Freshly Picked GIVEAWAY

Have you ever noticed that Cade is barefoot in all of his photos? Sometimes he'll be sporting socks, but never a pair of shoes. I'm a firm believer that babies feet need the freedom to move about naturally as they continue to grow and develop, and putting hard soles on them too early is not the best option. I purchased Dax's first pair of shoes at about 10-11 months when he really started standing and cruising around because I wanted his feet protected. I had looked into a ton of different baby shoes and ultimately went with soft soles. Now that Cade isn't too far behind at just 8.5 months, he too got his first pair of soft sole shoes. He got a pair of Weathered Brown Freshly Picked moccasins, as mentioned in my last post.

I know many, if not most, of my mama friends have heard of the moccasin shop Freshly Picked. If you aren't familiar with the company started by Susan Peterson, Freshly Picked makes genuine leather soft and hard sole moccasins in a variety of sizes and colors. They are durable, completely functional, and the great part about Freshly Picked is that your babe can start wearing them right away, and continuing to grow your collection through the walking years.

This is the first pair of moccs we've ever had the pleasure to try and while I had to exchange sizes, we haven't been able to try them out completely, but I love the look and feel of them! They are incredibly simple to slip onto wiggly baby feet, but in the right size they will not slip off. The leather is incredibly soft and pliable, so they are perfect for little developing feet as they are able to wiggle their toes and the leather will form to their feet--not the other way around.

I'm really looking forward to all of the adventures and places these new moccs will go, and most of all, I can't wait to see the tiny little footprints left behind on the soles after he grows into a bigger size!
