OK, so I've been secretly holding these hostage from you all. I admit it. I'm beyond STOKED to bring you three AMAZING brands; I'm pretty sure if you haven't heard of one of these shops, you've been living on Mars or haven't learned what the word "App" means.

 
                                                            Shop at FreshlyPicked

Freshly Picked. I mean even my mother knows all about Freshly Picked moccs and she can't even work the Instagram app!! Freshly Picked has set the standards for shopping small and what you put on your babies feet. If your babies have chunky little feet like mine, than you have found yourself looking to stylish moccs to keep those toes warm. Instead of buying shoes that I can't get on past the toes, moccs are the way to go. You know that moment; when you just bought a brand new pair of Nike's for your babe and you realize that not only are Nike's super narrow...but you just wasted your money because they wont even get all the way on his feet. Literally. So, you do the best you can and get the pictures, right?? Yeah. And next time you go to Freshly Picked and love your baby's feet.

When I took these, it was one of first cold days in Florida. I wont lie, we skip shoes a lot here in Florida. They are pointless. Put them on, only to be ripped off. NOT THESE BABIES!! Can I tell you how happy I was when, not only could I get them ON his feet, but he wasn't getting them off! And those sweet little chubby feet were Warm. And stylin'.
 
 
 
For all you girl mamas, Freshly Picked has the most beautiful - I repeat BEAUTIFUL - prints for their girl's moccs. But while my ovaries hurt everytime I look at them, (I didn't know it was possible for my ovaries to hurt after having Irish Twins, but hey - life is full of surprises!) I'm a boy mom and sometimes it's harder to find boys' things.

Not with Freshly Picked. Look at these urban styled moccs that go so great with two of my absolute favorite shops VonVolo and HipKidApparrel.







Now, over the past year of discovering the handmade world; I've learned that shopping small is more than having quality handmade items for your precious little and breaking out of the blue-prince-elephant-mode that is so typical for baby boys. Its about the individuals behind the clothing. The heart and spirit that goes into owning your own business and seeing children wearing your work. The mamas behind these shops mean more to me than just a purchase, I read their blogs, rally together for their ideas and we band together as a community to help another in need. Oh and of course, help each other figure out how to get the most AMAZING shots possible.

And last, but not least....let me share a little sentiment with you. My first small shop love. I'm gonna be real with you guys, when I first got on Instagram, I knew NOTHING. But the first shop I fell in love with was VonVolo. I LOVED her vibe and everything about her style. She was having her fist brand rep search and I thought Oh. MY. God. I entered, of course. With a blurry cell phone picture, in a walker, with a generic Carter's onesie.....This is where you can laugh hysterically. It's ok. Because I didn't give up and a year later, as my overall EVERYTHING has much improved, I'm thrilled to work with such a talented woman.



All of these shops are insanely talented, full of passion and motivation, and a staple in the homemade community. Make sure you check our their social media for newsletters, discounts and giveaways!
