Our Why
Motherhood is often portrayed as the end of the line.
The narrative is that, as mothers, our lives are over. We don’t travel. We don’t go out with our friends anymore. There’s no pep in our step. We’re dedicated solely to being a mother — and nothing else.
It’s outdated.
Motherhood is more along the lines of a complicated, heart-wrenching, wonderful journey of love, self-acceptance, and, let’s be honest, hectic everyday challenges that can have you questioning everything. And in the rush of day-to-day, it can be hard to hold onto the joys of it.
But what if there was a way to find moments of calm and connection in the chaos?
What if a way to infuse your family time with peace and joyfulness was right at your fingertips — not brought about by occasional grand gestures, but woven into the fabric of your daily routine?
At Fort Sumpter, that’s what we’re about.
We thoughtfully create content and products for kids and parents: From storybooks that help you escape the everyday, to products that help every day be a touch easier, a touch calmer, and a whole lot more entertaining.
Because the joy of motherhood is already there, in little ways and big ways, threaded through our normality.
We just need moments of peace to find it.
