Favorite Native Shoes Dupe

Target Native Dupe
Target Toddler Boys’ Daker Water Shoes – Cat & Jack™ Navy

When I had Bennett, I started following a lot of “mommy bloggers.” These amazing women have given me so many ideas and inspired countless purchases. One item many raved about were Natives. I immediately bought a pair for B. I LOVED them! Unfortunately, my son has fat feet. So, no matter how many sizes I buy, his chunky feet are not fitting. Finally, I discovered Target Native dupes. The best part is, they fit B’s feet!

Complete honestly review: they do wear easily. The white part is just painted (I think that’s the correct term) over the navy, so that will wear off. Nothing white out won’t fix. Also, they’re half the price so you get what you pay for. I would gladly pay for real Natives, they just don’t work on my son’s feet yet.

Finally, how cute are the girls version?? Love!

Lake Weekend!

Every year my best friends and I head to Smith Mountain Lake for our annual girls’ weekend. Without fail, this is one of my favorite moments of the year every year. Only two of us still live in the same area so this trip is a great time to catch up in-person.

We also do fun dock photos each year. I am the self-appointed creative director, photographer, and editor. I cannot wait to share this year’s photos! Until then, I have our three previous photos.

Love the lake and all of you #smithmountainlake

Favorite New Product: Comfy Earrings

Faux Pearl Comfy Earrings

I am the worst about wearing jewelry. I go so long without wearing earrings that I am constantly re-piercing my ears. In an effort to stop that madness, I bought a pair of Comfy Earrings. Life changing. I now just leave these in 24/7 and they are so comfortable to sleep in!

I will for sure be buying more pairs. I’m starting the campaign to replace all earrings with the comfy earrings technology. There is no reason not to now.

They have a TON of options on their website. I bought mine on Amazon, but the same pearls are currently on sale for $22 on their website: https://comfyearrings.com/shop/the-pearl-comfyearrings/
