My New Favorite Shoes

Skechers

It’s not every day that you’ll see a review for shoes here on TMH, but I love these so much I had to share.  I even took a picture of them :). Now that’s love. I have mentioned before that I have quite possibly the widest feet known to man – when I shop for shoes I usually end up buying them simply because they fit.

Last week I was doing some last minute shopping for a trip to Disney World and while looking for some tennies for my 4 year old I caught a glimpse of an “extra wide” sticker on a box of Skechers walking shoes.  I grabbed my size, slipped them on and instantly fell in love.  I seriously did a happy dance.

I bought them without looking into the details, but when I got home I noticed they were machine washable, have a sock liner, and all sorts of other great things going on.  Super light, with a knit fabric top, and they come in all sorts of colors.  Really the perfect Summer shoe.

That day I wore them next door to a yard sale and had 4 different women either asking about them, or commenting on how much they love theirs.  Then at Disney World I was asked daily if I liked them because they had seen them around.

Maybe they are already all the rage and I am just jumping on the boat – I have never had anyone ask me about my shoes, much less walking shoes.  Have you heard of them?

Anyhoo, just in case you were in the search for some great Summer tennies, I thought I might share.  It looks like a lot of online stores have already sold out of them, including Sketchers themselves.  I did a quick search for Sketchers GOwalk Shoes and found some places that still had them in stock.

I bought mine at Kohls, and here are the ones I bought  (in wide width).  I think I might run back to my local store and pick up another pair :)  I think Academy Sports is carrying them too, maybe more colors?

This is not a sponsored post, I just love ‘em, and I thought you might too!

No Boil Veggie Lasagna

I love lasagna, but I hate having to boil the noodles and dirty one more pot just to make it. It is so time consuming that way. My sister-in-law changed my life when I saw her making lasagna with uncooked  noodles. She said that as long as you only do two layers of noodles and they are [...]
