Today I woke up without shoes on and got ready for work barefoot. I used to love running across my parents gravel driveaway barefoot when I was younger...I think it was kind of to show off how "tough" I was. :)

WANT! WANT! WANT!!
Sure things I am doing today: I am going to a prayer meeting at 7 am at a community college,
having lunch with some family and friends,
and going to bible study at my Pastor's house.
I have never heard of one day without shoes until today. And today I am at work and will go without my shoes!
Thank you for sharing this incredible opportunity with all of us!
I'm a follower. Today, I'm doing everything without shoes. I'm a SAHM, but I have errands to run so I'll be running them without shoes.

I don't think my first comment went through, it said there was an error. But if it does go ahead and delete one!
I will be working in my garden barefoot today!
This is my second day without shoes. It's so hard and really gets you thinking. I'm preparing myself for the odd looks I'll get at the grocery store in a bit!
I'm spending my entire day without shoes. Work, the gas station, the post office...
I won't be going outside today at all - it's only 35 degrees here in Michigan, but I can be shoeless in my house!
I will be doing dishes and cleaning my house with no shoes on today!!!
It's a coooooold morning in Minnesota, but I'm remaining true to the challenge and have NaKeD feet! I will even free my toesies off for this cause by going outdoors to play with the dog, run errands and pick kids up from school. It's an important day! :)
It's wet and rainy here in VA but nothing feels better than warm spring rain on barefeet. We love TOMS! And love them even more because of the One for One
I adore TOMS and their mission... such an awesome organization [and I'm so sure they make the cutest shoes too]. Mostly I will be barefoot around my house today... but I will also be shoeless when I meet a friend at Jimmy Johns for lunchies. [btw, I follow your blog]

I didn't hear about this until this morning when I got to work. I am a teacher and right now is my conference period so I took off my shoes to relax. Considering I have to stay in dress code I will be putting them back on but as soon as I get in my car, off my shoes go!!!! No more for the rest of the day!!!!

I'll be at home taking care of my kiddos. Maybe walking to the mail box, but not too sure about that one. It's chilly outside so I may not take the kids outside today.
I entered the Boba give away.
luckily, i'm a hermit... so i'm hanging here today.
I will be doing a major job barefoot today, caring for my 2 kids. Will be trying my best to avoid the toy bombs all over the floor!

I never wear shoes at home, so I'll be doing everything from housework to just lounging! I am a follower!
My students think I'm crazy, but I'm walking around my classroom without shoes...
right now we are dancing in the living room barefoot to Bubble Guppies We Totally Rock!
I happily follow your blog! :)
I'll be doing lots of cleaning at home with no shoes and maybe hitting the beach!
Thank you!

