Health and comfort are the most important factors when choosing footwear. It’s important to remember that shoes can promote the development of healthy bones, muscles and balance (or hinder it if you choose the wrong shoes). Soft Star offers handcrafted leather minimalist shoes in tons of fun styles and colors so they are definitely the way to go whether you’re looking for footwear for little ones but also for grown-ups. They allow your feet to more freely and naturally. Take a look at Soft Star’s adorable Child Classic shoes with Velcro. They are as stylish as they are easy to put on and comfortable! If you have a special design or color combination in mind, you can even DIY your perfect shoes and Soft Star will handcraft it just for you! See my full Soft Star Shoes Review to see the shoes that I had created. My review also includes a giveaway that will run through 11/29/2014.

Zutano is an amazing brand that offers colorful clothing for babies and toddlers (up to size 4T). They also have a great selection of clothing accessories as well as toys and nursery decor, in all in their signature super cute prints! Zutano is one of my favorite clothing brands for my daughters because their clothes are made of soft and luxurious cotton which can withstand many washes without fading or stretching. The cut of their clothes are perfect: stylish yet practical and comfortable. Their mix and match collections make it easy to create outfits and you can even combine pieces from different seasons and the colors will still match.

The Original Muckboot Company Hale Boots. I was so happy to be introduced to the Original Muckboot Company this year. I used to think of Muckboots as being similar to rainboots but they’re not just for spring, rain and mud. They make great winter boots because the neoprene material makes them hug the lower caves to keep snow and air out and warmth in. They are waterproof and are rated to keep you comfortable from sub-freezing temperatures up to 65 degrees! I have an adult pair that I love so I would highly recommend checking out the kids versions (such as the Hale boots pictured) for your children. Available in sizes for kids ages 1-12!

EDDA USA Disney Frozen Hairstyles or Disney Frozen Hairstyles books. If you know a little girl who gets bored of the same old pony or piggytail hairstyles day after day, these books provide tutorials for fancy hairstyles that are suitable for young girls’ hair. I have a niece who always wants her hair done up, but I just am not that creative with making new hairstyles for her so I know these books will be perfect for her. The Frozen book has 28 hairstyles and the Disney Princess book has 40 styles!

My 1.5 year old niece has her ears pierced. With her being so young, we try to make sure her earrings have locking backs to lower the risk that she gets the backs off and/or loses the posts if they do come off. We also prefer to get a few pair of high quality earrings for her to change out instead of going with cheaper ones to avoid the risk of her skin getting irritated around the piercings. Wth her being so young, I wanted the earrings to be specifically made for little ears and I found the Chanteur Designs multi colored butterfly and petite pink heart earrings to be gorgeous, high quality earrings that were the perfect size for little toddler ears but they also have earrings for older girls as well.

Giveway: $25 Judanzy gift card. Ends 12/02/2014.

Giveaway: Peppercorn Kids product of their choice. This is a US giveaway and it will end on 12/02/2014.
