Obvious, right? Like tying a shoe makes sense when you have a busy toddler, who has things to do and people to see?  Well, I liked the Red Keds.  They are so cute.  And surprisingly, red goes with everything.  So I went on, morning after morning, putting on Thomas’s shoes while crawling on my knees… read more »
