ABOUT US

Hey there!

I’m Jesse — mom of two and the one-woman show behind Tickled T.

It all started with a Halloween problem: my 9-year-old daughter was less than impressed with the Halloween themed shirts that were available at the "big stores" in town. After she shot down the 20th shirt, I asked her what she was looking for, she said she wanted something based on our naughty black cat, Catapillar, because "Halloween is her month". My 12-year-old son then interjected that he  wanted "skeletons doing things outside, no little kid stuff". Exasperated, my daughter turned to me and asked, “Mom, can you just make me some?” So I did and Tickled T was born.

(Catapillar the Cat. She's a Manx, born with no tail. Halloween decoration on the right....hahaha!)

We live on a dirt road in rural Montana where the kids love to be outside — riding horses, hunting for frogs, fishing, and convincing me that every chicken needs a name. Neither one of my kiddos are into popular franchises, like Disney or the Marvel. Especially my daughter, she loves all living creatures with her whole heart. She lives for the whimsical and small everyday celebrations. Nothing makes her happier than to wear a T-shirt with a design story she loves.

If the kids in your life light up at anything furry, feathered, scaly, or creepy-crawly… these shirts were made for them (and for the parents who get it).

Thanks for stopping by. I hope something here makes your kid grin ear-to-ear and leaves them Tickled.

All the Best,

Jesse
