Railroad Adventures with Freshly Picked + Giveaway

This is my love story review of Freshly Picked. Where, oh where, do i begin? As a mom i am always on the search for baby items that ACTUALLY LAST, with baby shoes at the top of my list. That’s when i discovered FRESHLY PICKED… the holy grail of all baby moccasins! I saw her on Shark Tank years ago but didn’t have a baby at the time so never looked much into them. Once my little one arrived i knew i needed to start looking into options for baby shoes that can be worn anywhere, anytime and not fall apart in a week like most brands. Susan Peterson started this company from the ground up with only $200 in her pocket, isn’t that amazing?

 

Now that Peyton is running around 24/7 i like to keep shoes on her most the day whether we are indoors or outdoors. I have been waiting to scoop up these Rose Gold Moccs for some time and now that i have them i can honestly say they are by far my FAVORITE color that we own. We own about 10 different pairs and each color is unique, beautiful and easy to mix and match with all of your babies clothing. I also feel that most the colors are gender neutral, which i love! You can purchase the Rose Gold Moccasins here .

 

 

These moccasins are very easy to get on and off, require no lacing, but the best part is, they STAY on your little ones feet. They have a built in elastic band that is stretchy, so the shoes are comfortable but secure on your little one’s feet. They have soft soles, but are perfect for all terrains, be it at the park or playground, and they are great for all seasons. PLUS if they get dirty, they can easily be cleaned with a wet wipe or washcloth.

 

 

I love watching Peyton grow up in these shoes and the little toe prints engraved on the bottom of them will always be my reminder of our adventures together. I don’t know about you but i think that is the ultimate keepsake.

As a mom, i will continue to purchase freshly picked for as long as I keep having babies and will recommend them to anyone and everyone. The price tag may seem high but i can PROMISE you that these are the best of the best and DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

There is only one two words you need to know when it comes to baby moccassions… FRESHLY PICKED! Read it again so you never forget it… FRESHLY PICKED!

They recently sent me a pair of their new Fire Engine moccs to review from their “Classics Collection”.  They provided the shoes but my views are all my own and what I can say is that I love them.  Honest-to-goodness, truly, madly, deeply, I heart these shoes. These exact moccasins are currently sold out but i linked their new coral ones that are a close match.

First of all… i have to admit that I have tried several other brands of baby moccasins but i can honestly say without a doubt in my mind,  the quality does not even TOUCH freshly picked. They are sooo well made, super soft and best of all, they actually STAY PUT on my baby girl. I got this color at the perfect time of year cause this red shade matched all our fun christmas outfits and we will be putting them to daily use until she grows out of them. Ever since I got pregnant, I have been eyeing the incredible sweetness of Freshly Picked leather moccasins, in all their prints and colors. From neons, to neutrals and metallics, every pair of Freshly Picked moccs are to die for.

Dear November

Dear November

November is the month to remind us to be thankful for all the positive things in our life. I am grateful for so many things but this little girl is currently at the top of my list. She just turned 5 months old and i’m full of emotions; happy, sad, excited and nervous! I’m so thankful that she is healthy, strong and growing into a beautiful baby girl but so sad that time has to fly by so quickly. It’s such a bittersweet feeling but above all i am overwhelmed with gratitude just to be this girls mom.

Being a mom for such a short time has already taught me so much. Patience is a virtue and this girl is teaching me everything i need to know about patience! 🙂 Her giggles warm my heart and her smile lights up my world! I am still currently pinching myself that i get to keep her FOREVER! I just hope she continues to love me as much as she does now!

Welcome to the world Baby Peyton

Welcome to the world Baby Peyton

Peyton Colleen Thompson weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces with 10 little tiny fingers and 10 little tiny toes.

Oh how i wish i could bottle up her yummy smells, her wrinkly little hands and overall perfection. My life was forever changed, the moment they placed you in my arms baby girl!

Being a first time mom, i had no idea what to expect going into labor. I was excited and terrified all at the same time. My emotions were all over the place and my heart was beating out of my chest but above all i just couldn’t wait to meet you. Luckily, my labor went incredibly fast and i was holding my sweet angel in my arms before i knew it.

With big blue eyes and the sweetest pouty lips i have ever seen, i am head over heels IN LOVE with you baby girl!
