In the later days of my Mads pregnancy, summer was in full force – even in SF – and my poor feet were swollen beyond belief that even my beloved flip-flops were getting uncomfortable. So, for about 30 minutes, I was entertaining the idea of buying a pair of crocs so that I wouldn’t have to go barefoot to the hospital.

So, we all know that they’re not the most beautiful shoe, but I was desperate. Maybe if I bought them in a super cute color, like fuschia, it wouldn’t be so bad. Yeah, right. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. And that was the end of those 30 minutes.

No offense to all you Croc wearers…bien sur.

Flash forward to present day, summer is here and Mads needs summer shoes pronto. At first she refused to try them on at the store, but now, I can’t get her to wear any other pair of shoes. (She’s got a pair on converse slip ons and a pair of vans.) She fondly calls them her “pink shoes”.

Now, I’m even thinking about getting her some jibbitz! She’d be over the moon if we got her these!
