On Saturday, June 10, 2023 we raised a glass to Fairfield County Mom! Cheers to ten amazing years of helping moms feel a little less alone and more empowered to tackle the challenges and triumphs of motherhood! Cheers to ten amazing years of sharing products and resources (some local and some national) that make life easier and more meaningful! Cheers to ten years of celebrating our community and all it has to offer!
We also raised a glass to our fearless leader, Michelle! Ten years ago, she pushed herself out of her comfort zone, writing and opening up about being a mother to three children under three. She started as a contributor, became the Editor-in-Chief, and then became co-owner. Michelle is now the sole owner of Fairfield County Mom (and Westchester County Mom in NY). She has worked incredibly hard to make this site so much more than just a mommy blog.
We raised a glass to our contributors, the backbone of Fairfield County Mom! Amazing women throughout Fairfield County share their unique stories about life. Their perspectives are significant and meaningful and they help shape the community we are building with every blog post and story!
Finally, we raised our glasses to all the amazing businesses we partner with. As a leading parenting resource in the area, we strive to share these establishments in hopes that they make a difference in our followers’ lives!
Our celebration was perfect! And we could not have done it without the help of a few local businesses! When we partner with different organizations, we are thoughtful in our choices. We want to collaborate with businesses we trust and are proud to share with our following!
