Cute & Comfortable Kicks For you Kids from @wearikiki

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Every parent knows how fast little feet grow and how important it is to get supportive, comfortable shoes for your little one! But it is also great to have FUN shoes for your little one that are both comfortable and supportive for growing feet and that is what ikiki Squeaky shoes are!

These shoes feature fun animals on the shoes and they have a squeaker too - that can be shut off for quiet times or turned off when you need to know where your child is at all times!

Plus, they've searched long and hard to find the best materials for a breathable, comfortable, and fun shoe for kids that will help them learn to walk. Squeaky shoes have been recommended by physical therapists and pediatricians to help toddlers learn to walk and reinforce good walking habits. That makes them perfect for crawlers learning to walk, toddlers learning to take proper heel-to-toe steps, or anyone who wants walking to be fun.

My favorite feature of these shoes is their patented adjustable squeaker that can be turned on or off with the flip of a switch! We have owned squeaky shoes before but there is no way to turn them off! They soon get put in the "no wear" pile because nobody wants a squeaky child ALL the time!

My son received the Mr. Barkles squeaky shoe from ikiki and he instantly got a HUGE grin on his face! He loves the dog face and I love how easy they are to put on and off! My 2 year old can even take them off himself! That is a plus when my hands are full!

You can really tell the time and effort that went into the creation of these fun shoes! I know both my child and I love them and they are our go-to shoe every day!

You can purchase ikiki Squeaky Shoes for $29.95 from their website.

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

School will be starting again before we know it but for these last couple of weeks of summer you must let your children walk around in their super cute unique, colorful and playful flip flops for kids called Animal Traks. Whether you are headed to the beach, on a walk or even in wet pavement, these sandals leave adorable prints wherever your children go!

My children received the adorable Bear and Dino Flip Flops and they couldn't be happier! They love the fun animal prints they can make and the flips flops are comfortable and so cute!

My daughter received the Bear flip flops in red and they were a little big but that wasn't stopping her from smiling ear to ear every time she wore them!

There were her first "big kid" flip flops without straps on the back and I love the comfortable extra thick heel with small arch support so they protect her feet from foot problems!

And my son is a HUGE fan of Dinosaurs so the Dino flip flops were a must-have for my son! He was instantly thrilled and wouldn't take them off!

I love that they are quick dry and easy washing and are made with thick quality material! I don't have to worry about my son wearing a hole through these flip flops!

If you want a fun summer gift for your children, Animal Traks flip flops are super fun and comfortable for making trips all over the beach!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I can admit right now that I am not a heels kind of girl! I don't appreciate aching feet after half an hour or tripping and falling on my face. So I stick to what I love best - comfort!

One of my favorite comfortable shoes companies is Keds and they have my back as I transition to summer footwear!

I LOVE the TEALIGHT T STRAP MICRO DOT sandals I received from Keds! They are the perfect sandals to wear with jean capris or shorts and they are comfortable AND cute - the perfect combination!

These Keds sandals feature a T-strap sandal with buckle closure and a printed twill upper. My favorite part is the flexible rubber outsole and the cute polka dots design!

Plus, if you are a bride this summer, you may be searching for the perfect pair of comfy sneakers to slip into for the reception so you can dance the night away!

Look no further than Keds's great selection of white options with styles and textures ranging from slides to laced and canvas to lace!

They are classy white and super comfortable which works great for a long night of dancing!

NEW Kids' Encanto Collection from @KEEN & #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Sometimes as a parent it is hard to find a quality shoe company that makes durable AND cute shoes for your children! Children tend to be hard on shoes - I know mine are with all the running, walking and playing outside that they do so I am always on the search for quality shoes for them that will last!

One of my favorite children's shoe companies is KEEN and they have recently launched their brand new Encanto Collection. This adorable collection of boots and kicks are made just for kids that love to be outdoors! They sound like they were designed JUST FOR MY KIDS - kids who like to get out and explore! Plus, they are SO CUTE and these boots and shoes definitely earn style points at school and durability points on the playground.

