I still remember the mornings when just getting out of bed felt like an Olympic event.

The house was already awake before I even opened my eyes—tiny feet running down the hall, cartoons blaring, cereal bowls clanking in the sink. The day had started without me, and I was already behind.

There were lunches to pack, laundry to switch over, and a toddler who suddenly refused to wear anything except his favorite dinosaur shirt (which, of course, was buried at the bottom of the hamper). My coffee sat untouched, growing colder by the minute.

And a shower? Ha. That was a luxury reserved for… well, honestly, I didn’t know who. Certainly not me.

I loved my boys more than life itself. Being their mom was the greatest, most beautiful part of my world. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel stretched so thin that there was nothing left of me.

I would go to bed at night wondering: Did I do enough today? Did I miss something important? Am I failing?

Motherhood has a way of making you feel like you’re always giving, always pouring from a cup that somehow never refills.

But then… one day, something changed.

A Small Surprise That Meant Everything

I don’t even remember the occasion—maybe it was Mother’s Day, maybe it was just a random Tuesday. But I remember the feeling.

A package arrived for me.

Not diapers. Not groceries. Not something for the house.

Just for me.

Inside was something simple, something small—a soft, comfy t-shirt in my favorite color with a little saying that made me smile. But in that moment, it wasn’t just a t-shirt. It was a reminder.

A reminder that I was still here.

That I wasn’t just a mom running on autopilot, surviving on cold coffee and leftover chicken nuggets.

That I mattered, too.

I can’t explain why that tiny surprise turned my whole day around. Maybe it was because it was unexpected. Maybe it was because it made me feel seen.

But I do know this—sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest difference.

Why Moms Deserve to Feel Special Too

Looking back now, I see that season of my life for what it was—a moment. A hard one, yes. But just a moment.

And if I could go back, I’d tell myself what I want to tell you now:

You’re not failing. You’re doing more than enough. And you deserve to feel loved, too.

That’s why I created The Tee Party—not just as a fun t-shirt club but as a way to give moms like you that little moment of joy I remember so well.

Because I know what it’s like to feel invisible in the chaos of everyday life. I know how easy it is to put yourself last, to give every piece of yourself to your family and leave nothing for yourself.

And I know how much one small thing—one package, one surprise, one moment of feeling special—can change everything.

This Is for You, Mama

So if you’ve been feeling like you’re running on empty…

If you need a little reminder that you matter just as much as the tiny humans you’re raising…

If you want something to look forward to every month that’s just for you…

Come join The Tee Party.

Because you deserve this.
