Mom Life & My Side Hustle: Why I Started The Salty Mama Co.

Motherhood changes you in ways you never expect. It’s messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of moments that make you want to laugh, cry, and somehow do both at the same time. Between diaper changes, sleepless nights, and coffee that goes cold before I even take a sip, I realized I needed something for me — a creative outlet, a little corner of the world that blended motherhood and my love for design.

That’s how The Salty Mama Co. was born — a brand built by a mom, for moms.

🌸 My Journey: From Working Mom to Dreaming Big

Right now, I work full-time. I’m juggling motherhood, family life, and everything in between — and like so many moms, I dream about one day being able to stay home, raise my children, and build something meaningful for our future.

This website has become more than just an online store. It’s my way to share my creative thoughts, connect with other moms, and hopefully inspire someone else who’s trying to find their balance between work, family, and dreams.

Whether it’s mama-inspired designs, baby onesies, or something just plain fun — every product starts with a story, a thought, or a late-night idea I can’t wait to turn into something real.

Why Print on Demand

Let’s be honest: as much as I love being creative, I simply don’t have the time (or space!) to make shirts, stock inventory, and handle every order myself. Between working full-time and raising a baby, that’s just not realistic.

That’s why I chose Print on Demand — it allows me to design everything myself and work with trusted U.S.-based partners who print, pack, and ship each order directly to you. It’s efficient, it’s sustainable, and it means less waste (no big warehouses full of unsold products).

So yes, the prices might be a little higher than what you’d find at a big-box store — but you’re supporting a real mom, a small business, and a U.S.-based production team. Every order truly makes a difference.

💖 Why Your Support Means So Much

When you shop from The Salty Mama Co., you’re not just buying a shirt or a mug — you’re helping me take one step closer to my dream. You’re supporting late-night design sessions after bedtime, coffee-fueled mornings before work, and all the love that goes into each creation.

Your support helps me build something for my family — a future where I can be more present, more creative, and more connected to other moms who get it.

🌴 What’s Next

I have big plans for this little business! We’re planning to link up with Amazon soon to expand our reach and make it even easier for you to shop your favorite items. I’ll also be sharing product recommendations, mom-life tips, and things I personally used during pregnancy and beyond — all tried, loved, and mama-approved.

So, whether you’re here for a cute onesie, a cozy mom tee, or just to read and feel seen — thank you. Your clicks, your shares, your messages… they all mean the world to me.

Because this isn’t just a business. It’s a dream in motion, built one design, one post, and one late-night idea at a time. 💕
