Truth be told, I was first introduced to ... http://likewear.com/blog/?p=548 Yup, that’s right.  Just like The Wave at a sporting event, there’s always a creeping, moving flow to trends like animal rubber bands (a.k.a.

And, if not love, then at least like. It really makes the “doing” part so much more enjoyable. My initial reasons for blogging were driven by the business. It was recommended that I have a ... http://likewear.com/blog/?p=529 Summer is finally here!  It’s a time to hopefully relax a bit, and even if you have a job aside from LikeWear, take a break from all the sports practices, carpooling and kid chaos so that you can recharge the “mom battery” before school starts up again.  As a mom, ... http://likewear.com/blog/?p=535
