Fairfield County Mom is your trusted local parenting resource created by moms, for moms. Whether you’re searching for family-friendly events, parenting advice, local recommendations, or simply looking to feel connected, we’re here to help you navigate motherhood while celebrating the incredible community we call home.
Our team of 28 local contributors is made up of real Fairfield County moms who share authentic stories, parenting triumphs and challenges, favorite local spots, and firsthand experiences raising families right here in Connecticut. While we collaborate online, we’re also a close-knit community that loves getting together in person.
One of our favorite traditions is our annual Favorite Things Party, and this year we celebrated our 12th! Each contributor brought three identical gifts (all under $10!)—practical, fun, or simply something they can’t live without. Through a random gift exchange, everyone left with three new favorite finds, plenty of laughs, and lots of inspiration. It’s one of the many ways we strengthen our friendships while discovering products that make everyday mom life a little easier and a lot more fun.
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Five lucky readers will win our exclusive Fairfield County Mom Bag of Favorite Things, filled with hand-picked products from some of our favorite local businesses and brands. It’s our way of celebrating the incredible companies that support families throughout Fairfield County, and giving you the opportunity to discover some new favorites of your own.

gramms :: gramms is a clear whey protein brand founded by two best friends who couldn’t find a protein that was clean, light, and actually craveable. Made with 100% European grass-fed whey isolate, triple-filtered for clarity, gramms delivers 20g of complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, 80 calories, zero sugar, and just five simple ingredients. Unlike other clear proteins on the market that cut corners with collagen-first formulas, sucralose, and hidden supplement fact panels, gramms is fully transparent, with every batch third-party lab tested and results posted publicly at gramms.co/pages/lab-testing. Lactose-free at under 0.1%, free of sugar alcohols, artificial flavors, gums, and fillers, it mixes crystal clear like a lemonade or refresher, not a milky shake. Available in four craveable flavors, Lemonade, Strawberry Acai, Peach Tea, and Tropical Punch, gramms is the first protein people drink without thinking of it as protein, designed for real women’s real routines, not gym culture.
