You know that moment when you find someone that has such passion for what they do with their life that you can’t help but want to be near them, because you know passion is courageous and who doesn’t want passion? Yeah. That was how I feel about Amy of Little Hip Squeaks. That girl has drive, and she’s creative, and I love that! Amy is a fellow Handmade Maker focusing on products for babies, tots and kiddos. Maxwell has some of their leggings and it’s true, they’re incredibly comfy and awesome.

My mom inspires me
My friend, Devon, inspires me everyday. She had a baby in January diagnosed with Pallister Killians Syndrome. Her beautiful baby girl Berkley was in the nicu for months and still has therapy weekly. She makes everything look so easy and I’m sure it’s so hard. She is the definition of strength.
My friend Kristi inspires me. She is completely selfless with her time. She gives back to our community more than I could fathom with my own time.
Amy (http://www.bestdayeverphoto.com) is amazing – she doesn’t let her albinism act as an excuse for sitting on the sidelines but is actively chasing her dreams, doing hard things, and balancing being a wife/mama/maker, too!
All of my friends inspire me in different ways!
love love love these items! Your foxy pouch is adorable!!
I have a friend whose husband died in Iraq. Her strength and determination inspires me every day!
I absolutely adore both items! Love me some baby leggings, too! As mom to three boys, I figure I can put them in “masculine” leggings for at least a year? ;)
My friend Christina inspires me to keep moving forward with my very small business that has gotten off to a rough start. She has a small business and it’s thriving after months and months of hard work. I hope to be where she’s at someday and then we both succeed even more after :) This is such a great giveaway. xoxo
My sister inspires me with her awesome devotion to our Lord!
My best friend since I was 12 has always been there for me and when we were young, we had always hoped our husbands would get along….well, we married brothers 12 years ago and I love that we will always be family. I can always tell her anything and vent my frustrations and my faults and she will never judge me. Just encourages!
My sister inspires me. As of this week, she is a published author… no small feat! She’s a great wife, mom, friend, sister, public speaker… and now author! Her book is geared for the busy Christian mom and is all about getting organized in your home, which in turn results in a more clutter-free and peaceful spirit. God is using her in mighty ways to touch the hearts of fellow mamas!
ps- I’m expecting baby #3 and my due date is tomorrow. What a perfect giveaway!
My husband, my best friend inspires me every day. He’s always positive no matter what. He’s such a hard worker and an amazing family man. He’s truly my inspiration.

My sister is my best friend and she inspires me! She & her family spend several nights a week volunteering at a food pantry or at their church. During the days, she volunteers at her girls’ schools.

My friend Wendy who is the epitome of effortless cool and will literally stop traffic to help a lost animal. My friend Isabel who taught herself to sew and now works for one of the neatest up-and-coming fashion houses. I am so lucky to have them and so many more. Plus Oct 16 is my birthday. So that would be cool. :)

My friend from high school (known her since we were in second grade but didn’t really become friends until high school) inspires me. She is always encouraging both spiritually and creatively, she gives me great constructive criticism, and I know I can come to her with the most ridiculous ideas and not be judged.

My oldest sister is my best friend and daily inspires me with her steadfast faith in Jesus, no matter the adversity.
My friend Steph. We’ve lived long distance for years now, but she goes out of her way to stay in contact with me through Skype dates. I love watching our families grow and change and sharing life together. It’s hard to believe that we only became friends our last year in college. So blessed by her!
My friend is actually my sister. She moved to a new state without knowing a soul and has created a wonderful life for herself there! :)
Yes, I have friend who inspires me…to be generous in giving. We just moved a state away, but she insisted to box up too small of clothes and send them to us for our daughter. Do you know what a blessing a big box of clothes and pajamas is? HUGE. She inspires me and so thankful for good friends!
My 3 year old inspires me! With his love and passion for life, and his ability to remember anything I have ever said!! Love the giveaway!!!

This past Tuesday we went in for our first prenatal appointment at 10w6d and found a baby with no heartbeat. This morning I had a D&C. My friend Laura has uplifted and inspired and encouraged me all week; she lost a son at 22 weeks last year and the way that she has clung to God and grown closer to Him through her loss has helped me immensely to get through these awful days. I will get through this, I will grow in it, and a tiny pair of leggings (and precious fox bag) would help me hold onto my hope that I will become pregnant again and carry a sweet baby to term next time.
My Premier Designs “family” inspire me to work harder!

I have a friend with 5 kids, a great husband, her own business, and she still is very active in her kid’s schools, their extracurricular activities, homelife, as well as dedicating time to her husband and friends. I’m impressed with how well she juggles everything and still keeps a smile on her face and is such a sweet and giving person. :)
I had a really hard struggle with a colicky baby for many months. This sounds so ridiculous but all I wanted was someone who sympathized with me, and told me all of what I was experiencing was challenging. I felt like a big wimp. This sweet neighbor made me feel so much better. She has four kids and challenges of her own, but she made me feel validated and uplifted me. Now I need to write her a note and tell her thanks. She is a blessing in my life.
