Rooted + Rising: A Motherhood Blog for the Messy, Mindful, and Meaningful Days
Welcome to Ever + Alder—a little corner of the internet where motherhood, intentional living, and cozy graphic tees all meet under the same wild sky.
If you’ve found yourself here, maybe you’re a mama trying to catch her breath between snack refills and bedtime battles. Maybe you’re someone who’s craving deeper presence in your days. Maybe you just want a soft tee that says what your soul’s been whispering all along. You belong here.
A Blog for the Mothers Who Are Still Becoming
Ever + Alder started as a seed—a quiet idea in the middle of the night, in the middle of postpartum, in the middle of figuring it all out.
It’s a motherhood blog, yes. But it’s also a space for women who are more than just moms. Who are learning how to hold the chaos and the calm, the tantrums and the tenderness, the mess and the meaning.
Here, you’ll find:
- Gentle reflections on toddlerhood and emotional regulation
- Tools for mindful parenting and healing your nervous system
- Honest takes on postpartum identity shifts
- Encouragement to reset, reflect, and root into your own rhythm
Because motherhood isn’t a brand—it’s a becoming.
Where Living With Intention Meets Wearing It Too
Ever + Alder is also a graphic t-shirt and apparel shop created with softness and soul. Think cozy, minimalist staples that tell your story without you having to say a word.
Our collections are inspired by nature, motherhood, and quiet strength. A few customer favorites:
- Mountain Mama Tee – for the women raising babies and wild dreams in the great outdoors
- Cool Aunts Club Sweatshirt – because it takes a village, and the village deserves merch
We’re a small batch, mama-run business—and everything we make is designed to feel like home on your skin.
An Intentional Living Blog for the Overstimulated and Under slept
Life moves fast. We’re trying to slow it down—just enough to notice the sunlight through the trees, the way your child says “mama” like a song, the warmth of a favorite hoodie after a long day.
This blog is full of:
- Weekly reset rituals for moms
- Printable journal prompts to help you reconnect with yourself
- Gentle habit trackers and daily rhythm guides
- Ideas for seasonal living, slow parenting, and building a life you don’t need to escape from
I’m not an expert. I’m just walking this path with you—with an open heart and a messy bun.
Why Ever + Alder?
Because evergreen trees remind us to stay grounded. And alder trees are the first to grow back after a fire.
This is for the mothers rebuilding themselves. The women rising slow and steady. The families creating new traditions. The souls looking for something softer.
It’s not about doing it all. It’s about doing it on purpose.
Stay awhile.
