Kirsten is a mother of two and an entrepreneur.  Kristen grew up in Arlington , TX and came from very modest background. She has always been obsessed with clothing and has always creatively dressed due to budget constraints. She graduated from Sam Houston High School (Arlington, TX) in the top 3% of class. She graduated from Texas A&amp;M University with a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. Kristen taught high school Biology for 6 years in both low socioeconomic as well as privileged areas in Texas. She sewed creatively at home as a past time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What was the inspiration behind the creation of your company in 2003?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I became involved with Attachment Parenting\/Breastfeeding groups after the birth of my first child in 2001.  Attachment parenting embraces the use of baby slings as a gentle parenting tool. I developed a baby carrier for my toddler daughter that satisfied my need to look stylish and feel comfortable.  I saw a pouch style sling at a La Leche League meeting and had to have one. I had used adjustable slings with rings and tails up until that point and was never comfortable with them, the rings were constantly having to be re-adjusted. I looked around at pouches and found nothing I liked. So I sewed myself one out of some funky fabric I had around the house. This became my sling of choice. People began seeing me  with this groovy pouch around town and wanted me to make them. So I set up a small website and named her designs \u201cHotslings\u00ae\u201d to make people think of something fun, easy and hip. My ideas took off and eventually I was able to quit teaching and hire out sewing to create a constant supply of Hotslings\u00ae. The Hotsling\u00ae is a copyrighted, original design.  <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;We are always striving to improve our products through obsessive fashion trend watching.
