One of my favorite parts about running this blog is discovering small businesses that are created by real moms, especially when their mission is rooted in faith and family. I’m so excited to share one of those shops with you today; Raising Warriors Co 21, founded by Lauren, a former emergency room nurse who followed God’s lead to build something entirely new and deeply impactful.
From Nurse to Business Owner
Lauren started Raising Warriors Co 21 during the whirlwind of 2020. At the time, she was working as an ER nurse in California and, like many healthcare workers, she saw what was coming with mandates and restrictions. She initially launched her business as a way to give a voice to those standing against what she saw happening in the medical field.
But what started as a bold statement quickly turned into something deeper. After being terminated from her position of over ten years, Lauren says she felt God pulling her away from political distractions and redirecting her heart toward Him and her family. That is when Raising Warriors Co 21 evolved into what it is today; a business built to glorify the Lord through Christian resources, gifts, and apparel.
Not Just for Homeschool Families
While Lauren and her family do homeschool and many of her products are perfect for homeschoolers or Sunday school teachers, her shop has something for every Christian parent. Whether you’re planning to homeschool, like I am, or simply want to create a more faith-filled environment at home, her resources make it easy and beautiful.
You’ll find:
- Christian printables for kids and families
- Encouraging wall art and decor
- Holiday and seasonal crafts
- Classical Conversations resources
- Apparel & accessories with bold, faith and crunchy-based messages
- Mother’s Day keepsakes
- Custom items for special occasions
She even involves her children in creating the designs, which I love. It is truly a family-run business with heart and purpose.
The Heart Behind the Name
Lauren chose the name Raising Warriors Co 21 because her mission is to raise a generation of children who will stand firm in their convictions. In a world that is constantly shifting, she is helping equip moms to raise kids who are grounded in Biblical truth and confident in who they are in Christ.
Whether you’re a homeschool mom, planning to homeschool, or just trying to build a Christ-centered home, you will find tools, gifts, and messages here that speak directly to your heart and values.

My Personal Review
I’ve had the chance to try a few items from Raising Warriors Co 21, and I was honestly so impressed with both the quality and the heart behind each piece.
First, I received the cutest Christmas printable that spelled out the word “JOY”; the “O” was left blank for a handprint. I picked up some affordable frames from Walmart and used paint to add my son’s handprint. It turned into the perfect gift for family last Christmas. I am already planning to make it a tradition. It will be difficult to choose which printable I would like to use for Christmas 2025 though because there are multiple cute options.
I also got a sweet Christian-themed printable for my son’s bedroom that adds a touch of truth and love to his space. These little things go such a long way in creating an intentional home.
One of my favorite items was the “Sourdough Slinger” t-shirt. The colors are so pretty and the design is fun without being over the top. If you bake sourdough, or know someone who does, it is a clever and thoughtful gift.
And lastly, I received the “Mama for Medical Freedom” sweatshirt. I cannot even tell you how many compliments I get on it from fellow crunchy moms. I love wearing something that makes a statement without saying a word. For me, having the freedom to make informed choices for my family is something I hold dear. I am not ashamed to say that I believe medical freedom is something that should always be protected here in the U.S.; being able to wear something that reflects that belief matters to me.
Summary
If you are looking for a shop that offers more than just cute things, one that also stands for something, then Raising Warriors Co 21 should definitely be on your list. I am so glad I found Lauren’s shop, and I know I’ll be back for more.
Let me know if you’ve tried any of her products or if you decide to grab something; I would love to hear what you think.
Until next time,
Maria Wilcoxon
