Of the many talents I wished I possessed, crocheting is at the top of the list, right along with singing in key and being able to sketch something other than stick figures. Since I don't expect to inherit any of those talents any time so…
My mom gets teary-eyed when talking about a pair of red Mary Jane shoes I had as a little girl and so I've always envisioned getting a similar pair for my daughter. And then I saw these red Mary Jane shoes with white hearts. Seriously. C…
My daughter is a bit of a choosy dresser. To say the least. If I'm being perfectly honest, it takes at least half an hour to get her ready every morning and she balks--nay, tantrums for an hour--if anything she's wearing is even slightly…
This week, I saw the cutest pair of Robeez baby shoes in a local boutique and I ran online to see what else they were up to. Boy the company has come a long way since my 5 year-old was a baby and your choices were basically the fire truc…
My 7 month old is an insanely adorable bundle of energy. I recently discovered, much to my dismay, that she also inherited my crazy wide feet. Thinking ahead, I've been trying to find some decent shoes for her . I've searched high and lo…
Everybody goes gaga for a squishy new baby. Not only do they look like Winston Churchill and smell like heaven, but you can dress them up the cutest little thumb-sized shoes without the scuffing and "Oops, we left it at the playground" i…
Sure, we've all had elasticized slippers for our babies, but when was the last time your baby went out in hand-made, hand-beaded leather stay-on moccasins made by First Nations women in Canada? Not recently, I'm willing to bet. These lit…
Up until now, I thought of kids' slippers as a blah winter afterthought or last minute stocking stuffer. But once I saw my own little fairy stomping around the house in these Pixie Slippers from Organic Echo, I realized that they're not …
As the air grows warmer, a slow smile spreads over my face. I'm not thinking about beach vacations or barbecues though. No, the thought balloon over my head says, Soon my kids will wear sandals , and I won't have to hunt and wash and mat…
My search for the ultimate summer sandal is on thanks to the early 80-degree weather here in the South, and I think I might have found it in Bear Feet shoes . The simple, versatile styling instantly caught my eye, and as I clicked around…
Just because the holidays are behind us doesn't mean it's time to put away the sparkle. Especially when it's as subtle as the lovely silver mary jane baby shoes from Chickpea Kids. I fell in love with these butter-soft lambskin shoes whe…
I remember feeling pretty annoyed with everyone telling me how difficult it was to have a winter baby - more blankets, big coats, being stuck in the house all day. The list goes on. But what they all failed to mention was the adorablenes…
With the weather getting cooler (yes, even here in Atlanta) my barefoot kiddos are sporting some pretty chilly tootsies. I perused a few stores for some kids' slipper options, only to find gigantic square cars and other impractical licen…
With the cold weather here, my little barefoot-loving toddler is now being forced into socks and shoes. And boy is she ticked off about it. But I'd imagine the Beba Bean sweater socx will make kids like her a much happier camper. These m…
I'm going to be perfectly honest with you; in general the notion of putting cashmere on a baby seems absurd to me. In my world, babies and "hand wash only" are two things that don't go together. But now I humbly eat my words, having chec…
The latest dispatch in the You Get What You Pay For department: The stunning new Kahu winter baby boots from Nui Organics , the wonderful New Zealand company that creates beautiful items from organic Merino wool using sustainable farming…
I can't wait to show you what I've found for this week's Etsy roundup. Baby shoes! Ok, you might not be as excited as I am, but when all your kids are big and sweaty and teens that smell like Axe, I'll ask you again and then you'll squee…
The new fall kids' shoes from CMP fave Livie and Luca are starting to slowly appear on the website and I am absolutely loving the new mushroom-adorned Woodland Boot which is a fun, Hobbit-esque update to the London Boots we were digging …
If there's anything that can give my retired uterus a few pangs, it's a pair of adorable hand knit baby booties , like the new ones from CMP fave Tiny Sprouts. Known for their sweetly embroidered personalized baby blankets and baby cloth…

My six-month old is at a point where she could use a little something on her feet other than socks, but doesn't yet have a need for heartier leather (or fake leather) booties. Enter Wombagully Wonders cotton baby booties , handcrafted by…
There's no shortage of adorable, swoon-worthy items on Etsy, but Amy Joyner's She Knits shop is clearly trying to kill me with handmade cuteness. Her 100% organic cotton/wool blend "chocolate dipped" baby booties do indeed look good enou…
I used to play this game with my son when he was a baby, it was called I put on the sock, you wiggle out of it and lose it . Oh the fun we had. If only Bical Grippers existed back then. Half sock, half shoe, all cool. The lightweight neo…
Aside from good calves and bad toes, my many years of ballet training gave me a huge soft spot for ballet flats, especially when they come in mini versions for little girls. I nearly squealed when I saw these silver baby ballet slippers …
