All That Glitters

Where the Heck is Wyoming?

There’s a New Shoe in Town

by | Kid Style

If I see another baby wearing those ubiquitous soft-leather soled shoes, I may lose it. Sure the fairy princesses and blue songbirds are kind of cute, but let’s face it, they’re getting overplayed. And if you’re anything like me, it’s kind of...
