LEOTUDES TURNS 4 ♥︎

Hey there, Leotuder! If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve stumbled upon Leotude’s very own blog! I know, right?! Pretty cool, huh?! But, I’m going to need you to simmer down for just a second because also

TODAY IS LEOTUDES 4TH BIRTHDAY!

Okay, okay, now you can get excited!

*the crowd goes wild*

I’m super excited to not only be bringing you the very first Leotude’s blog post, but we are also celebrating Leotudes turning 4!  It’s an exciting day around Leotudes HQ (I think they even have a little something up their sleeve!) and I thought for our first post, that there was nothing more fitting than getting to know the brand and the woman who brought it to life!

If you’re new around here, the brains of this operation is Hannah. She’s a Wife and Mom of 4 based out of Nebraska just outside of Offutt AFB. In a season where the need to keep food on her table and the desire to homeschool her children plagued her thoughts, Hannah spent many late nights teaching herself how to sew, months finalizing her patterns, and like any girl boss, survived a breakdown or two along the way. You know, the one where we break down but we come back ready to kick butt and take names?! Yep, that one! And took names she did. Hannah took names, sayings, basically anything your personalized loving heart could dream up and put them on every little girl’s favorite fashion piece, the leotard.  Finally, her dream then became a reality and Leotudes was born.

Hannah’s story is one of my favorites because it is such a real and genuine story of small business ownership. A Mom needing her small business in order to survive and to provide for her family because failure isn’t an option. It’s an incredible story about the strength of a Mother, the lengths she will go to and obstacles she will overcome to provide a great life for her children. 

When I asked Hannah how she felt about it being Leotudes’ 4th Birthday she was in disbelief and utterly grateful for how this brand has changed her life and allowed her to provide the same opportunities to other women. As Leotudes grows, Hannah has been able to hire other Moms and provide them with the opportunity to earn a steady income while also having the flexibility to bring their children into the office if needed.

As if empowering women wasn’t enough, as Leotudes continues to grow Hannah has a few more goals she’d like to check off her brand’s list. One day she would like to start gifting dance, ballet, and gymnastics classes to children who can’t afford them, and I personally, can’t wait to see that one come to fruition because I know it will.

Hannah is innovative, kind, supportive, and tenacious. She’s humble, selfless, and empathetic. She is #bossgoals and I am so proud to know her and help her share this brand with the world!
