One For One

While we’re talking shoes…

TOMS is a remarkable company giving away one pair of shoes to kids in need for every pair they sell. Yes. One for one. How cool is that?

This story is pretty amazing. People laughed at this guy and told him he was crazy to think that he could give so much away. Now he has given away thousands of shoes on Shoe Drops and inspired droves of people to jump on the helping bandwagon. If I were 20 again I’d be the first in line to be a TOMS Vagabond. Heck, maybe I still have time, they could nickname me grandma!
Really, how can you read about and see this stuff happening and not want to join the movement?! Or some movement. For all the bad in the world, there is always so much good. 
Thanks Blake Mycoskie. You freakin’ rock.

A Walk In Someone Elses Shoes

This was an unplanned photo I took with a group of people I hung out with recently. Clearly from our shoes choices we all have different tastes.
From Crocs to sparkly heels, we all got along famously. Why? Because cool and fun people come in all varieties. Variety is the spice of life right?
Here’s to putting a dash of variety in your day!

The Mother Of All Coffee Cakes

Wow. 

That’s all I can really say about the warm homemade coffee cake at Jesters Cafe’ in Wilmington, NC. I am all about coffee cake and can tell you this was some of the best.

Jesters is an adorable little house fixed up with tables inside and out on the porch. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious and the staff is so friendly and laid back they make you want to stay all day. Now that I’ve found it, this will be a spot I plan meetings and hang on a regular basis. 
I’m a little disappointed they don’t have a website I can share here, but I guess it’s more fun to pay a real visit and see for yourself anyway! Here’s some info. to help you find your way.
Did I mention I recommend the coffee cake?
