Passing On Traditions and BucketFeet

Fall Love
Man... I remember being a kid and eagerly anticipating that moment my mom would get all the leaves raked into one giant pile.  That first jump into the fluffy mound of leaves was one of the best parts about fall.  As an adult, I have a different kind of appreciation for fall (hot tea, knit hats, and baked apples), but I still love it as much as when I was much younger.  Being a sentimental so-and-so, I'm trying to pass that love on to my kiddos.  Sure, I'm not as good in the yard-work department as my mom was (I rake almost never), but spending time in the colorful outdoors is a must this time of year.

Fall Love Fall Things Fall Love Fall Love Fall Love Fall Things Fall Love
Outfit Details:
Katie-- Dress: c/o Emerging Thoughts;  Tights: ModCloth;  Hat: thrifted;  Shoes: c/o BucketFeet
Hope-- Sweater: gift;  Jeans: Target;  Shoes: c/o BucketFeet





I don't wear sneakers as often as I probably should-- it takes a pretty snazzy pair to get me excited.  Our shoes from BucketFeet are definitely in that "snazzy/get me excited about sneakers" category.  They have over 10,000 artists in 35 different countries designing their footwear.  You can find styles for women, men, and kiddos, and their backstory is pretty interesting, too.  You can read about it here and meet some of the designers here, if you're interested!  They are a really neat company!

**BucketFeet is offering the first 25 Skunkboy readers to make a purchase 25% off their order with the code SKUNKBOY25.  You can see some of my favorite styles in the photo above.  Dots, Delta, Fat Sugar, Jason Atienza

Happy November, friends!  I can't believe it's here already!  xo.

  7. I love these photos! I loved jumping in the leaves, but apartment living is ruining that at the moment! As soon as I can, I will be raking up the leaves to a big pile.

  15. It is so adorable how You and Your daughter look like sisters. I swear this is really, really weird haha! But quite cute!
    And when it comes to traditions, I find Myself very taken by them. I didn't grow up with lots of them, unstable childhood and all, but I'm the mushy gushy emotional person that likes developing roots... So, I get it!
