My thoughts are with anyone who has been affected by the devastating bushfires happening around our beautiful country. The loss of life (human, fauna and flora), homes, communities and livel...ihood is unfathomable. Its times like these that really show how much we Aussies care for each other and our country. We are with you.

Check back in on these points regularly as kids feet grow fast and their shoes work hard! Happy feet. Happy kids. Happy parents! All the best for 2020! Jess