They have three new styles and each style was perfect for each of my children! Check them out below!

Encanto 365 Boot

The Encanto Waterproof Boot keeps feet dry using a waterproof membrane and water-resistant materials, making it 50% lighter-weight than most heavier boots made with rubber. Webbing loops make it easy for little kids to pull on the boot themselves and the adjustable bungee closes around the leg so kids can puddle-stomp all they want without water splashing into their boots. A protective toe-cap adds the durability KEEN is known for and the fun mix of colors will look cute paired with any outfit! 

My son LOVES the colors of these boots and how lightweight and comfortable they are! He isn't a big guy so these lightweight boots are perfect for him - he can still be really active in these boots while keeping his feet warm and dry! And I love the pull up loops so he is able to put them on all by himself and the tightening straps keep his feet protected from any rain getting in!

(MSRP $60.00; 8-13)

Encanto Sneaker

My littlest guy is sporting the Encanto Sneaker and looks like such a big boy in them! Now that he is walking like crazy, I have to have durable shoes for him - especially once it is nice outside again and he plays outside! 

Bright colors and graphic prints make the Encanto Sneaker adorable kick a hit for parents and kids! The hook and loop strap with bungee laces makes it easy for toddlers to explore their independence, getting shoes on and off “all by myself”. The padded collar, foam footbed and breathable mesh lining show attention to detail on this tiniest of sneakers. 

They are so cute and tiny and my son points at them all the time for me to put them on him!

(MSRP $50.00; Sizes 4-13)

Encanto Polka

And for my daughter, she gets the Encanto Polka shoes for her upcoming birthday!

Polka dots are always in style with this precious girls sneaker! Comfort elements include a padded collar and tongue plus a breathable mesh lining. The asymmetrical hook and loop strap makes it easy for little girls to get these shoes on by themselves. The rainbow pull loop at the heel and French binding throughout add darling finishing touches to this fun little sneaker.

I love that these shoes are easy for my daughter to put on and off by herself - that is a must when you have three little ones to try and get out the door! :) The polka dots are so cute and I love that these shoes are made to last but super cute at the same time! These will definitely be my daughter's "running shoes" this summer! She LOVES to run!

(MSRP $50.00; Sizes 8-13)

Overall, I LOVE the fun colors, designs and durability of these new KEEN shoes! The one thing I would keep in mind when buying these shoes (especially online) is that they do seem to run small. Definitely order a size bigger than your child normally wears!

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Children from pediped & MAM & #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

If you are looking for a great gift idea for your children this Valentine's Day, I have two great ideas for children - no matter what age!!

If you are looking for a great gift idea that will grow with your child, be good for their feet and be super cute, look no further than pediped shoes! They are by far my favorite brand of shoes for my children - they are durable, comfortable and always super cute!

My favorite part, though, has got to be their Flex Fit System™ which provides additional insoles that can be inserted for a snug fit then removed for room as your child's foot grows. These insoles can reduce shoe size by almost half a size, extending the life of the shoe. I have done this several times with my children with different pediped shoes and it helps me save money by not having to go out and buy a new pair of shoes!!

My daughter will be getting the Giselle Chocolate Brown Flex ® shoes for her birthday in March and she is going to LOVE them! They will be great for dressy, casual and even going on walks outside in the spring (her favorite thing to do!).

These Mary Janes are absolutely adorable with pink and lime green dots. Crafted out of genuine leather and featuring the Flex Fit System™, Giselle is the ultimate choice in comfort and fit. Plus, they are easy to put on and off so my daughter can put them on by herself! She (and I!) love that!

Other features:

• Genuine leather upper
• Breathable leather lining
• Flexible rubber sole
• Mary Jane with Velcro closure
• Approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development

I HIGHLY recommend pediped shoes for children of all ages! They really are quality made and their styles are so cute - no matter if you are looking for boys or girls!

