More Than Monday

Every pair of sweet little feet is an inspiration to me! Look at how those little toes flex and bend to grip and balance as they walk.

This is what inspires me to create Mini-Mocs! See how the supple soft premium leather flexes easily with every natural movement of baby's walking feet. I never imagined that those tiny little toes could bring such BIG INSPIRATION! 


Inspiration comes in different ways on different days for all of us...
...What inspires you?

Fun Facts Friday


Bounce your baby happy!!! 

Studies have shown that babies love to be bounced and that movement itself helps improve a baby's sense of balance and their ability to perceive movement. By gently bouncing a baby you're stimulating the vestibular system which is the system in our body that give us a sense of spacial orientation and allows us to react automatically to a change in elevation, direction & space. Bouncing a baby can actually help them improve motor skills like crawling and walking before they are even physically able to do them.
Researchers have also proven that even during independent play a baby can benefit from a bouncing movement. For example, a baby in a jumper seat learns that when they bends their legs and push off they can make herself move upward. When you are bouncing your baby or even a young child always use caution using only gentle & fluid bouncing motions.
