I love the layout! I am with you - practical shoes are key. But I am embarressed to say that... I don't know what keens are! LOL! Off to go google them. But I live in FL., land of the flip flop so I don't often branch out and I bet my arches are cursing me for it. Anyway, hello! And nice start! Congrats on the new blog! I love the layout!

Despite our best efforts to encourage the Robert Frost approach to life, our daughter chose pink (as she does for almost everything including the paint color for her bedroom in our recently purchased house). Our son didn't really pick the color, but his are a great shade of green and he rarely lets them leave his feet (he would spend every waking hour outside if we let him). My wife - the Down-to-Earth Mama herself - opted for a brick red color. I have yet to be swayed into the Keen fad, but it is certainly tempting. Seeing as I can show up to work in nearly anything (often a t-shirt and jeans or shorts if the weather permits), I'm considering the sandal angle. But it would go against my one-pair-of-shoes-at-a-time rule, so I'm ambivalent. If I broke down, I'd lean towards a dark green pair. I'd also like to point out that while my wife is currently enjoying shoe-style dominance in our household, I was first to achieve footwear emulation years ago when our daughter had a pink pair of Merrells (just sayin').