Keep Little Toes Warm & Safe This Winter with Robeez!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Robeez, a premier baby and toddler shoe brand providing soft-soled and flex-soled footwear that support healthy foot growth (0-24 mos). They have adorable shoes (plus tons of cute holiday/winter styles!) available to keep little toes warm and snuggly during the colder months.

Always functional and fashionable, Robeez shoes are a favorite with parents and medical experts. All Robeez footwear products carry the American Podiatric Medical Association’s Seal of Acceptance for promoting normal foot function.

I have always been a big fan of Robeez shoes starting with my first born! Now, I am on my third child and still love the super cute designs, the comfort their shoes offer and the soft soles for good foot and walking development.

They have some really cute designs for keeping little toes warm and stylish this winter. Check out two of my favorite below - one style for girls and one for boys!

Robeez Classic Soft Soles Boots, Brown

$38.00

Robeez's classic bootie is here to keep your little one warm on cold winter days and nights. These faux fur lined leather booties come in a variety of colors: Pink, Navy, Cream and Brown and can be worn by both boys and girls.

Like all Robeez Soft Soles, this footwear features a non-slip suede outsole, which protects your child from slipping, and an elasticized ankle band which will keep this shoe securely on your baby's foot. If your child can't go barefoot, choose Robeez.

My daughter LOVES boots and she loves how soft, warm and comfortable these booties are! She wears them around the house all the time and even wears them outside (if it is dry!).

Robeez Basic Brian Mini Shoez, Black

$36.00

A classic style for little boys! This black, pebble leather baby shoe has a tonal stitching and a faux black laces. It's perfect for everyday or any special occasion.

Featuring the new, improved split rubber outsole, this Mini Shoez is more shoe-like, providing even more protection while maintaining the flexibility and comfort little feet need for healthy foot growth as they begin to walk and start to cruise. The new outsole continues to provide a non-skid surface which helps protect your child from slipping and, like all Robeez Mini Shoez, this shoe provides an elasticized ankle, which helps shoes stay on your child's feet.

I love that these Mini Shoez offer a rubber outsole so that my very active son can wear these shoes outside without anything soaking through the bottom or ruining the shoes. They are still really comfortable and easy for him to walk in and I LOVE that they can be dressy or casual!

Buy It:

You can purchase all Robeez shoes online or at a local retail store.

Never Sacrifice Comfort for Style - Get NOBULL Shoes!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Are you still working towards your weight loss resolution??

I am right there with you and still on track! We can do it - I believe in YOU and I believe in ME!

Wanna know what helps me and my husband stay motivated to workout during the day...even when we are so tired? 

A GREAT PAIR OF SHOES!

A good, comfortable and supportive pair of running or shoes for working out is a must for staying motivated, protecting your feet and other body parts from hurting AND looking stylish!

But are you sick of changing your shoes every time you leave the gym? Or maybe you like to look stylish even while wearing comfortable shoes?

Then I have just the company and shoes for you! Let me introduce you to NOBULL!

NOBULL is a year old company started by two former Reebok executives – who wanted to create training shoes that can be worn in both the gym (or Crossfit Box) as well as outside the gym and still be stylish.

My husband suffers from really bad back pain so he really needs to wear a supportive shoe at all times. That is why he is loving his new ALYSSUM BASIC TRAINER shoes from NOBULL. He loves that he can look stylish while also having comfort and support for his feet!

These shoes feature a minimalist canvas upper with an athletic performance outsole. Casually handsome but unexpectedly powerful.

The outsole lug pattern was designed for multi-environment usage, allowing for an easy transition between inside and outside with the right blend of flexibility, traction and support.

The shoes did seem to run a little small but I think they are made to be snug. So, if you like it to be a little more loose, order a size bigger than normal. And don't let the traditional good looks fool you. This is a training shoe!

I love the concept of NOBULL and, as a Certified Athletic Trainer, I know how important wearing comfortable and supportive shoes is for your whole body! Never sacrifice comfort again for style - just get NOBULL shoes!

Buy It:

You can purchase all NOBULL products and shoes from the NOBULL website.
