆

And I’d like to thank a real celebrity photographer @georgepimentel1 for selecting Andrew’s photo to be part of the @canadacovidportrait project. It’s been so wonderful for our entire family to be part of this project. 🙏🇨🇦

My Mom and I were so excited to see our photo on display on Toronto’s Harbourfront as part of the outdoor photo exhibit (we visited Toronto before the lockdown). The photos are still on display, if you live nearby and are out walking - the black & white photos are on the front facade of @harbourfrontcentre and the coloured photos are down the street in Queens Quay and Reese Street. Please keep your distance while viewing the photographs and don’t forget to wear your mask! 😷 My Mom and I love our Canadian made masks from @barbariansportswear ! 🇨🇦❤️

Where does the time go??? 🤷‍♀️⏱

It’s almost been a year since our famous hug on Mother’s Day. 🤗❤️ Sadly not much seems to have changed...here we are in a lockdown again! But thankfully my Mom can be part of our household this time because she lives alone. And our Hug Glove has been replaced by a hockey net! 🥅

I love the 3rd photo here - it’s a bit fuzzy since I zoomed in on a still shot of our video. So cute seeing the boys super excited and enthralled by what was happening between their Mommy and Nanny! I think they’re picking up on the pure joy we were feeling in that moment. 😄

I can’t believe how big Freddie & Henry have gotten in one year. Time sure does fly when you’re having a Groundhog Day of a year! What’s been getting us through this wild year is our amazing family & friends, lots of backyard soccer & driveway hockey and of course HUGS!!! 🤗

We are so honoured to be part of the @canadacovidportrait project. 🙏🇨🇦 Thank you to @georgepimentel1 and his amazing team for selecting my husband Andrew’s photo of me and my Mom hugging on Mother’s Day last year with our Hug Glove. 🤗❤️

It’s super cool to see ourselves printed in @hellocanadamag!! 😄 My Mom is over the moon and my mother-in-law is too...she’s the one who had told us to submit our photo in the first place! When we called her to tell her to check her magazine (we give her a Hello Canada Magazine subscription for Christmas every year!) she got very emotional. Thank you George for the lovely caption beside our photo and for all the hard work you’ve done on this awesome project! 🙌👏
