What: Bloom is a national event for new and expecting moms hosted by City Moms Collective and our sister sites, which would have been taking place in more than 50 cities across the country during the months of April and May. Last year, there were 53 host cities and over 5000 moms in attendance! This year we hosted virtual events all across the country and it was even bigger and better than ever!
Why: Whether you’re expecting for the first or third time, have a newborn at home, or are working your way through the toddler years and thinking of expanding your family in the future, this event is for you.
Come enjoy an evening of fun, educational components, giveaways and swag, and connecting moms and families to local relevant resources!
