Born to run x 3.
I—Dimity—just dropped off our kids at sleepaway camp until Friday. It’s the second year for Amelia (just turned 11) and the first for Ben (8). Once we got them checked in and lower bunks made—we weren’t early enough so they could grab a prize upper bunk—they were done with me. “Can I take a quick picture of you on your bunk?,” I asked Ben, who, after 20 minutes, was outside running around with his soon-to-be-best pals. “No.” This is what I got instead.
Love that Claire, our model, drooled on her high fashion. Rest assured, all the items we ship are saliva-free.
I’m not complaining; Lord knows, nearly six days of no kids is good for all aspects of my life. (My main focus until July 4: Mother Runner Book #3. And I can’t wait. I looove working on it.) But what I am saying is what you likely already know: Where did the time go? How did my Ben, who I swear could’ve just fit into this onesie, now at sleepaway camp for a week? (And you just know he’s coming back way more independent. Hope he still allows me to love on him.)
Shower a future mother runner with this combo.
Which is a long way of getting to the point of this post: the born to run baby onesie is AMR’s first shot at clothing for the offspring. We’ve got it solo ($15) and packaged with a signed copy of Run Like a Mother ($25), which makes a pretty awesome baby shower gift. (Something for the mom; something for the peanut.)
As for me, I’m considering grabbing a onesie, rubbing mashed up carrots and black beans into it, spilling grape juice on it, washing it about 40 times, and stashing it with the other clothes I’m saving for when my kids have kids…and I get to start this process all over. For now, though, I’ll happily enjoy a week of peace + quiet.
Do you want us to start carrying more kids stuff? If so, any styles and phrases appeal to you?
I would LOVE to get my 3 year old a shirt that says, MY MOMMY RUNS!
I would love to see more kids clothes. My daughter has one of your Another Princess a Runner shirts from the Disney Expo. She is just coming into her own with her running and would love to see more of your stuff. I would also love to see something funny for my 3 year old but I’m not clever enough to develop sayings. I’ll leave that to the AMR Tribe.
My kids would LOVE something from AMR! They are 8 & 11 year old girls who (I think)are proud of the fact that I run and run far. It’s a little early in my day to think up cute sayings, but something just a little bad-ass (or as they say…bad-butt) would be awesome!
Definitely add shirts for tween girls! My 9 yo needs every ounce of confidence she can find at this point. Maybe a motivating shirt is what she needs! Girls rock!
Baby #4 is due anytime…must get that onsie ASAP! :)
Awesome love it! Will you have these with you at the amr party in Salt Lake City?
Yep. We will bring some. Thanks for asking, Paige!
Girls shirts that say “Another Daughter Runner!”
Yes, yes, yes – please add some for older girls. My 7 yr old would love a matching running shirt with me. “I run things” or “future marathoner”
Yes!!! I’m pregnant with my fourth and final, and my first girl. I would love for her to have onesies and clothes celebrating what her body can accomplish rather than clothing depicting fictional characters that emphasize our bodies are ornaments to be looked at. This is amazing!
Yes please! My 4 year old loves to run with me so a cool t-shirt with an awesome phrase would be fantastic!
Toddler sizes would rock! Every race I do that has a kids run, you can see my daughter earning her medal.
My 3 year old did his first 1K race on Mother’s Day and I would love for him to have an “I Run With Mommy” shirt or “Mommy’s Run Buddy” or something like that. He had such a great experience, he can’t wait for his next race, and neither can I!
Yes, toddler & kiddos sizes! Both my 3 yr old & 6 yr old girls love to run with their mama. My oldest has already run a 1/2 mile fun run!
Yes! My daughter loves matching me when we run 5ks together. I will have to order the onesie for her brother that is due in Oct!
