Crocs Back to School Freebie

Last year you could not get me to even say the word “Crocs”. I associated them with rubber hospital shoes and no one was going to change that point of view, no way, no how.

Then I got introduced to Crocs Tone Sandals and they have not left my feet in over 3 months. In fact, they are the only shoes I have worn almost the entire summer; they even traveled with me out of the country!

So recently when I had an opportunity to check out their newest kids line, I figured it was time to put away my predispositions. Crocs keeps slamming the ball out of the ball park when it comes to their latest shoes and I wanted to give them a chance to impress me again.

I have to admit, I’m in love.

Crocs has surpassed my predated opinion of rubber and plastic and moved on to fashion and fun.

BACK TO SCHOOL SHOES

With school just around the corner, us in a little over a WEEK, no doubt you are out there searching for the right shoes for your kids this season.  Charlotte is such a shoe hound and while she cant wear these shoes with her uniform, she is thrilled to be able to come home, put on something fun and funky, and run around the neighborhood.

All I had to do was take them out of hte package and sit on the stairs and the minute she saw them, on her feet!~ While we haven’t had them long enough to claim durability, they are super light weight and Charlotte told me they were “soft” when she walked.

She wanted to model them out for you…

Charlotte is wearing the Crocs Kids Hover Metallic Sneak in Purple and White:

You can see Abby sporting the pink version of this shoe!

Now right now Crocs is gearing up for their own Back to school Specials and giving out an awesome freebie you must have!

Small Talk Six: Those School Girl (or Boy) Days

smalltalksix3001Want to join in?  Go here to learn how and  to view the weekly list Small Talk Six topics for 2009.

Today’s topic is “6 things you loved or hated about school.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

 There were things I loved and hated about school from grade school all the way through college.  It was fun thinking back and reminiscing. 

Here are my six:

1)  I LOVED shopping for school supplies!

2)  I HATED buliies, but I LOVED that there were always people willing to stand up for me even though I always stood up for myself.

3)  I HATED the pressure to do well from my parents.  A “B” might as well have been an “F” to them.

4)  I HATED taking tests, even if it was something I knew I could ace. 

5)  I HATED physical education.  Is there anyone out there more uncoordinated than I am?  Highly unlikely.

6)  I LOVED making some long-life friendships, some of which have endured all these years.

Now go post your own list on your blog (don’t forget to grab a button) and then leave the direct link to your post on Mr. Linky.  Then go check out everyone else’s Small Talk Six lists and leave them a comment so they know you stopped by.  If for some reason Mr. Linky isn’t there, just leave your links within a comment.
