This month, I am kicking off a series on my blog called, Tiny Love List, where I will be sharing a few of my favorite products on the blog and ending with a giveaway of all the products reviewed. Now becoming a mommy of two, I have a better idea of products that are a must-have and ones that I could have done without. This months theme is: “Bringing Home Baby” as I share some of my must-haves for newborns from some amazing shops that we love to support.

I feel honored to start this series with one of our favorite products that we have used and loved for the last couple of years: Freshly Picked. I can list many reasons why we love our Freshly Picked moccasins, especially as Adelyn has owned a pair from size 1 to her current size 5.
- Great for beginner walkers
- They never fall off
- Easy to put on and a great shoe to teach your child how to put their shoes on
- Easy to take off
- Lightweight and durable
- Stretch a bit to fit for a longer period of time
- Many colors to choose from
I still remember the first pair I bought for Adelyn, size 1 in the color copper, and I can’t wait for Emery to be able to wear them again soon. However, Adelyn didn’t fit into her size 1 moccasins until she was about 4 or 5 months old. I remember thinking; I wish there were a smaller size for her to fit into the first couple of months. Then came crib mocs, right as I found out I was pregnant with Emery.
Freshly Picked has recently introduced the crib mocs, size 0. I was so excited to purchase a pair for Emery to wear with her going home outfit. So here are some reasons why we love the crib moccs and why they need to be on your bringing home baby list.
A Shoe From the Start
I love that Emery has been able to wear a pair of shoes that fit from the moment she was born. They were just a little big on her at first, but now at almost 3 months she has been wearing them almost every day and still fits into them. They are also made with softer leather than the larger sizes which I love as I put her sweet little feet into them.
Photo Props
I loved finding shoes that matched Emery’s going home outfit, and as I take photos of her now that she’s growing it’s fun to add this cute shoe to accessorize. The size 0 pair of shoes can also be a fun way to announce you are expecting, a gender reveal, or even to use as a prop with your maternity photos.
A Keepsake
I will always treasure her first pair of shoes that she wore and they will be a great keepsake to put in her memory box. My mother still has her first pair of shoes, which happen to be a pair of tiny moccasins, and she loves to get them out to show my sister and me. Holding onto your first pair of shoes is a great tradition to keep in the family.
Better Than Socks
Crib moccasins don’t fall off like socks do. I have a hard time finding socks that will keep Emery’s feet warm and also stay on. Instead, I have just been putting her crib moccasins on her because they have an elastic band that holds the shoe perfectly on her tiny feet. They keep her feet warm in cold weather while not overheating her feet in the heat.
Multiple Colors
I love that crib moccasins seem to be becoming more popular as Freshly Picked continues to add more colors to this line of shoes. For the price, you can’t go wrong with buying a few pairs to go with all those adorable newborn outfits. I absolutely love the new colors, rose gold, cashmere, and salt water taffy, that were just added.
Freshly Picked has created a shoe that can grow with your child from the start. These moccasins will always be a favorite for both of my girls as they go through their fun stages of life – from birth to rolling, to crawling, to walking, and to running and climbing. We will always love our Freshly Picked moccasins.
