when it comes to motherhood and child-rearing there is plenty of room for disagreement. Everything from baby names to sleeping schedules and snack choices can cause a stir in any given mommy-and-me circle. But one thing mommas everywhere can agree about is that Susan Peterson is making the cutest baby shoes on earth. Freshly Picked’s line of soft, high-quality leather baby booties are uniting everyone from tiger moms to earth mothers as babies across all borders sink their soft little pink feet into a rainbow of these cool and comfy mocs.

Take a gander at the rainbow of Freshly Picked baby moccasins and listen as Susan dishes on what keeps her inspired!
