We are mothers, too, and we aim to uplift the vocation and dignity of women with the role of mother.

Whether by adoption, natural birth, or in spirit, we want to be there with you. 

Are you or a mother you know a military spouse? Our latest #dearmothermovement letter which was posted this morning addresses this very topic. Each week, these letters addressed to, "dear mother" enrich this community. They are written by our followers; mothers that want to begin a conversation with you, from one mother to another. It's an opportunity to grow together, and we always send one of our mother tees to someone who had joined the conversation! So, what are you waiting for? | 📷: @xo.caitlynnbuehler
Dear Military Mother, I’ve seen your face a thousand times, the expression that comes when your spouse announces a new adventure that is furthering his duty to keep our country free. Your expression is neither fear nor anger, confusion or strife. It’s BRAVERY. When you said “I do” you knew, but the real understanding came when he had to put duty above all else. It could look like a last second “work trip” or packing up a life that you knew for an 18month station across the USA. This could even look like sitting in the hospital on a Thursday cradling your brand-new babe & he gets the call to come in on Monday because sometimes, there are no days off. You looked around your empty shell of a home and wondered “will love fill these walls?” Here is a foreshadow; they are filled to the brim. Friends are made like it’s your job. For on a lonely night when no one understands, there comes a “me too.” Just their existence can take away your fear. You’ve only known these women for just shy of a year, but when they come to visit your eight-hour old babe with a Jimmy John’s sandwich in hand, you wonder if the good Lord blessed you with a sister. Roots are made, pictures punch fresh holes in the walls, and you explore when you can to find a new favorite restaurant or the closest Starbucks with a drive thru. Then with little (or long) notice, it’s time to uproot as best you can. Those holes are filled in your drywall and consequently your heart. Looking in at that home, which once held your dreams and your fears, filled with brown boxes, you wonder if this really is worth it all? This military life with all its glamour. Oh, but my dear sister, it is. Not many are aware of the life you’ve chosen & not much praise is given. Beautiful friend, I see you. And when I see you, I see nothing but open doors and new adventures. I see what it means to be truly BRAVE. Share below your greatest adventure so far, & tag any military mamas who might need this today! ✨This week's #dearmothermovement post was written by @xo.caitlynnbuehler ❤ As our conversation wraps up, one mother will be chosen to receive a MOTHER tee on us! #fromonemothertoanother #dearmothermovementhost #deckandoar
One of the things I love most about our tees, but this one in particular, is how versatile they are. Just the right amount of stretch, but not so much that it'll stay stretched out! Maureen is sporting the Called to Mother fitted tee with her baby bump 💟 | 📷: @maureeneisenhart
It's been a good one today. I ordered my kids @chickfila and they didn't eat it, so I ate it. Can't waste it, you know? 😂
