Today I spent some time playing with green sprinkles since St. Paddy’s Day is right around the corner.
There was also some of my favorite melted chocolate involved.
The day was off to a good start for me.
It was also off to a good start for Skylar because she got new Jambu shoes yesterday.
They’re perfect for warmer weather, and for San Digeo weather in general, because her feet can breathe but there’s still a closed toe and an eco-friendly recycled rubber sole.
The best part is that I don’t hear, “Mom, my shoes came untied” because there are no laces. Love that.
Jambu makes adult shoes and also has a vegan shoe line if that’s important to you and their styles are cute.
Skylar’s mail-order shoes were a much better success than my last attempt. However, I was visited recently by the Fairy Hobmother and received an unexpected Amazon gift card so I can’t complain.
I also can’t complain because I am loving the longer days. That extra hour is just glorious.
Time to munch on an “Egg”-in-a-Nest Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites (No-Bake, Vegan, Gluten Free) while I figure out what I’m making for dinner.
Have you gotten any new shoes lately?
Unfortunately, no, I haven’t.
I tried but that wasn’t successful and so I have been wearing my Rainbow Sandals (year-round) and these Nike’s pretty much exclusively. At least I’m comfy.
Does the extra hour of sunlight in the evenings make a difference to you?
Oh it makes me so happy! I love everything about it from helping with dinnertime food photography to feeling overall productive and being able to fit more in the day to just being happier in general because it means spring is in the air.
I’d much rather it stay lighter later in the day than be lighter at 6am. I don’t care about light at 6am, but light at 6pm? That’s fabulous.
Thanks for the Practically Raw Vegan Cookbook Giveaway entries
For your grown up tootsies you should try J-41 shoes. I LOVE them. I wore my first pair every day for a year through snow, sleet, rain, with dresses, pants, on airplanes, in cars, on the T… I can’t recommend them enough – I killed them! But they are super comfy, completely darling, and quite sturdy… (held up through a Boston winter!)
I got a pair of Jambu shoes last year. Loved them so much I had Macy’s deliver a second pair from their Kennewick WA store in black for me because my local store ran out. They are super comfy and I get lots of compliments on them.
Good to know they’ve held up really well for you!
I haven’t bought new shoes in a good long while. I think my last pair were for a wedding last year. I actually would rather to not have the extra hour of light. It feels too strange eating dinner when it’s light out. I always feel like I need an extra snack before bed for some reason. Totally weird!
Cuuuuute shoes!!! They remind me of my Keens, which Iove in the summertime!! Skylar will look adorable in those shoes!
I absolutely LOVE having the extra hour of light in the evenings. Now when I arrive home from work it is still sort of light out. Looking forward to that time increasing over the next few months! I am waiting for warm weather to get some new shoes…I can’t wait!
I just scored me a pair of Chuck Taylors. I bought the Junior size and saved $18 bucks.
YESSSS.
haha
Skylar’s shoes are adorable! good for her and I am not usually a fan of daylight savings but I’m so much more used to driving myself everywhere now and I’d rather have the light at night and not waste it on the commute!
so totally yes I’m loving it, plus I get some daylight at night. Only downside is we’ve been studying stars so they are not really out and bright until JJ goes to bed.
trade-offs right??
xo
Nice shoe score$$ :)
I wish I had some money for new shoes….giveaway idea? ;)
those are cool shoes! my little big foot needs new shoes for summer so i think i’ll take a looksee over there!
Hope you find something that works for your lil one.
I am really enjoying the longer days. I am so much more productive after work and the warmer temps have been a great excuse to swap my indoor workouts for nice, long walks with our dogs. We all need that fresh air!
You know my shoe shopping situation…I spent about 90 minutes (gah!) at DSW last weekend–why is it that shoes seem to fit in the store but then when I bring them home, plan to wear them, they don’t seem to fit?!
Girl we have the same feet issues. Seriously! Feel your pain!
