The Heart Behind The Citizen & Co.
I want to kick off this blog by letting you know we’re so thankful you’re here. You are an amazing mama and your babies are blessed to have you!! (yes, YOU!)
My goal here is to educate, empower, and inspire you.
I want you to understand the heart behind The Citizen & Co. so you can join us, understand us, and grow with us. 2 years ago I, Kansas Michalke, became a mama to the sassiest girl around. I instantly fell in love with all things baby- but I was soon disappointed by the products everywhere. Books with false information, toys that were way too overstimulating, and clothes that just weren’t doing it! I wanted to create a one-stop shop where you can trust that everything you’re getting is hand-picked, quality, truthful, life-giving, purposeful, and beautiful. So The Citizen & Co. was created!
I quickly realized that God was calling me to create more than a store, but a safe place where all moms can come to learn and be supported. This is truly my passion! If you follow me on Instagram you know that I’m always sharing content and knowledge on parenting, from screen time to playrooms. I’ve tried my hardest to inspire moms everywhere to educate themselves on what is truly best for their kids. We believe at The Citizen & Co. that we shouldn’t “be conformed to the pattern of this world, “ because we were created for better (Romans 12:2)! I believe God created every one of us for a purpose and put talents in us so we can help the people around us and reflect His heart to those who are living in darkness and confusion. We’re called to show others truth, light, and love! It starts with educating ourselves and living it out at home first.
I know Mommin’ ain’t easy, you’re managing a household, trying to raise your children right, working, cooking, cleaning, teaching, playing, and way more. I want this blog to make your life easier and be a place where you can come and get filled up. A place where you can come and learn new things that will help your children and family become their best.
2 Corinthians 2:11 tells us to “get familiar with [Satan’s] evil schemes” so that “he will not outsmart us.”. The world is telling us not to have kids, that it’s selfish to bring them into this messed up world. We believe that’s a lie, an evil scheme from Satan to keep us from thriving and experiencing God’s plan for our lives. Our children are created for now and for a purpose- we’re here as parents to help them become the world changers they’re meant to be!
I’m inviting you with us on this mission to educate, empower, & inspire parents everywhere. We’re inviting you to help us provide our children with products that have a purpose, and clothe our children in truth.
We hope you’ll join us.
XOXO,
Kansas Michalke &
The Citizen + Co.
