I am not going to lie. Clogs and I don’t get along.

Its not that I don’t see the practically in the rubbery-worn-nurse-betty clunkers, but I cant get past the design. Even if you tell me they are the most comfortable things you have ever worn, and let’s face it, you probably will.

So when Crocs approached me and wanted me to check out their shoes, I had to get on the phone with them first and say that….I dont like Clogs. They respected that.

But now I am changing my tone.

I am changing my tone from “I may not like clogs” to “I can still like Crocs”. Crocs have come a long way from its initial shoe launch and have developed into shoes that can also be respected in the fashion world, as well as in your closet. With Heels, Wedges, Sandals, Flip Flops, Boots, Flats, Slip-ons, and yes, even Clogs, there is sure to be a style that is perfect for your aching feet.

Crocs Tone

Right now Crocs are introducing their new “tone” line.

Perfect for you mama and you mamacitas.

Sandals, flip flops, flats and the infamous clog, you can get these new tone shoes in a variety of beautiful colors for your wardrobe.

My personal favorite are the Sandals. Starting now till about….October, I live in Sandals and it shows.

To celebrate “toning up” we are going to change our tone!  Over on the Crocs Facebook page they have started to change their tone by finding headlines that might bring you down and spinning them into a positive light.

For example, you can find this sweet crocs guy telling you about someones engagement gone wrong:

But once you scroll over the headline, he reappears with some positivity!

Here is something I am writing that is in a negative tone.

Ill entitle it:

If God Gives me a Son, Its Punishment for something I have done Wrong.

I don’t want a son because boys are stinky, dirty, and loud. Right now I have a perfect little princess that lets me fix her hair, put her in dresses and we can go shopping together. I have zero boy skills. I hate to be outside, I am not into sports, and I pity any boy that is stuck at home learning crafts with his mama all day.

Plus, lets not even get started on potty training. I would have no idea how to tell a boy to pee into a toilet, much less demonstrate. Ack! Oh, and that little fact that I married a boy….I know exactly what they are capable of.

Give me pigtails, pink, and sugar any day.

Kim from Accidental Mommies came in to “change my tone:”

Blue is beautiful!

Boys like trucks and dirt and loud noises, and they teach us to see the world different than girls do.  Tactile and interactive, they engage the world and get their hands dirty doing it.  They don’t care if their hair is messy, but they do like it when you get out the brush and the wax and spike it up and make them look cool.  And while they don’t like to shop for clothes, they do like when you buy them new ones with skateboards and plaid patterns on them.

Boys like to be the center of attention and teaching them things like cooking and crafts will help them to grow up to be well rounded and creative.  Taking boys out in public is easier too, especially at potty training age.  Putting a 2-3 year old girl on a large dirty public toilet is no fun, but with a boy, they just stand and aim – and they’ve probably watched daddy enough to know how to do it.

Having a little man to love and protect you is worth it all!
