Here is how we got started: Once upon a time there was a young Mother who was trying to study her scriptures. Here is her story:
"My name is Amy and I am an LDS mother of 3. My youngest is 4 years old and suffers from superhero obsessive compulsive disorder (SOCD). He has a closet of clothing but will only wear the 4 shirts with superheroes on them. Two of these shirts are pajama shirts but frankly, I am glad to have them so that the other two can escape for a trip through the laundry now and then.

One day after at least 3 minutes of uninterrupted scripture study, my youngest became highly upset, due to the fact that he couldn't find his superman shirt and could I go look for it. I knew perfectly well that it was under some things in the laundry basket waiting for it's turn in the washing machine. With a big sigh, I wished how I had a Moroni superhero shirt that he could poor all this matchless enthusiasm into and the idea was born! I'll make one! And visions of replacing Superman, Spider-Man and the others with Moroni, Nephi, and all our true life heroes danced in my head.

Since then, I have partnered up with DKay, my best friend and fellow supermom."

And now you know the story.

Our goal is a "SuperHero Paradigm Shift" for the rising generation. May they come to see Noah, Moses, Esther, and the rest as the superheroes they really are!

We hope to add many more heroes, provide posters for bedroom walls, and create a coloring book in the near future. For now, we hope that these shirts provide a nice option for families suffering from SOCD!
