Hip Gear

Have you heard?!
There's awesome gear for sale that benefits the International Hip Dysplasia Institute!

Hope the Hip Hippo is a book written by two wonderful moms who have been on the DDH journey for a long time with their little girls.  Hope has some really cute T-shirts for sale.  I got one for Lucy and one for Lily.

There are also some blue shirts that you can customize with your child's name.  Example: TEAM LUCY!  Then on the back, you can put 'Mommy' or 'Auntie' or whatever you want!  Of course, mine says Mommy. :-)  Another momma in Texas with a hip kid created the design and her family wears the shirts to every doctor's appointment. :)

We also got a wristlet keychain, which makes me smile every time I go to get my keys.  Why, you ask?   Because I remember sitting in the ortho surgeon's room over a year ago, shaking so bad with fear and bawling like a baby.  Now, I feel like I can take on the world!  I am proud of my Lucy and of my whole family for kicking DDH in the tushie!

So, even if you don't have a 'hip kid,' please consider a purchase anyways!  If you don't want a shirt, do   a direct donation...

June is Hip Awareness Month, and for that reason-
I am doing another giveaway!

I am going to give away 2 shirts, including shipping (USA and Canada only please)

Please leave a comment on the blog, and on July 4th (In honor of Independence Day) I will draw two random names.

GOOD LUCK!

If you aren't one of the lucky winners, no fear!
Here is the link to purchase these awesome items.  HOPE THE HIPPO STORE


My beautiful HIP GIRL, Lucy!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my keychain!

Proud mommy

  5. What a great idea!! Lilly (14 months old) had her hip surgery in March and had her cast for 6 weeks, then brace for 6 weeks. We just got out of the brace and she loves her freedom!!

    Love these shirts! So cute...