Well...I have been barefoot so far... I promise I will coach tonight barefoot, but, I need to wear something form here to the gym...It's snowing!!!!! Xoxo
shoes are off and I am cleaning the house :)
I also entered your Boba carrier giveaway.
I'll be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen today. (And probably outside some playing with my #1.) Thanks for the giveaway!!! (I'm already a follower.)
No shoes at the park today for this mama :) Love the sparkly toms!
I can't go without my shoes at work, except when sitting at my desk I will for sure tuck them neatly away to join the cause. After work you will find me cleaning up, painting and crafting all barefoot and happy to be that way! The girls at my house have spent considerable time lately trying to decide what Toms we are gonna try first. Love them all!
Well, does feeding the baby while I walk around the house barefoot count :)
Gotta hit the library and do some gardening and cooking, sans shoes of course.
I also entered the boba giveaway
just read the update.... mama you rock!!
i'm at work.
with my shoes off.
good thing my socks match today.
amy this is WONDERFUL! 3?!?!?! gaaah you go girl!
well I work at corporate america and they kinda frown upon toesies being exposed BUT the second I get home I shall be kicking off the uggs and cooking some dinnah in the footie flesh.
Today I will be gardening, sweeping and mopping, and hanging with the kiddos without shoes. Thanks for the giveaway!! What a good reminder for us, what it's like everyday for kids in other countries.
You rock!! And TOMS rocks too!
no shoes for me, pulling the trash/recycling cans out to the curb this morning proved to be interesting! I have plans to go to the grocery store a little later today - it should be fun to see how well enforced the "no shoes, no service" signage is...I think I'll bring some flip flops just in case ;-)
I'm a SAHM so most days are spent without shoes on. However, today, I will make sure everyone in the family is shoeless, including the Hubs who works from home. You will see me cleaning the house barefoot today and running after my barefoot 11-month old.
Love Love Love these pics!!! I so want to take off my shoes, but you see, i'm sitting at my desk, I have to-the-knee boots on, and a skirt. And the socks I have under said boots are mid calf socks with holes and the perfect clashing purple to not match my purple top. So when I get home at 6pm after work, shoes off (and pajamas on as usual)!
I entered the BOBA giveaway too!
I've also entered your boba carrier giveaway.
luckily i will be hanging home with the kiddo's, good thing cuz we still have snow in the driveway.
Yup, barefoot today! What a great giveaway idea!
I just bought my first pair of TOMS this past week and I am loving them! I love anything that has a good cause and the more research I'm doing on this company the more impressed I am. For today's One Day Without Shoes event I am going barefoot after I get off work. That will mean going on date night with the hubby without shoes on. We'll see how it goes. I'm sure I will get lots of questions! Thanks for sponsoring such a great giveaway!
Hi I'm a follower and I won't be leaving the house today but I'll do the usual take the dog out, play with babygirl, clean, attempt to exercise w/out shoes...I just heard about this yesterday through a friend!! Such a great cause and a great giveaway.
I'm not wearing any shoes today....or showering ;) but what's new ;)
i entered the boba giveaway!
This is my second year participating in the day without shoes, and I LOVE TOMS! Today I'm at work and later I'm going to Bible study. :) Thanks for promoting today!
What the WHAT?
Today we painted without shoes and played outside in the dirt and chilly weather without shoes...
fun for the boys, not fun for the mama, but it counts b/c we are participating in the little way we can.
I am barefoot, by choice, 99% of the time. I am lucky that this is a choice. When I do wear shoes, I choose them based, first on comfort, then on style. There again, I am SO LUCKY to have the CHOICE.
Today, I CHOOSE to remain barefoot (although I thought it was ILLEGAL in the state of Florida to drive without shoes... It apparently isn't. Did you know that?) Again, I am lucky I live in a state where the temperature (and the law) permits bare feet. ;^)
New follower! I just heard about the no-shoes thing today. It's amazing how we take shoes for granted. I go without them the majority of the day, anyway. Crazy how we live with our many choices, and complain if even the slightest one is taken away.
Well, because I'm a SAHM, I'm just hanging out at home with my kids today :)
I'm entered in your Boba carrier giveaway!

Well, if it was Friday I could say flying to Nashville from Kenai, Alaska, but alas, it's just Tuesday, so today I will walk outside in the fresh snow to take the dog out. That's ambition enough, right?! I have a little adopted cousin from Ethiopia, or "Pia" as he says. This issue is close to my heart :)
seriously? do i even have to tell you how bad i want to win one of these gift certificates? it would make my day...week...maybe even year.
I am parading around town today proudly barefoot in Dallas, TX, spreading the word today about the cause if anyone asks. I am also taking a half hour of my day to sit down and genuinely pray for those without shoes, that they may be blessed with a pair after this wonderful cause is spread by word of foot and mouth today by all of the wonderful people who participate. :) xoxo
I am at home making Easter crafts with my girls today...no shoes of course ;)
new follower to your blog. walking to and from the copier without shoes - hoping my boss doesn't notice/care!
I am sitting outside enjoying warmish weather (finally!) No shoes!
just started following your blog and today i am at home with my little, but will be heading to the park later...barefoot :)
I am barefoot today! Love toms and the word they spread for children around the world.
Thanks for this fabulous giveaway!!!
I entered the boba giveaway too! You are awesome, girl!!
I'm sitting in my office at work right now with no shoes! This is an awesome giveaway. Thanks so much!
What a wonderful thing you are doing! I got ready for work without shoes, let the dog out w/o shoes and am work barefoot (under my desk). I'll strip these babies off as soon as I get in the car to head home!
I'm not allowed at work without shoes but as soon as I'm home, the shoes come off! Thanks for the giveaway!

