Well, my five year old daughter’s feet must have grown a couple of sizes because her feet are now almost as big as her older sister! Thankfully, I found a used pair of Sorel’s that were given to us from their older cousins. They fit her feet and I was able to drop them off…
We cannot believe it but we have less then a month left of our Van Life. This 3 month trip has been such a great experience for our family. The time spent together exploring and relaxing has brought us all closer together. The last month has come with some new challenges. The cold weather has…
There are so many options and different pairs work better for different children. This can be such a challenge when trying to find the “right” pair for your child. But, in extremely cold weather there is no debate. Children have to wear mitts or the tears will start coming. In some cases it can be…
