Limited Sizes of Robeez On Sale at Totsy Now!

Robeez undoubtedly makes wonderful shoes for wee little ones. Their shoes are, of course, very adorable, but they are also high quality and soft or flexible-soled to help pre- and early walkers gain confidence. What they aren't always, necessarily, is cheap, and it can definitely be hard for some to spend $30 on a pair of "booties" that fits into the palm of your hand. But boy, if you're lucky and can find your kids' shoe size available, Totsy is making it a whole lot easier right now with their Stride Rite Sale (Stride Rite recently acquired the brand.)

*Be sure to head on over before everything is sold out! Sizes are very limited and the sale ends soon.*

Robeez Little Sheriff

Robeez line of super-comfortable, leather indoor/outdoor shoes are perfect for hard floors when your little one is just beginning to walk. Being able to feel the ground through the soft, flexible shoe sole helps so much with balance and the shoes keep little socks and feet clean, unlike poor Robeez-less Andrew's feet when he was smaller. They also have a textured, suede sole to prevent against slipping. Needless-to-say, our next little guy will be getting some Robeez regardless if I have to pay full price!

On my shoe-shopping wishlist from this sale--and not available in our sizes, unfortunately--are the Robeez Lil Sheriff cowboy boot ($16; originally $33) and the Robeez Brown Sandal ($15; originally $32).

Robeez Cozy Bird; $12.95 at StrideRite.com

So, head on over to Totsy now to see if you can snag a pair before they are gone. Or, if you're looking for a pair of Robeez in a size or style that is not listed at Totsy today, be sure to check out Striderite.com or Robeez.com. I've seen Robeez on-sale for as low as $12.95 or $14.95 on these sites. That's a very good price for an incredibly useful and stylish shoe!

I Love Mommy Necklaces!

Simple Long Mommy Necklace in
Twilight

I finally treated myself to a beautiful necklace from Mommy Necklaces and I am so impressed! My first Mommy Necklace is everything it claimed it would be--stylish, incredibly well-made, and irresistible (yet safe) for babies and toddlers. Not to mention that it was reasonably priced!

The gorgeous Simple Long necklace at right only cost me $28 including Mommy Necklace's standard $2 shipping cost. And every dollar that I spent before shipping is converted into a reward point that adds up to a Mommy Necklace gift card at 100 points!

Mommy necklaces are colorful bead creations made from USA-manufactured acrylic beads that have been lab-tested for safety. They are meant to be used as a distraction for teething or hip-held babies--they are not meant to be teethed on or left alone with children--while still being stylish enough for evening or everyday wear. Most of the necklaces can be customized, from adding dangling donut charms, accent strands, or matching bracelets and earrings to altering the necklace length or beading structure. And they are guaranteed from breakage and can be re-stranded or altered at any time for a small fee.

Flourish Mommy Necklace in
Diamond

Aside from being pretty, I love that the necklaces are substantial, but do not feel heavy on. You can also tell that the cording used is very sturdy and will not break, as Andrew has already tested by using the necklace  as a seatbelt for his backhoe, unclasping and clasping it a million times, etc. The only change I would make is this: each necklace has a sturdy black break-away clasp. For the lighter colored necklaces, I would love if the clasp could be white or even clear.

I would definitely recommend you get over to Mommy Necklaces and check out their collection. They are a great baby shower gift as well as a gift for yourself. Also, be sure to friend them on Facebook--I just got an awesome deal on the Flourish necklace in diamond (my birthstone!) because I learned it was on-sale via FB. The folks at Mommy Necklaces also generously give away extras and will let you know online, so you'll be wise to follow them now. Happy shopping!

P.S. Don't let my love for blue fool you, Mommy Necklaces has many other colors available!
