Here is my little guy Ash rocking his TOMS.  That big smile is thanks to one of our cats Chewy appearing around the corner, thanks Chewy :)

Did you that TOMS is committed to match every pair of shoes purchases with a new pair given to a child in need - One for One!  TOMS also have range of TOMS Eyewear and once again for every pair purchased, TOMS will help give sight to a person in need by providing prescription glasses, medial treatment and/or sight saving surgery.  

To date, TOMS has given over 60 million pairs of shoes to children in need and has helped restore sight for over 400,000 people around the world. You can read more about this on their website.

Such a great cause that is really making a difference to many people.  

You can find TOMS in Australia at Hype DC and Myer and of course online.

I realised that the last photos of Ash on my blog he has long hair! Well we finally took the plunge and got it cut a couple of months ago just before he turned three in late March. Yes, THREE!  I love his new do, and cannot believe how handsome and grown up he looks!!!  Ash was obviously chuffed with his new look too as when I asked if I could take it photo he said "Stand here mummy?" and promptly stood in place and grinned his head off!   Now that is unusual, normally taking pics of Ash is a little more challenging with the 'fast motion' setting of the camera and my running shoes most certainly on. 

On another note, I had no idea how hard it would be to style! The first time I used wax in his hair I sent him off to childcare looking like a piedgeon had pooped in there and tried to make a nest.... :/
am improving thankfully ;)  Hats off to you mums who have got this figured out- all hints and tips welcome.

I will point out Ash's Saltwater sandals as I think they are fantastic. I have exactly the same pair so can vouch for the comfort factor.  Since we got them from Bstore in December, Ash has worn these most days over the last 5 months, and everyday during the Summer months, and they are still going strong.  Some might balk at the price tag but given how well these have worn I would definitely recommend them, great value for money!

Here I am with my mini-me, my two year old son Ash, and wearing our matching Salt Water sandals!  I have to say I love these sandals, made from leather they mold to your feet for comfort and fit, and they LOVE getting wet!!  Toddlers LOVE getting wet too so it has to be perfect toddler sandal.  You can also throw them in the washing machine, these sandals are that tough.

Salt Water sandals have been around for over 70 years, which proves they are such a classic style. And Ash and I are both getting heaps of wear out of them. Available from Bstore in a range of neutral colours- black, navy, tan, silver, gold, and white.  I went for the tan for both of us, but must admit it was a tricky choice.

Size wise, I followed the size guide on the Bstore website and that worked out just right.

I think it's pretty obvious I'm a big fan of the Ray Ban Aviator, so it will be no real surprise that this style is my first pick for my two year old son Ashley too! And how cool does he look in his little Ray Ban Juniors, like a real little rock star!! #longhairdontcare

Master 2.5 and his shiny new Adidas originals thanks to Get The Label.  Absolutely my go to spot for Ash's brand name shoes.  I love that these Adidas are the same as the original style released in 1970!  But of course updated to be lightweight, breathable and cushioning. These also have a great system so you know you have got the right fit with a removable innersole with markers.  Makes life so much easier when your little person can't tell you if the shoe is feeling just right.

I realised is has been a couple of months since Ash has guess starred on my blog.  He is now 2.5 years old and just a bit of a dude don't you think! Especially in these very cool Timberland boots, how much attitude to they add to his outfit!!

I have been eyeing off these wheat colour Timberland boys boots for Ash for a while but felt I couldn't justify the cost...i.e. $150 at the store I looked at on Chapel St.  But at Get The Label the price was just too good, only $66 which makes for an incredible saving for such an iconic boot!

I can tell you Ash has been through so many cheaper shoe options from Kmart, BigW, Cotton On, etc but they really don't cut the mustard.  They wear through very quickly and I am constantly second guessing myself on the fit and whether they provide the necessary support.  With that in mind I recently had Ash properly measured and bought a pair of Clarks shoes, which became his everyday shoe.  I can tell you that those shoes cost a lot more than these boots, but the price is well worth it to have peace of mind knowing you are looking after your little ones feet.  Also now that I know Ash's foot size I have more confidence buying online, and buying online at Get The Label means you can buy well made, supportive shoes for your little one that will go the distance at a good price!
