Little Blue Cart began with a single, honest moment. Kate recommended a local photographer, and Erin asked, “But who did she vote for?” That question changed everything. It sparked the realization that our purchases—every single one—carry power. After the 2024 election, we turned that idea turned into action and build Little Blue Cart around a kitchen table. Our goal is simple: make it easy to support businesses that share our values of democracy, equality, and freedom.

As military spouses with over 30 years of combined experience running small businesses, we know the juggle all too well: the moves, the restarts, the kids, the late nights, and the drive to keep creating something meaningful no matter where you land. Every relocation taught us something about grit and how powerful small business owners can be when they refuse to give up. That resilience became our mission: to lift up others doing the same.

Little Blue Cart is a growing movement connecting conscious consumers with progressive, values-driven businesses. And this isn’t just about shopping. It’s about shaping the kind of future we all deserve: one cart, one choice, one community at a time.
