About
Because Mama Always Knew Best — and We’re Finally Listening.
They told us not to run with scissors.
To say “please and thank you.”
And to remember that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
Turns out… Mama was onto something.
My Mama Said is a lighthearted celebration of the wisdom we grew up with — the sassy, sweet, and surprisingly timeless sayings that shaped us. It’s a reminder that, no matter where we come from, most of us were raised on the same kind of love, laughter, and lessons.
And maybe — just maybe — it’s time we bring a little of that back.
How It Started
After one too many exhausting news cycles and not enough kindness in the world, two “well-seasoned” grownups (with decades of life, laughter, and business experience between them) realized something:
the words that guided us as kids still make a whole lot of sense today.
From “Don’t get too big for your britches” to “A little kindness never hurt anybody,” these simple truths are what connect us. They cross generations, cultures, and continents — and they remind us that humanity hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s just waiting for a reason to smile again.
So, My Mama Said was born — not as a brand, but as a movement for a gentler, funnier, more connected world.
What We Do
We turn mama wisdom into something you can see, wear, sip from, and share — think cozy hoodies, tees, mugs, tote bags, and more, all printed with the sayings that echo through our memories.
Every design is a wink, a smile, or a knowing nod to the voices that raised us — part nostalgia, part attitude, and all heart.
Because sometimes, the best reminder of who we are… is something our mothers said years ago.
Why It Matters
We live in a world that could use a few more hugs and a lot fewer harsh words.
My Mama Said exists to remind people of what we share — humor, hope, and a heap of humanity.
It’s not just about products; it’s about a pause — that moment when someone reads your shirt or mug and smiles because it feels familiar. Because it feels like home.
Meet the People Behind the Apron Strings
Founded by two road-tested souls (she’s a lifelong nurturer and business leader; he’s a global traveler with a heart the size of his mom’s lasagna pan), the pair behind My Mama Said have lived long enough to know that laughter and kindness go a long way.
Their shared mission?
To keep those little bits of motherly wisdom alive — and pass them forward with love, humor, and a touch of sass.
