    Must Have Kid Shoes: Freshly Picked Style

    This post is in partner with Freshly Picked. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Baby shoes are somewhat of an oxymoron if you ask me. There are many cute shoe brands out there like Nikes and Sperries that make baby and toddler sizes, but what they do not tell you is that they will likely fall off within the first ten minutes of babies wearing them. Freshly Picked Moccasins are the only shoes I suggest for every baby shower, birthday, Easter, and Christmas gifts you buy for all of your littles and their friends, girls and boys.

    Daily Harvest The Holiday Helper

    This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. During the holiday season it’s a lot harder to stay on track with eating healthy. I mean, with all of the events/parties that come along with comfort food, desserts, drinking and little sleep it’s hard to! I can personally say that I haven’t been the best at eating well but I realize that now and am focused on doing better. My body just doesn’t feel like it’s working the best potential.
