Life with a New Walker & Freshly Picked {a&n Product Review}


For the past month or so, I've been busy chasing Acelyn around as she's quickly learned of taking her first steps to, no joke, running full sprint through the house, in the backyard, when we're out and about... this chick has no chill when it comes to moving and she knows what she wants!  I was completely compared for an early walker, as Nolan started extremely early at 9.5 months, yet even though Acelyn took a few extra months to start, she is a completely different type of new walker (which, I shouldn't be surprised... their personalities are 100% opposite just like their walking traits), and definitely keeps me on my toes all day long.


With a new walker comes new worries about safety; things they can get into, where they can and can't go, and what is keeping those tiny little feet safe, both inside and out.  Our love for Freshly Picked is no secret, as we've been wearing the brand since Nolan was a baby, and we continue our love affair for these moccasins through Acelyn's first years, too.  Not only are these moccs perfect for matching every outfit as early as newborn days, but they are our number one go-to for actual, wearable shoes that stay on, look cute, last forever and offer amazing support!



Especially for a new walker (or runner, in Acelyn's case), I love the durability of FP's leather, which stands up to long wear and cleans easily.  As a mom of two busy babes and the temper tantrums that come with the start of the "ones", I'm thankful for the flexibility and easy on/off that the elastic ankle has to offer, because no one has time for sitting when there's plenty of go-go-go-ing to do!  And, as we discovered when Nolan was a baby, it's hard to find well fitting shoes for a first time walker that stay on.  Freshly Picked nailed it with their fit of both comfort and success of keeping their moccasins on with zero hassle of laces, velcro, or slipping and sliding.  




Perhaps my favorite part of Freshly Picked is the ability for first time walkers, like Acelyn, to walk as if they actually are barefoot, which has a number of benefits to a growing baby, such as allowing little toes to grip while walking, muscle and ligament development, and assists with good posture and gait... all while keeping their feet safe and protected.  

And, when your shoe gives you a footprint of memories like these... how could you not love them!? 



I absolutely love that Freshly Picked can grow with our family through every stage of baby-hood, and I'm loving that the company is growing, too!  This year, they have a ton of new releases, including City Moccs, Sandals, and Mary Janes to add to the variety of soft sole moccasin designs.  We are loving the new Mary Jane style that Acelyn has been wearing recently, and continue to be so satisfied with the quality of their products.  

If you're looking to snag your first pair or have the FP obsession bug like us, don't miss out on their May Sale that is happening TOMORROW, May 23rd, at 10AM MDT.  The sale will last for 24 hours and includes Mary Janes and City Moccs (for the first time ever!) along with most other designs, and can be found at www.freshlypicked.com.
