Central Mass Mom has experienced remarkable growth in the past year. In April, I took the leap and transitioned to running Central Mass Mom full-time. In September, our team welcomed 12 new contributing writers.
Since its inception, Central Mass Mom has published over 750 blog posts, including 269 this year alone! We’ve significantly increased our community engagement, by hosting 17 kid-inclusive meet-ups, culminating in our largest event yet: Cookies with Santa, which welcomed over 300 attendees in November.

Our social media reach has exploded, surpassing 10 million accounts this year! A monumental increase from the 250,000 reached in 2023. This growth has enabled us to forge partnerships with 75+ local businesses, tripling our 2023 collaborations. Launched this year, our local business directory continues to thrive, showcasing over 40 (and growing) exceptional businesses within Central Mass.
We continue to foster a supportive environment where moms can connect, relax, and build friendships, while also promoting local businesses that enhance their lives and contribute to the vibrancy of our community.
Personally, as I leaped into being self-employed, I deepened connections with other local business owners and built many more new connections that have turned into genuine friendships. I feel lucky beyond words to lead this organization and community. Because of Central Mass Mom, I continue to meet so many amazing women, and I know I’m not alone in that. I can’t thank you enough for being here and for allowing me to live this dream.
