I recently teamed up with Freshly Picked to do a review and a giveaway on a pair of their moccasins.  I remember discovering Freshly Picked on Instagram before having Norah and shortly after seeing them on Shark Tank..  (I love that show by the way!) it's been pretty exciting to watch their business grow as much as it has!  Also, I have to mention how awesome their random airport giveaways are!  The owner, Susan will take a photo of herself in whichever airport she is in at the time  and post it on Instagram and whichever follower finds her first gets the free pair of moccasins.  Fun right?!  I absolutely adore businesses that give back and they truly do in such a fun way!  Now onto the review! 

The only pair of moccasins we own were a gift given to us when Norah was just months old so I do have something I'm comparing to.

My first thoughts right out of the package: 

"this packaging is ADORABLE!"

"oh my gosh these are SO cute" 

"and SOOO soft" 

"the color is amazing" 

"gosh these are soft" 

"I want a pair for myself!".. no, seriously!

These moccasins are incredibly soft and I love knowing that they will be so comfortable for Norah, without a doubt!  The pair we have are the Heirloom in cream and gold which in my opinion will go with everything.  After opening the package, I immediately understood why the price tag is higher than most moccasins on the market.  The quality is top notch and you can tell just by holding them in your hand.  I'm not saying that other moccasins on the market aren't good but I do believe in this case "you get what you pay for".  Compared to our pair of moccasins we already owned I can say that the structure and material on these from Freshly Picked are of way higher quality!

As an infant we didn't put Norah in shoes very often but I think moccasins in general are perfect for chubby baby feet.  Our next baby will for sure own a pair of Freshly Picked moccasins! (hint: to any family reading this! ;))  These come packaged in a drawstring bag which makes them feel so much more special and would make the most adorable gift!  Because they are light, breathable and you don't have to wear socks with them I feel like they are going to be perfect for the hot Texas weather that is soon to come.

Unfortunately, it has been rainy and yucky all week so Norah has only been able to try them out inside but I will add an update here as soon as we get to truly test out the durability.  I can say though that I have several friends that own a pair and they have said nothing but good things about theirs. 

I could keep going on and on about these moccasins as I'm sure you can tell!  I'll stop here though and tell you I'm SO excited to be giving away a pair on my Instagram account so head over to find out exactly how to enter!  Thanks for reading and I hope you have a blessed week ahead of you.
