Sock n Boots are best friends and the stars of the “Sock n Boots“ book series. They are “the two most loveable pieces of footwear around”.
The goal of the books is to transform story time into an interactive bonding time.
Each Sock n Boots story begins with a question. Then through the antics of the characters, a lesson is taught that answers the question. Once the story is finished the question is posed again which opens the door for additional discussion and interaction.
We hope that children, as well as adults, grow to love the Sock and Boots characters and the stories they tell. A love of reading starts at a young age and Sock n Boots are on a mission to make sure that children associate fun with reading, and learn valuable life lessons along the way.
Or find us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/
My son loves this book- we call him Boots and Toots, I don’t even remember how that started (and he wants me to change his bloggy name to Boots, LOL- I told him maybe….)
A cute book about friendship is always a great bedtime story. There are three stories, or you can purchase a Sock n Boots compilation book with all three stories with all three stories in it. We have feelings week coming up at the Pre-K and I think the kids will really enjoy this one. Have fun, and happy reading!

Have you ever had one of “those days”, where no matter what you put on, your undergarments are not helping your situation? Perhaps you are showing a roll or two you wish you weren’t, a panty line, etc? Not that I personally ever have days like that! (cough, cough)
OK, so I do. Recently, in fact, and then I remembered- I have some beautiful undergarments from Naomi & Nicole Intimates that help “smooth things out” so to speak. 😉
Have you ever visited http://www.cupidintimates.com? If not- I suggest that you check it out. With over 80 years of making women’s clothing, they know what they are doing. Lovely, functional, and also PRACTICAL- you can wash most things in the washing machine, with only very few exceptions.
There are a variety of colors and styles to choose from, so no matter what outfit you are trying to “match” or what body part you want to smooth out or shape- Naomi & Nicole will have that perfect piece. Or pieces!
So- ok, yes, you can read all about them on their site- but how do they hold up???
Nicely! I am happy to say that both of my “intimate wear” garments survived the flood. Why? Because they were with me in Ohio, and as you know I rushed home when I heard the storm was coming, making it back just hours before it hit.
They are soft and not constricting, which I so hate and will not continue to wear things I am not comfortable in. Fashion, shmash-ion. If it hurts, I’m not wearing it! LOL. They also have a fabulous guarantee– only made by those that are sure about and can stand by their product, true?
Nope- not me, hehehe. None of you want to see that one! Website images to the rescue of my dear readers, who would love to keep their eyesight! 🙂
While I didn’t do yoga in these Microfiber Highcut panties, I do have to say they didn’t “show” through my skirt or shorts, and that they are indeed comfortable and didn’t ride up. Here is some product information for you-
“This waistline panty will stay in place all day long, even while exercising. It’s so lightweight you’ll forget you’re wearing it. Our breathable Wonderful Edge® silicone finish, placed at the legs, prevents wedgies and eliminates VPLs. This revolutionary panty won’t ride up and will remain invisible under your clothes.”
I liked them so much, that I am going to try out a few new pairs from the site. I have to get new underwear (Thanks, Irene!) anyway, so I thought I would get a few nice ones from Naomi & Nicole since I know I like them, and try a few other styles out.
Nice, yes? No matter what size your chest is, you can fit into this shaper. Best part? It shapes your thighs, too! Yippeee!!!!
I love that it’s soft, and shapes and smooths instead of strapping you in and keeping you from sitting and inhaling, UGH. With a chest my size, it can make shopping for undergarments (and everything else!) difficult, so I really appreciate this open chested idea.
Here is the product description-
“This single-ply, lightweight garment is made of high-modulus Tactel® fabric designed to provide a smooth look for all-day wear. Wonderful Edge® at the leg holds the garment in place. Wear it with your own bra for a custom fit. Choose it for tummy control, waist shaping, and thigh control.”
Again- there is a reason that these were with me! I wanted to look nice in my dresses when I was meeting people, and not only did I look nice- but I felt confidant, and that’s really half the battle anyway.
One of you will win one panty and one shapewear item 🙂
