After living in Rockridge, Marin County, and Lake Tahoe, California, over the years, I was excited to return to Long Beach as a new mom. However, I missed my closest friends and family, who were either living across the state, across the country, or somewhere in between. Recognizing I had no local tribe, I knew I needed to create a connection with other moms in the area who were in the same situation as me. And that’s how Long Beach Moms was born. Founded in 2014, the group started with just a handful of members, then after word got out in the community, more moms joined. Since then, I’ve helped organize meet-ups in the park, group outings, charity events, and countless other opportunities to help support each other as moms. Because of our vetted group of incredible area moms, Long Beach Moms CA has become the premier trusted source for navigating motherhood in the Long Beach community. With my vision for the group, it’s been thrilling to watch our community of supportive moms grow and help each other be the best versions of themselves possible. I can only hope our amazing group of moms continue to give back to the thriving Long Beach Moms community. Creating a new generation of support, so no moms ever feel they are alone in this wild and wonderful tribe we call motherhood, is what Long Beach Moms is all about. And so with all of this support, and resources available within our group from local mamas; Long Beach Moms is a resource to all types of mamas that are amazing caregivers, partners, educators, and more. We are mamas that are self-driven entrepreneurs, community supporters, and self-care experts, and we like to mingle, meet-up, learn, and discover all that motherhood and Long Beach has to offer all while laughing, losing sleep, and trading tips on what to make for dinner. Thanks for your support in allowing a space that which mamas come together to help each other out in whatever way that may be.With much gratitude,Angelica Wheaton
