Journey Barefoot

Do you Journey Barefoot?

I know not that long ago I posted saying I was getting started with Bamboo Pink. Well.... not so much. I wasn't crazy about the jewelry once the pictures started coming out, so it was hard for me to get excited about something I didn't really like.

But this... THIS I can be excited about!

I've signed on with Barefoot Books, and if you're not familiar with them, then you NEED to check out my website, especially if you're a parent. Barefoot Books sells a collection of beautiful childrens gifts, toys and books! My daughter loves to read, so I thought this would be a great way to keep her engaged, while also getting her to think about the world around her. Many of Barefoot's books are written with the world in mind, so they are often available in different languages, about different places, animals, and so on.

They invigorate the imagination with their illustrations and stories. My daughters favorite is I Took The Moon For A Walk. The first time we read it, she talked about that book for DAYS. It was amazing to see a book take such a hold on her!

So, consider this an open invitation for you to come visit my website, and see what Barefoot Books can offer you!
