We like to keep our weekends pretty low key around here. Our weekdays are pretty hectic so it’s a much-needed change of pace to have a couple of days where we just go with the flow and have wide-open schedules. One of our favorite activities is to go to the park and I love that we live just a few houses up from the local one in our neighborhood. While I spent the majority of the morning unpacking yesterday from our week-long vacation and trying to get the house back in order, the kids were ready for some outdoor time so I had them strap on their shoes and head out for a little fresh air! Can you tell that Dylan was already eyeing that park?
As we’ve been getting the kiddos ready to start school, a pair of sturdy shoes that could withstand some rough play time has been something Dylan has needed. When he took these Stride Rite Leepz shoes out of the box, the first thing he noticed was that they light up! I don’t know what it is about light-up shoes, but it gets Dylan excited like nothing else! He was literally jumping down the street in his new shoes as we walked over to the park!
I love seeing this little guy so excited (it was literally impossible to get a shot of him in focus as he was running so fast, lol!). While Dylan was over-the-moon ecstatic with his new light-up shoes, as a mom I’m also one to keep an eye out for comfort and quality. Stride Rite was one of the first shoes that Dylan wore when he was learning to walk and I just love how well-made they are! I was so glad to see that Zappos carried Stride Rite as I’ve been a long-time fan of their super fast shipping, easy 365-day return policy, and 24/7 customer service (I’ve even live chatted them at 1:00 am before and can definitely say they are amazing!).
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!
Do your little ones love light-up shoes? Are you a big fan of Zappos like I am?

What sweet photos! I saw a photo from this shoot on Instagram and it was so cute! I love this!
