Going to a holiday party this year? You’re going to need some shoes. That’s where I come in. For the giant family gathering where you will spend most of the time chasing tiny nieces and nephews around the living room with a nerf gun, because you want them to revere you as the awesome aunt … Read more
I know that right now, for many of us, hot and dry weather seems like a dim and distant possibility, but I believe that the time will come*, and when it comes we are going to be wanting to spend as much time as possible in sandals. I also believe that Nordy’s has a pretty … Read more
