Everything about When I Grow Up is worth talking about! Their collection of adorable tees are designed to teach the core values you want to instill in your children – and will quite possibly make others stop and think, too. They are vivid and simple – but even more importantly, the graphics are printed using water-based ink onto 100% organic cotton. I love the idea! {Especially in comparison to the “I drool” tshirts at the local mega-store.} :) Tshirts that really mean something! And a portion of all proceeds from the Charity Tee will go to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
GIVEAWAY :: Enter to win a Value Statement Tee from When I Grow Up. To enter, post a comment – your favorite inspirational quote – ON THIS POST. Enter by Tuesday, July 22nd at 10:00 pm (pst). If your contact information is not linked to your google account, don’t forget to leave your information in your comment. We have had to disqualify winners, because we don’t have contact information to let you know if you won! (If winner does not come forward within one week, a new winner will be randomly selected.) Or you can check back on Wednesday, July 23rd to see if you won! Anonymous comments will be ignored/removed. One entry per person, please. Good luck!!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
