At Pink Chicken, every piece we create is designed with love—and moms are often the ones making that love shine brightest. In honor of Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the real-life mamas who bring PC to life in their own special way. Whether it’s matching with their minis, or simply styling their littles for everyday adventures, these moms embody the spirit of joy, play, and effortless style we hold dear.

What advice would you give your pre-mom self?
"Take the trip to Bali! Hahaha. I would say make sure you pick the right husband because that really does make all the difference when you have someone reliable and who gets you and can be a really good teammate. Also our kids are little versions of him so it’s so fun to see how silly they are and how much they pick up from both of us."
How/when did you discover Pink Chicken?
"While living in Boston I saw a few discoveries of Pink Chicken pop up and was intrigued by the brand; the whimsy and bohemian aspect while also city chic. When we moved to Charleston we found the Pink Chicken Store on King Street and became instant fans! By that time we had two boys and a girl and I fell in love with the dresses and matching brother outfits along with the ability to wear the fabrics in Charleston weather."

What’s a moment with your little/littles you’ll never forget?
"The two older ones meeting their baby brother for the first time. They were so excited the whole pregnancy and that has continued since he was born. They just giggled and took turns holding him and taking pics (in their matching PC, of course!)"
What’s been the most surprising thing about becoming a mom?
"They’re still all pretty little — so I’m just constantly surprised that they are ours. And that they look so alike and like us (much more my husband, of course). And how their little personalities just keep emerging - they honestly surprise me every day with how curious and smart they are!"
