Go Rangers: Reflections from a Cheer & Band Mom

The Little Bling Shoppe by Thirstees bringin the SPIRIT to Lakewood in BLINGY fashion!

Its that time of year again: "We've got S-P-I-R-I-T!"

I have been hearing that chant throughout my house since my daughter was just 3 years old cheering for a local youth football league. 

She is now a Sophmore at Malone University Where she is still a Cheerleader.  Living in Brooklyn, Ohio was exciting as the Marching Band would always parade from the High School to the Stadium a few blocks away- It always had that small hometown feeling to me.

I can still hear them practicing from my home and I get goosebumps. My Daughter was also in the Marching Band- She worked so hard. She played the clarinet and cheered- so when she marched- it was in her Cheer Uniform.

While all the other kids got to take a break during halftime, there was my girl on the field playing with the band.  We have Lakewood memories too- We were always here for the band festival as Brooklyn participated in it too.  I had always admired the Lakewood Schools for their arts and music.  I was a singer in HS, we had a great program at Valley Forge but had secretly wanted to Lakewood because I thought it was "cooler".

Now I am here in Lakewood in my new Business "The Little Bling Shoppe" and I am able to particpate as a Lakewood business resident by bringing Lakewood and surrounding communities fun spirit wear to support their kids at the games.

My take on Spirit Wear is a little different from the standard t shirt- I "Bring the Bling" For Sports Moms and Fans- Embellishing my handmade fashions suited for women and offering choices to the customer where they can pick their own clothing styles( v neck , sweatshirt , etc..) One size does not fit all here- you are in charge.

Please come see me- I take group and custom orders for your team, workplace and more- I can even work with you to sell at a discounted rate for your FUNDRAISING efforts.

I wish everyone a FUN FABULOUS FALL- and Go RANGERS! -
