Welcome to my village!

Now let’s build yours!

Welcome to my crazy world, aka one hot mess of a mom. Haha 🤣

I have 5 beautiful kiddos 6yrs and under. Life if full of surprises and we are always running around. However during my postpartum journey I sadly, lost who I was and the ability for self care.

That’s when I realized I needed my mom village, especially when I moved to my husbands home town. This is when I saw the need to connect moms in the area with a sense of consistency. This is when Motherhood MeetUp was born. We are a group of moms who connect through stroller strides, coffee dates, mom’s night outs and play dates. I work with local businesses and national brands to sponsor our events so that you mommas can feel some love. Check out some of the special discounts I have for you on the next pages.

Being a mom to 5 crazy kids, being a full time student (aspiring L&D nurse) and a dog mom to 3 fur babies my life is a wild ride. If you love chaos then you can follow my journey of motherhood through @motherhood.meetup and @ChasingTheAlexanders you’ll find spots, vacation, friends, butte county things and most importantly my tips and tricks to sneak in the self care you need as a mom.

Motherhood has defined me for the past 5 years but this is time for me to get back to me. Getting outdoors doing the things I loved most and sharing that with my kids,

Perfection is not the answer here, just a step in the right direction. If I can do it so can you!

Don’t be shy to say hi, I love supporting other mommas is need of self care or just a quick chat.

Motherhood meet Up and EV Bloom have come together to bring to you, Rose Nominations 2025, Mother’s Day edition. 8 local businesses sponsored 250 roses to be delivered, by the help of 10 volunteer drivers, to moms that reside on the ridge. We then asked the community for help, to nominate a mom to receive a rose. You are receiving this rose because someone in your community wanted you to know just how much they value you and see the efforts and light you bring to each and every day. Let this rose be used to represent how much you are seen, appreciated, and valued. While our nomiators will remain anomyous, their messege is clear: you matter. Happy Mother's Day.
