Sneaks Peak


I was taking off my sneakers the other day and the whole back half of my right shoe suddenly tore away from the sole. Both of them have had little tears for a while, but any shoe store we could walk to is waaay out of out price range, and I was putting off ordering shoes online in European sizes when I couldn't try them on. But I bit the bullet and my "eco sneaks" came today, I like them, and they fit!
Aside from being inexpensive, they're actually really cool shoes. They're are made with all organic and recycled materials--so the bottoms are made from car tires! I've always wanted shoes soled with tires! I'm super excited.

In other news, we went to the science museum a couple weeks ago to test out our new stroller our friend gave us, but forgot to write about it. The museum had some really cool displays on space (like the Apollo 10 command module!) and technology.
My favorite exhibit was on renewable fashion. The white dress is made out of spun sugarcane, and the sweater was made by a machine that takes a 3D body scan and then makes your clothes to fit you specifically!

Paige was so good the whole time! I think she was a fan. Yay, science!

P.S.--On our way home from the museum, we saw this in the window of a Swedish store. Instead of a rocking horse, your kid can ride a rocking yak!