I am going barefoot today! Thanks! Anna
Hi! I LOVE TOMS & their mission. I just purchased my first pair of TOMS Kenya wedges recently & they are fabulous. I'd love to buy a pair of the slip-ons for my toddler son. Today I am mothering without shoes, I am sewing & crocheting barefoot & I am picking up the dog poop in our backyard barefoot too! Hopefully I can manage to avoid the doo-doo, so it doesn't become one with my bare toes! LOL! Thanks for the giveaway!
I always clean the house without shoes...
It is customary in our country "Philippines" to be barefoot if we enter someone else's house...it is a sign of respect to the owner of the house...by keeping their house clean if you enter barefoot.
Amazing giveaway!! Toms have become my second favorite pair of shoes (just shy of saltwater sandals). I feel in love with their mission and supported them ever since! As a SAHM of 4 we will celebrate "one day without shoes" together by playing barefoot in the backyard. One day when my kids are older I will get to hook up with an official Toms event, but today I will be happy to continue to teach my kids how very blessed we are. And if I win I think my smallest will get his first pair of Toms...not hand-me-downs!
I cook dinner without shoes! But really, I like doing just about anything without shoes. Or socks. Or feet covering of any kind =)
Love Toms and their mission!
Took my son to his one year wellness appt....without shoes on!
Entered the boba giveaway, it rocks my socks off, if I was wearing some!
Hanging out around the house and will play outside in the grass without shoes on. I am nearing the end of my pregnancy so shoes are rare anyways!!!

Today I am doing yoga without shoes!
BUT, the most important thing I am doing today to promote the One Day Without Shoes campaign is talk to my students about children in third world countries who don't have shoes. I am a kindergarten teacher and they were amazed that people have to walk around without shoes. It opened their eyes!

Amazing giveaway!! Today we did a play date with the kiddos and no shoes, and later a little outside time and swim lessons.
I am doing my household chores without shoes today! I plan on walking to get the mail without shoes as well :)
Today I'm shoeless as I try to recover from multiple illnesses. Might not be the "ideal" shoeless day, but its cold in here and I'd rather be wearing socks and slippers! kellisblinn@gmail.com

I will be doing homework and walking my dogs barefoot today! And THANK YOU and YOUR MOM so much for the giveaway! What an amazing opportunity and a great cause.
Today I took the trash out without shoes! I also researched this amazing campaign and plan on spreading the word!
So generous to offer this all by yourself! I live in Florida, so my life is pretty much shoeless. Today we played in the yard shoeless and walked around the neighborhood shoeless and went to baby gym shoeless.
i am crafting and doing laundry SANS shoes.. could not do it on a daily basis though. very thankful i do not have to do so.
Today was such a beautiful day that me and my two boys played outside without shoes and it felt great! What a awesome giveaway!! =)
Today my 15 mo old daughter and I went to an appt and then we played with our friends without shoes! We Love TOM shoes!

What an amazing giveaway! I am spending my evening without shoes, dinner, cleaning, laundry, baby bath and bed time!
This is such a great giveaway. I have wanted a pair of Toms for a long time. I walked around my house and through the yard without shoes on today doing different chores.
Today I will walk around my house without shoes, because we take them off at the front door. I will also play at the kids gym with my daughter, shoeless, because it is required, and well, I like going barefoot :) I have one pair of Toms and I LOVE them, I would love to have some more, and to get a pair for my kiddos :)
I can't be at work without my shoes on but as soon as I get home they're coming off and staying off!
I think the entry is closed (such a short window for mommies who can't read blogs every day :( ) But.. I'll try anyway! I will go barefoot doing all my mommy housework today and be praying for those kids throughout the day without shoes.
Thanks Amy & her mom!

And of course, I follow your blog!
I taught. Today in my classroom I slipped off my shoes and stood in front of my classroom to present a lesson to my 6th graders.
Planted flowers, got the mail, cleaned house...all without shoes.
I love reading your BLOG and I am without shoes. I know that doesn't surprise you because as much as I like buying shoes, they don't stay on my feet for very long. BUT I have that choice, and I have a closet FULL of shoes. I see the kids in South Africa without shoes playing, going to school and EVEN at restaurants. SOME have a choice, most do not. Dad always say, "they grew up on wine farms"..... I say, WITHOUT SHOES???? Watching the video and realizing how much sickness comes from being shoeless..... should be a choice..... AND you little missy and your "crayon converse high tops" ..YOU HAD TO WEAR TO BED... Like it was yesterday.... I love you, Mom
My sisters actually talked me into One Day Without Shoes. Yesterday, I worked, went to a dermatologist appt, & came hoome to cook & clean. I am incredibly jealous of my sisters' & mother's TOMS and have been wanting a pair for my finace and myself for sometime. A $50 giftcard would be a great start to our TOMS!!
Today I schooled my kids without shoes and took care of the various house jobs.
i wake up with no shoes and keep them off til i go some where outside the house. I take a shower without shoes. I go to sleep too! lol
