You're a proud mom, and you want to say it with style. Not too trendy, but very exquisite, BabyFeet pieces are designed to remember those precious little feet that are often forgotten, as they get big. You know, those soft tiny feet that have never worn shoes, never even been walked on. In celebration of the children we love, mother's, grandmother's and godmother's wear ![]() How BabyFeet Walked Into My LifeThe BabyFeet jewelry collection was created as a celebration of life. My husband knew how proud I was of our first son, Colton, and how I wanted everyone to know. Not being able to find any pieces of style and quality, we decided to cast his feet on a slide with his birthstone. Combined with my anniversary, birthday, and other special slides, I was thrilled that my bracelet was then complete with the story of my life. Sadly, our story changed. Those tiny feet that I am so proud of never wore shoes, were never even walked on. At eight weeks old, Colton died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.) With our lives torn apart, I felt comforted wearing his feet, keeping that memory with me at every moment. We have since been blessed with Colton's little brother and sister. In celebration of their lives, we had slides made with their birthstones too. When not only my friends, but also complete strangers, began asking for slides of their children, I decided to start BabyFeet. In Colton's honor, a portion of each BabyFeet purchase will go to the American SIDS Institute for medical research for the prevention of SIDS. For more information about SIDS follow this link. Savvy Moms Fighting SIDSSavvy Moms Fighting SIDS is a group of girlfriends working to promote SIDS awareness and hosting fundraising events for SIDS Research. In 2002, we held a Silent Auction in Columbia, Maryland, and in July 2003, we held a swim-a-thon in Crofton, Maryland. All proceeds were donated to the American SIDS Institute in Honor of Colton Marr. Our next big fundraiser will be our second annual Swim-a-Thon for SIDS. Also in July 2003, we traveled to New York City to promote SIDS awareness. We even talked to Matt and Katie outside the Today Show and got a personal phone call from Ann Curry, the Today Show Anchor a few days later!
Kristen Marr is a Board Member of the American SIDS Institute (sids.org). She and her group of friends are interested in helping any other individuals, groups or girlfriends with fundraising or awareness programs too.
