At the end of last year, I entered a couple giveaways onBig Mama and BooMama's blogs. I had never heard of the line of footwear offered by KEEN before the mama's hosted their giveaways. I cruised around the KEEN website and I entered both of the giveaways along with a gazillion other people. I had the opportunity to meet Big and Boo in August at a Beth Moore conference.
