We are thrilled to announce Bloom: An Event For New and Expecting Mothers taking place at the McLaren Hospitality House on Thursday, May 9th, 2019! This popular event is a favorite for Mid-Michigan area mothers, women, and parents. Whether you are considering adoption, becoming a foster parent, an expecting mom or a mom of four – this event is to celebrate you! It is rare that we as moms can get out and about on our own, and Bloom is all about taking an evening off and getting away from the routine for a celebration that’s all about YOU. (This is indeed a kid-free event, with the exception of young nurslings.) Attendees can expect swag, giveaways, food, speakers, and more! At Bloom, you will hear from baby experts in a variety of fields and will be able to ask questions, do some shopping, sample some tasty treats, and mingle.
We hope to meet you soon and would love for you to follow along on our Facebook Event for exciting event updates and giveaways!
