Millie running in a road race last summer
Have you ever thought about that the fact that, even though little girls have a wide variety of interests, including things like sports and dinosaurs, the clothing available for girls doesn't necessarily reflect that? I really hadn't given it much thought myself, until my friend and fellow stay-at-home-mom Rachel told me about the business she was getting ready to launch. While there are plenty of clothes with pictures of butterflies, flowers, and princesses, you'd be hard pressed to find a pink t-shirt that reflects the interests of a little girl with a passion for things that we typically consider the realm of boys. So Rachel decided to remedy that, by starting a business that offers t-shirts for girls, and it's called A Closet of Her Own.
I can really appreciate this, because I was very involved in sports through elementary school, high school and on through college. I stayed busy with basketball, track and cross country. And though I'm not the runner I used to be, Tom and I still try to run when we can, and we do some 5K road races from time to time. One fun thing about these road races is that there's often a race for kids as well. Millie has run in several of these, and she's really enjoyed them. So when Rachel was looking for models for her t-shirts, I knew Millie would really love the t-shirt that depicts a girl running. And let me tell you, whenever I'm on top of laundry and that shirt is clean, that's the one she picks to wear! It's a very soft, comfy cotton shirt, in her favorite color (pink!), and she has worn it so much in just a few months.
So if you know a little girl who loves sports, or dinosaurs, or fire trucks, you have to go check out the very cute shirts Rachel has available. And even if you don't have a little girl in mind, you can click over to see Millie modeling her running shirt!
