Wow. I cannot believe it has already been one year since the official launch of Barefoot Nation. I can distinctly remember the day before the website went live. So many sleepless nights, wondering will the site work, will people order, will we attract citizens that get our message, etc. Then, after all the previous year […]
Have you ever tried (SUP) Stand Up Paddle Boarding? The first time that I ever tried it was when I was 11 and I wasn’t very good at it! While we were in California, we rented one and went paddle on the Pacific Ocean. After a few falls, I really started getting the hang of […]
Yes, you read that correctly. Our Southwestern road trip totaled 4,365 miles! We are so grateful that we decided to “turn off auto-pilot” and truly live. People keep asking us what was our favorite part of the trip. It is so hard to pinpoint one thing. Each state, each national park, each beach, each scenic […]
Well, here we are, a week and a half in, at the official halfway mark of this road trip. I must say, it has been quite an adventure so far! It started out with a bag full of snacks, good road trip movies, and of course, lots of singing and air guitar playing. First stops […]

You asked…so we made it happen! After leaving Atlanta, to our surprise, we were told about a huge fishing tournament in San Destin – The Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic. We called and there was one spot open for a vendor! After lots of very last-minute packing, bringing our tent with all our merchandise to […]
That was our reaction to the invite we received when we were asked if we would like to attend AmericasMart who host many venues, this one being Atlanta Apparel. This tradeshow is a four-day event with attendees from 80 countries, new buyers, and top retailers in the U.S. Over 3,000 vendors will be showing off […]

Just the thought of blue, clear water, white sand, sunny sky, and the sound of waves sends a calming message to my brain. When planning a beach trip, whether it is for a few days, a week, or even longer, we all know we will wind down and find time to relax. We know we […]
They say Memorial Day is the official start of summer. Well, here we are! School is finally out and summer has begun. Time for family vacations, picnics, lazy afternoons, catching up with friends, hanging by the pool, casting out a line at the lake, curling up with your favorite book in a hammock…you name it. […]
