Balancing Business & Bottles: How a Mom of Twins Built T is For Tame While Raising Her Family

The Morning Rush (and the Magic Hidden Inside It)

‍

If you’ve ever tried to take a work call while searching for a lost sippy cup, you’re in good company. For Becky, mom of twin boys and founder of T is for Tame, mornings are beautifully chaotic.

‍

They start early — always before the coffee kicks in — with two different breakfasts, one school outfit that suddenly “feels itchy,” and a quick game of “where’s my shoe?” before the day begins.

‍

But in between the cereal spills and school drop-off hugs, there’s something else: purpose. “My mornings remind me why I started this brand,” Becky says. “T is for Tame was born out of that everyday chaos — I just wanted something that made life a little easier for parents like me.”

‍

From Mom Moments to a Mission

‍

Becky didn’t plan to start a company. She planned to get through the toddler years with her sanity intact. But when she realized there weren’t safe, gentle products made specifically for taming kids’ hair, she saw a gap — and a chance to fill it.

‍

So, between naps and snack times, she began developing formulas in her kitchen. What started as a small mom-made solution became a nationally loved brand featured in Good Housekeeping, Amazon Launchpad, and on the shelves of major retailers.

‍

Yet even with all that growth, Becky never stopped being “mom first.”

‍

The Myth of Balance — and What Actually Works

‍

Becky’s biggest secret? She doesn’t chase balance. “Some days, the business gets more of me. Other days, my kids do. I used to feel guilty about that, but now I focus on harmony instead,” she says.

‍

Here are a few things that keep her grounded:

‍

• The 3-Hour Rule: break your day into three chunks — focus, family, and reset. “You can’t be everything at once, but you can be present in each moment.”
  
  
• Involve Your Kids: Becky’s twins help test products, pack boxes, and even make cameos in photo shoots. “They’re proud to be part of it — and it helps them see what hard work looks like.”
  
  
• Grace Over Perfection: when the day unravels, she reminds herself: “I can do anything, just not everything.”

‍

Finding Calm in the Chaos

‍

Running a business and raising kids means there’s rarely a quiet moment, but Becky has learned to protect small pieces of peace.

‍

Sometimes it’s a short walk after school drop-off, sometimes it’s lighting her favorite candle during a late-night work session. “Self-care doesn’t have to look perfect,” she says. “It’s about little resets that help you feel human again.”

‍

She also believes in asking for help — from her husband, her friends, or her “village” of fellow moms who get it. “You don’t have to do it alone. None of us should.”

‍

What Motherhood Taught Her About Leadership

‍

Motherhood, Becky says, gave her more than inspiration — it gave her skills. “Being a mom teaches you patience, creativity, empathy, and problem-solving — all the things you need to run a business.”

‍

She learned how to pivot when things go wrong, celebrate small wins, and lead with kindness. “The way I treat my team is the way I parent — with care, understanding, and the belief that everyone’s trying their best.”

‍

A Message to Every Working Mom

‍

If you’re a mom reading this and wondering how to juggle it all, Becky wants you to know: you already are. “You’re doing more than you think, and you’re doing it beautifully — even on the messy days.”

‍

You don’t have to choose between being a loving parent and a passionate professional. You just have to give yourself permission to do both, imperfectly and joyfully.

‍

Because at the end of the day, your kids don’t need a perfect mom — they need a happy one. 💛
