How long do you keep clothes? Is it something on your mind since the "does it spark joy" question came into play with @mariekondo? I know it's been on my mind, both in my own closet and in yours! 👚 I really want you to ask yourself this question before you buy from us: "does this item spark the joy I want to be a better mother"? If the answer is yes, then thank you! It's an honor to remind you that your vocation is something BEAUTIFUL. It's an honor to bring joy into whatever moments you bring our items into. ❤️ I love seeing mothers who bought from us years ago still tag us in their photos! It tells me that you care about what you buy, instead of making a rash purchase ❤️ | 📷: @imageclairity . . . . . #sparkjoy #sparkjoychallenge2019 #mariekondo #tidyingupwithmariekondo #mothertee #motherapparel #ohheymama
The mother tees are selling as quickly as I can screen print them, and I'm so happy you love them as much as I do! | 📷: @twinmamanotes
Update: Two weeks ago, I looked at my husband- stunned- as he referred to my health struggles as chronic. It's not a term I use lightly, and initially it wasn't something I wanted to admit. But when we ran through the symptoms, the doctor visits, and the number of days in the last 8 years that have been debilitating, I saw it for what it is: long lasting, chronic health struggles. I can't call it illness because I (frustratingly) still don't have a diagnosis. 🙄 My heart goes out to you if you're in this ocean, too. Even if it's something as simple as heartburn, muscle strain, or allergies, I feel for you. Caring for children that depend on you when you have a hard time caring for yourself is HARD. I'm not sharing this for pity, but because I think we all need a reminder that it's ok to turn the TV on. It's ok if you don't have the energy to tidy your socks. It's reasonable if you're struggling to get meals on the table when a number of foods upset your body. ❤️ Dear sister, I needed to share this with you because my quietness on this app isn't because I have stopped caring. What you do still matters so much to me. That's why, as this community moves forward, you're going to see more heartfelt posts. The products that I create for you this year will be worthy of the limited time and energy that I have. For the next few months, you'll be seeing some very special, near and dear products pop up. They will all be pre-order, and will have limited releases. ❤️ Last, I want to thank you. Thank you for being here. If you want to make sure you see our limited posts, would you consider turning on post notifications? ↪️ I'm concerned that not posting as much will hide us in your feed! ❤️ Love, Nyssa . . . . . #smallshop #mothertee #screenprinting | 📷: @imageclairity
Are you an artist? Or do you know a mother who is?! Tell me about your art, or about an artist you admire below. 🎨 You may not know that I majored in fine art. Before I had babies on my hip, throwing pottery and printmaking were my absolute favorite things to do. Well, that and horseback riding! I miss it- making things with my hands. It's made me rethink a way for here for @deckandoar , and it's made me wonder if you'd like to see me art in this space? . | 📷: @thevillageandco by @asia.dore . . . #ohheymama #fineartlife #fineartlifestyle #mothertee #motherapparel #bringingbackthevillage #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #holymotherhood
Every time we release an item I am unsure of what kind of a response we will get. You all LOVED this set! 😍 Where Virtues Grow 🌱
We've all heard that motherhood has a lot of hidden joys, but there are some seasons where that's hard to see, isn't it? Mommas, I want us to gather around the app today and TALK. Will you join me? It's easy so skim over the "let's be intentional about this space" spiel that seems to be ALL over (is it just me?!) and forget to be intentional at all. But this is me. A momma with two littles whose been stuck on the couch for a week with strep. I'd really like to clear the fog and talk about it with YOU. I created this space four years ago because all I saw was posts that were about SURVIVING motherhood- not enjoying it. So this week, I found a few things to be joyful about despite the numerous doctor appointments and medications. 1. That my girls are old enough to understand that mommy is "sicky". My four year old even told me, "Mommy, are you still sick? I'll take care of you." 2. That my girls have slept through the night every night this week!!!! 3. That I felt well enough yesterday to bake my husband a birthday cake (bless his heart! He had such a long day yesterday at work). The girls and I worked all day on a treasure hunt map for him, too. It was such a simple, fun way to be happy yesterday. When have you been through a difficult season (no matter how short) and have found something joyful in it? How have your children led you to joy in hard times? 💡| 📷: @highfiveforlove . . . . #getintheframe #motherhood #mothertee #deckandoar #motherhoodrising #bringingbackthevillage #letthembelittle #shopsmall #breastfeeding #loveyourmother #momlifeisthebestlife #minimalistmotherhood
Dear faith filled mother, I see you folding your little ones’ hands and teach them to say grace. I watch you at church, straining to listen to the readings with a babe on one hip and a wailing toddler on the floor. I notice your cheeks flush with embarrassment as you hurriedly whisper encouraging words and attempt to explain what is happening in words small children can understand. The rolling eyes and deep sighs of strangers in the pews can cut like a knife and make you feel so small... make you feel like a failure. Mama, I get it. I’ve been there, am there, and will be there for some time to come. When I am struggling, what gives me comfort is remembering two things. The first is this - You are not alone. There are other mamas out there, journeying alongside you. We are all striving to set a good example for our kids AND grow in our own faith. The women who have gone before us, who raised us, remind us that we are never alone and that we are making a difference. Your prayerful example shines far more light than you know. But even more importantly, the second thing to remember is this - Our Lord sees it all. And He knows it all. He watches as you slip away to pray amidst the small pockets of time in your day. He sees you rub your bleary eyes as you kneel beside the bed or thumb through the scriptures. He knows how you offer up small sacrifices throughout the day... a lost hour of sleep, that cold mug of coffee, that giant mountain of laundry. As you tuck your children into bed, the work of your hands becomes a prayer rising to Him. And oh, mama, He is so pleased with you. He loves you deeply. Take a moment to pause. Release the stress; stop hustling and striving. Your faith is enough and, above all, *you* are enough. Not because of how hard you try; Mama, you do not have to prove your worth. You are enough because you ARE. You are loved because you are HIS. Rest today in that knowledge. When have you felt alone as a mother on your faith journey? Who blessed you during that time? I’ll be sharing a piece of my heart below and would love to have you join in the conversation. This week's #dearmothermovement post was written by @karabecker__
