Magic shoes

Ever since my kids were itty bitty I have fought to find shoes that I can
      1) GET ON their chubby, but short feet and
      2) have said shoe that I fight to get on actually STAY ON.

I can't even tell you how many adorable pairs of shoes were never worn because I couldn't accomplish those seemingly simple tasks. When my son was born, I had mostly resigned myself to the fact that he would just be barefoot until he was 2, since I couldn't even keep socks on the kid. He is BUSY though, and I knew I needed to find shoes that would be fast, easy and most importantly would stay on his feet!

Enter Freshly Picked Moccasins, soft leather shoes that are flexible, easy to get on and by a streak of genius DO NOT FALL OFF. In the 12 months Bub has been wearing his I can count on one hand the number of times he's wiggled out of one (never both).

Elk Hide. Love this color, and seriously the softest leather ever.

Even better though, he really likes them. At 18 mo old, he's started to be more interested in what he's wearing and given a choice, he will always choose moccs.

While I love these for my boy, I was a bit skeptical in getting a pair for my 3 year old girl. She is a typical 3 year old, messy, active and a bit crazy. I was excited to get to review a pair for my daughter to see how they held up to her crazy active antics.

Weathered brown.

Pumpkin received a pair of weathered brown and it's been a little over one month of extensive wear (trips to the park, shopping, walks around the block, toddler length hikes etc) and I am happy to say they are still good as ever. She has started to wear in her little toe prints (which I love). She loves them as much as her brother and has never once complained about feel (and believe me she would, girlfriend makes me cut out EVERY. SINGLE. TAG.). Now to get a purple pair (she's obsessed, all she asked for Christmas was a purple wallet, oh and Frozen underwear, because come on, she's 3.)

Singing, dancing, and of course on her tip toes.
