motherhood can also be lonely and overwhelming. It is the overarching
mission of Red Stick Moms Blog to connect local moms both online and off,”
said Ashley Angelico, co-owner of Red Stick Moms Blog. “One way
we do this is to create meaningful experiences in person, like Bloom,
for women to connect with other moms in their immediate community."
