Small Business Saturday ~TILT Clothing Co

Today on Small Business Saturday I am featuring

TILT Clothing Co

This is Jake, our soon-to-be Son in Law.

This company was born from his ideas, 

his hard work, and his passion for the sport of lacrosse.

We met Jake in 2008 when he and Emily were freshmen in college.

He played Lacrosse for the NDSU Bison.

During those four years, 

hubby and I attended as many games as we could

in Fargo and in the Minneapolis area.

His senior year he was president and captain of the team 

and they went all the way to the National Tournament.

But now about his business...

After graduation,

Jake worked in the areas of Business and Finace

and also with Online Marketing...

However, this was his calling,

to create a clothing company that

embodies the Lacrosse Lifestyle.

His collection features soft knit

Tee Shirts, Tanks, Long Sleeve Tees and

his newest release, a crew neck sweatshirt.

He has Snapback Hats and other fun surprises.

His inventory is growing...

see their newest release here.

(I love your beanies, by the way!)

You can like Jake on Facebook here.

You can browse Jake's website here.

Today, shop in your local small business stores...

and remember to check out the little shops online.

(I mean, who doesn't like to shop in their pajamas?)

Happy Shopping!

Take care,

~Natalie

Monday Mania ~ Where the Weekend Went

We took a little trip into the cities to watch the Bison play Lacrosse.

Remember #5?

Remember, it is his senior year?

We went with #5's girlfriend.

It was raining...

I mean, pouring...

The Bison didn't win, but #5 had a great game.

Thanks for the memories.

Take care,

The Bison Win in Overtime ... and Thanks for the Memories

We had the privilege of attending the pregame luncheon and rally for the NDSU Lacrosse Team.

Hubby and I filled in as substitute parents for Jake and his roommate.

(Jake's parents live in Washington, his roommate is from Wisconsin.)

Jake welcomed the gathering of players, family, and friends and he introduced one of the team's founders and assistant coaches, who gave an impromptu speech.

(Which, I might add, would make any senior's mother dab a tear or two.)

Here, the team warms up on Dakota Field.

The snow had been cleared but the turf appeared to still be a bit slick.

#5 waits to take the field.

It was a cold, crisp night...

But the Bison were hot...beating the defending national champions, St. Johns University, in a sudden death overtime.

The score...7 to 6.

There was much celebration on the field...

What a great way to finish your season at home.

Congratulations, Jake.

Now...Let's do it again today!

Game's at 10 a.m.

Take care,

~Natalie

Good Luck, Jake...and Have Some Fun!

If you follow my blog, 

You know that for four years we have followed Jake and Bison Lacrosse.

And now...

Senior year...Jake is president of the team and serves as their captain.

This weekend is their last competition at home.

We've had fun learning the sport and being a fan.

We've enjoyed watching #5 play.

Best of luck to Jake and the team.

You've worked hard...enjoy the weekend.

We're proud of you.

Take care,

~Natalie

Monday Mania & Where the Weekend Went...

It was a whirl-wind weekend, for sure...

Hubby and I traveled nearly 600 miles.

First stop...to visit college-age daughters.

We enjoyed lunch together at a favorite pizza place,

"Spicy Pie".

We cheered on Jake and his Bison teammates at their Lacrosse Game.

The next day they went on to win the Tournament Championship.

Congratulations!

A little tail-gating before the football game.

Lots of scoring by the Bison during the football game.

On Sunday we traveled to Mom's to help

celebrate her 90th Birthday.

The girls made the 3 hour drive to be with Grammy on her special day.

Special guests included family members and friends.

The ladies from our church made a quilt for mom.

The weekend went so fast.

There's nothing better than spending time with family and friends.

Take care,

~Natalie
