Kids Shoes

My philosophy on kids shoes is really simple: pick a few classic styles that are comfy for your kids, and buy them in several colors that will match with everything. Ralph wears Vans, Janie & Jack, and of course, Ralph Lauren. Vivienne loves her new Miron Crosby boots & anything from Jojo Mommy; Jojo Mommy is one of my go-to places for kids clothes and shoes in Dallas (they ship anywhere in the US!). I’ve also linked some of our favorite picks for kids shoes on Amazon here. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive list of the “classics”- the brands and shoes that my kids and I love!

Teacher Gifts

Is it just me, or did this school year absolutely fly by? I feel like it was just yesterday that we took our “first day of school” pictures, and now all of a sudden we are about to start summer break. Ralph had a great year in Pre-K 4, and Vivienne loved her first year in Pre-K 2. Their teachers are all amazing, and I truly love searching for the perfect end-of-year teacher gifts. This year, we had 13(!) teachers between the two kids, and I am so happy with what we decided to go with. Each teacher received a rattan tote with their name embroidered on it, as well as a pack of Paper Mate pens (every teacher loves these) and a Starbucks gift card (even if they don’t drink coffee, Starbucks has lots of other yummy drinks!). I also included a little note signed from our family in each tote, and then I wrapped them all up with some simple clear wrap and tied it all together with navy ribbon, which perfectly matched the names on the totes. Overall, I am so happy with the way they turned out, and I hope that Ralph and Vivienne’s teachers know how thankful we are for each of them.
