Chooze Shoes as seen on Fox 5

by Nicole Connerley

CHOOZE Shoes were started by a family because their daughter refused to wear the same shoes. Everyday she without fail grab two different shoes and put them on. Knowing her daughter loved this Sharon started Chooze so all kids could mix and match their shoes! Sharon wanted to embrace her daughter’s creative spirit and create a company that would inspire kids and help them tap into their creativity and confidence. CHOOZE was created to serve as a daily reminder to kids to celebrate what makes them unique, to think different, and to be confident in whom they are.

This morning we were happy to share the CHOOZE Shoes line with views on Fox 5 San Diego. The news anchor Shally is expecting her third child and her first girl! Chooze was happy to send some adorable Weechooze in Behave Pink, the left shoe has flowers the right has poke-dots, both in beautiful pink.

My Godson is 2 1/2 and I choose to get him the Scout in Rock, I also got a matching pair for his new baby brother. I can not wait to see those boys strutting their stuff in their matching CHOOZE Shoes in Rock. The left shoe has skull and cross-bones, and the right has guitars on it, both in matching grey, white and black, the shoe retails for $48.95.

Evan my nice is 7 and I told her she could pick out any shoes she wanted, I didn’t know what she would pick with the large array of different types of shoes and different styles. When Molly (her stepmom) called to tell me what she picked I loved it! I said she picked the Punky Brewster shoes! Apparently that means I’m showing I’m in my 30’s because Molly didn’t know who that was. The shoes Evan picked are so adorable they are the Spark in Reach and retail for $54.95.

CHOOZE has an apparel line with dresses, skirts, shorts, and leggings for girls. To see some of the adorable girls clothing that start at only $27.95 click here. There is also a full line of reversible backpacks and lunch boxes for both boys and girls. The lunch boxes are only $24.95 and there are so many fun designs to choose from.

CHOOZE shoes are 100% Vegan, the ‘Green Mom’ I am love that no animals were harmed in the making of these shoes. There are also anti-microbial removable padded insoles, for easy removal for washing. Chooze full line includes sandals, Mary-Janes, Slip-Ons, Sneakers, Slippers, Loafters, Ballet Flats and infant shoes called Weechooze.

New Kinsa Smart Thermometer

by Nicole Connerley

The new smart thermometer for smart moms is finally here, let me introduce you to Kinsa the Smart Thermometer! What do all of us have next to us (or near by) nearly all hours of the day? Our smartphones! That is why Kinsa truly is the most innovative product for moms on the go I have seen. It is a simple as plugging the thermometer into a smartphone, and downloading the free app. Since Kinsa uses the processing power from a smartphone there are no batteries required. It is light weight, very durable and easy to bring with you anywhere.

Last week my son was home from school ALL week, his fever was up and down everyday. When he woke up at 4 am with a raging fever and I couldn’t find the thermometer I almost lost it. I have a sick kid crying, knowing he had a fever but couldn’t find out what it was made me feel like a horrible mother. My husband seeing how frustrated I was saw the Kinsa Thermometer and said that is what we need.

After receiving the Kinsa thermometer I will never use another one again. It is so easy to bring with you anywhere, and because we travel often this was a huge selling point for me. The other thermometer, you know the one I couldn’t find last week, is big, bulky, and requires batteries. Have you gone to take your child’s temperature only to find the thermometer is beeping at you for low batteries? Kinsa is thin and flexible, making it not only more comfortable, but also the most unbreakable thermometer on the market for all ages. Kids love Kinsa’s bubble popping game, bright colors, and simple, visual symptom options so much that they don’t only stay put for readings, they ask for Kinsa again and again.

10 second average read time
Exceeds both ASTM and ISO standards for professional accuracy
