Before we get into the gift guide collections, let's have a soul to soul about the imminent arrival of Mother's Day.
Mother’s Day is a tapestry woven with threads of joy, nostalgia, and sometimes, a touch of grief.
As we celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped our lives, we recognize that motherhood isn’t always straightforward—it’s layered, nuanced, and sometimes complex.
Whether it’s the memory of a cherished mother, a mom honoring the memory of a child who has passed away, the tension between mother and daughter, the unwavering love of a mother-figure, and the many challenges of femininity and motherhood, this day invites us to honor those intricate emotions.
I've created a Mom/Mother-figure gift guide to pay homage to these multifaceted feelings, offering pastoral care that captures both the bitter + sweetness—the depth of our connections.
Gift-giving is a sacred activity from the inside out. It's marked by internal and external seasons.
Thoughtful and intentional gift-giving happens year-round, allowing us to celebrate the many facets of motherhood and uplift the moms and mother-figures in our lives. Around these soul care parts, we believe in honoring the ever-evolving experiences + needs of mothers throughout their feminine phases of life.
By embracing the transformative power of soul care: personal and collective flourishing, we awaken women to amplify their peace + prioritize their wellbeing, making every day an occasion to celebrate.
we awaken women to amplify their peace + prioritize their feminine wellbeing, making every day an occasion to celebrate nurturers + caregivers.
Our carefully created collections feature playful, luxury, high-quality pieces designed to nurture self-tending in childlike wonder, while our pastoral care insights will help you support and nurture the mom/mother-figure in your life. Let's explore this garden of stunning offerings and advice together.

Celebrate the presence of neurodivergent moms/mother-figure with these heartfelt gifts:
Greeting Cards: Share that you see her + appreciate her uniqueness.
Socks: As a neurodivergent adult I actually have plenty of clothing sensitivities. My sensory systems are on high alert, I perceive things so strongly. For those with sensory processing disorder who hate socks, keep it movin'. Although I create seamless-free, sensory friendly socks that are cozy + colorful, each person will have a preference of material and height that they prefer their socks. That's right, they do not have a toe seam, because everyday, sensory comfort matters. Ours stay put and have good moisture wicking.

Terms
*neurodiversity: describes the neurological diversity that exists with humanity: the different ways people process + think + experience life. Differences that are on a neurological (nervous system + brain), physical + emotional level.
*neurodivergent: describes the divergence from the "standard norm" or "standard typical" way of being +processing + thinking. This standard is an illusion. Chiiile, there is no norm. A neurodivergent brain is physically wired differently - there's a different amount of neurons to process information, which causes overstimulation.
Another thought about neurodiversity + disability: You can't "have" autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc., it's a neurological wiring with various traits. What causes the disability is the system that accommodates + incentivizes folks that process a specific type of way.
This systemization of marginalization creates an inequitable environment, which causes the disability not the neurology.
Also Good to Know:
