The Dream of the 90s is Alive in Detroit

This post is sponsored by Rack Room Shoes, but all of the words and pictures and dramatics are mine.
This past weekend, we triple dipped.

Saturday was the Feast of the Assumption and a Baptism; Sunday was Mass. Guess which family hit up the Saturday vigil. Boom goes the dynamite.

But fall before and after the pride situation here. Trust me. I said that correctly.

Before heading to Mass, Sam be like, “Mmmm rancid milk from Wednesday. Glad I stashed this back here. Suh-lurps.”

We made it through relatively unscathed, but you can imagine the fear in my eyes when I KNEW I’d be dealing with the milky aftermath while Mike was on a business trip this week. Which fine. I didn’t have to deal (thank you, Bragg and DigestZen). But, the thought, you know. It exhausted me.

In order to avoid any further insanity, I’ve been taking the kids on daily, nightly, hourly walks downtown to tire.them.out. As well as their shoes.

Imagine my deeeelight when Rack Room Shoes offered to send the kidlets (and even zee husband) a new pair of kicks. They’ve got all of the brands you know and some you want to discover. My fam went sporty.

“Sam, stand up tall so I can see your outfit.”

“A motorcycle. A daddy like dat.”

Sam’s Choice: Skechers Drifters

Ellen’s Choice: Sweet Steps

Mike’s Choice: Converse Street Mid Lea

Also, this is the first time I actually remember wearing a decade’s fashion that is now back in style. But save yourself from the chunky black oxford heels, and go here instead.
