Our Mission

How It All Started

When I first became a mother, I quickly realized how much energy it takes to keep little ones entertained, cared for, and connected—while still craving community for myself.

One Saturday morning, my husband asked if we wanted to go to the park—and I just started crying. We’d already been to every playground in town that week, and I felt stuck in a loop. More than anything, I felt disconnected. I’d hear about local storytimes or fun things—like when the firetrucks came—only after they’d already happened. It felt like I was always one step behind, missing those little moments that make the week feel special.

I craved one hub—a single place where moms could stay informed and cut through the exhaustion of searching, the repetition of day-to-day schedules, and the longing for experiences that felt fresh, meaningful, and shared. If I could build something to help even one mother who felt the same way, it would be worth it. That moment became my why.

MoCo Mom was built to make early motherhood easier to navigate. With so many young families in Moore County—and a real shortage of full-time accessible childcare, sometimes forcing one parent to step away from a career—there needed to be a place where information was not only collected, but curated and trusted.

Whether it’s finding a preschool that fits your child (I used to think there were only four, but there are over 30 great options here in Moore County!!), discovering a backup plan to daycares with two-year waitlists, finding summer camps, or just knowing when the next storytime actually is—we exist to connect you with what’s already here.

Today, MoCo Mom is more than just a calendar or resource library—it’s becoming a community. We exist to help moms, dads, caregivers, and fellow superheroes to our littles feel seen, supported, and empowered to enjoy the season of life they’re in.

Why We Exist

What We Do

Curate & Simplify: We gather and organize hard-to-find details in one trusted place, so you don’t have to spend hours Googling between naps (or at 2 AM) and can focus on what actually matters.
Reduce the Noise: We’ve built a streamlined, clutter-free hub on our website, newsletter and Instagram—free from influencer spin or the pressure of being told you’re “doing it wrong” just to sell you something.
Build Community: Through our newsletter, membership, and team of local moms, we help you not just find answers but also your village.
Support Military Families: PCS life is tough. We provide tools for young families to find childcare before they even arrive and connect quickly to a new community.
Design Experiences: (New for Fall 2025!) We’re looking to create more experiential events—so you’re not stuck in the “Groundhog Day” cycle of endless park trips. From pizza-making playdates to seasonally themed gatherings, MoCo Mom is about more than filling time—it’s about making memories together.

We believe raising children should feel less isolating and more like a village. MoCo Mom exists to connect families with one another, with local businesses, schools, and resources, alongside experiences that can turn ordinary days into something special.

No matter how small the action, my team and I are working to make an impact. Whether you visit the website, open the newsletter, or join us in person—you’re part of a growing community that believes motherhood can be more connected.
