One of the first things that I was excited to buy for you was SHOES! Seeing all of the little Converse and hiking shoes just made we want to jump up and down with excitement...I think I actually did a couple of times (much to your father's chagrin). Since then, obviously, other purchases for you have excited me (i.e. food, toys, clothes, binkies, bottles, spoons...okay, pretty much everything) but nothing will ever feel the same as when I first realized that I could start buying you little shoes because you were ACTUALLY going to be joining our lives.

Hello hello hello Readers and TGIF! WOO! It's finally Payday Friday and have I got a fun product for you! :D Today's product was brought to my attention by Liam's Auntie Angela! This woman is amazing...for so very very many reasons. She jumped up and down with me like a fool (over the phone) when I told her I was pregnant, she sat with me while I was pregnant and on bed rest (and never even let on that she was bored out of her mind ;), she went SO FAR above and beyond for Liam's Star Wars themed baby shower, and she dipped out of a meeting to show me some love when I called her to freak out on the day that Liam was born. All of these things paint the picture of an amazing and wonderful woman and I love her for it all but the day that I KNEW that I would love her forever was the day that I received these from her for my son:
I freaking LOVE these shoes. They gave Angela the perfect way to show that she knew us, she knew Liam, and that she was excited for us and all of our new adventure as a little family. Liam wears them every time we leave the house! They are easy to get on, super stylish (for a nerd's child anyway), they keep his freaking socks on, and they are not easily kicked off! Liam is a sock Houdini so any shoe that helps remedy said Houdini-ism is a winner in my mind. I love these shoes so much that I just had to find out what they were about and where they came from.
These gifts from God are called Robeez. They come in styles for boys and girls and they size appropriately for newborns, creepy crawlers, and walkers! They top out at around 4 years old. They have Sesame Street characters, Star Was characters, the standard monkeys, kitties, bears, and lions, and they have dressier styled shoes as well. They are designed around the idea of mimicking bare feet and supporting the growth of tiny feet, not constricting them. By promoting balance, growth, and protection of little tooties the Robeez company has created a unique and wonderful product.
The Robeez Company has three main variations of their wonderful shoes:
- Robeez Soft Soles (which Liam has)- designed to stay on and keep feet happy, ideal for everyday wear

So far, Sean and I have only tried the Soft Soles but I can't WAIT to try the other variations. I'm especially excited for the Oscar the Grouch winter boots for next year!
That about wraps it up for Payday Friday! I hope you look into using these awesome little shoes for your own kiddo or as a unique and personal gift for someone else. :) If you're not racing over to buy the shoes, what ARE you doing for Payday Friday? Got any big, strange, or completely normal purchases planned for today? Are you finally going to be able to buy something you've been saving up for? If not, how far away are you from that dream purchase?
Have a great day everyone and TGIF! :D
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Those are like the most awesome shoes ever!!! My friday payday purcahse was some take out pad thai and curry lol it's just me this weekend and I didn't want to cook :)
ReplyDeleteShoes....as you saw recently going through your box from back home, you had a plethera of any and all kinds. Kids grow out of them so fast they hardly get any wear. But there is always the few that you can tell by the wear that were the favorites, I have a feeling these will be one of them. I love the elastic, and no skid soles. Tiny man is a sock Houdini....lol. Good job Auntie A.
ReplyDeleteMy payday friday was a fantastic purchase of a classy entertainment center (yes I got a different one, and I will be giving the other one back to the Goodwill). This was a steal for $37.99 also from the Goodwill here is Woodland Park. It is the same color as the rest of the wood in my home, and the heighth goes very well with the wall its is against. It has two pillars on the sides, and the wine "cask" wine shelf sits very nicely between the two pillars, and my Scottish Whiskey "tour" sits atop one of the pillars. Its exactly what I was looking for and looks awesome... so that was my payday Friday purchase!
