Back to School Shoes with Keen Kids Coronado Suede Slip-On

  Keen Coronado Suede

I was looking for an everyday, go with anything school wear type shoe and I couldn't resist this suede slip on by Keen.    I love the elastic laces and the velcro closure.  In the words of Keen:  "The Kids Coronado Suede is bright, sporty and tough for the playground adventurer. Easy on/off adjustable hook and loop closure instep strap, non-marking rubber outsoles and suede uppers are as practical as they are fun. Recycled eyelets and vulcanized construction take a step in the 'green' direction."  I Agree!  Available from Keen Shoes

Also Available in Loganberry and Forest Night!

Nutcase All-Purpose Helmets with Attitude from Play Outdoors

Nutcase Graffiti Kids Helmet

I came across these helmets by Nutcase.  They are filled with personality -- maybe even some behavioral issues -- but they're bursting with character, so it's okay.  The helmets are multipurpose cycle/skate/roll/scoot, with low profile fit and 11 air vents.  Available from Play Outdoors.  If you like these, and you're into cycling, then you're going to love the kids cycling jerseys (coming in another post soon). 


My son loves the 'Urban Caution' helmet.  Which is your favorite?

I Survived Nipple Confusion - honestbaby Tee Give Away!

We have a winner!  Please check your email!

This contest is open to U.S. Residents 18 years and up through August 25, 2010

This contest is for one t-shirt at honestbaby.com

What a vast amount of parenting knowledge we have in this world at present.  With the assistance of our great internet and experts all over the planet -- as well as blogs galore, there surely could not be a subject on child rearing that doesn't expand our outlook and increase our skills as parents and soon to be parents. 

Truth be told...I think that if I had this abundance in wisdom 27 years ago, I may never have started motherhood.  With all the do's and don'ts, I fear I may have been far too overwhelmed to feel the least bit capable to start such a venture.  My mom's, mother-in-law and grandmother's advice were enough for me to sift through.  My gracious curtsies to you young mommies out there today -- each doing the best you can.  

Taking one imperfect moment after another and enjoying motherhood is what honestbaby is all about.  With all the responsibility we, as moms, hold on ourselves, it's so refreshing to see there is a place where you are free to be the mom you see -- with all your deficiencies. 

Founder, Jill Besnoy, started honestbaby from a frustration with the fable of fault-less parenting. Whether reading the Mommy Police or Story Time posts, you will find a candid summary of moms who have opened up their diaper bag in a confession of entertaining woes.  

honestbaby proudly offers t-shirts that exhibit this honest attitude with unguarded sayings.  "I survived nipple confusion", "Not sleeping through the night", and "Collicky, but cute" are just a few.  honestbaby also carries quality toys.


Quite frankly, I'm glad my mother sent me to school with crooked cut bangs and let me wear summer dresses in the wintertime.  Perfect is far over-rated.
