We are truly blessed to have had worked with some really amazing companies not only for this party, but in the last year too! Check out these awesome swag bags the first 25 families took home.
We have to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to Leigh and everyone at Chick Fil A – Cotswold. You were so amazing and we had such a great time celebrating at Chick Fil A. The party wouldn’t have gone as smoothly or have been as much of a success if it weren’t for you. Guests got to munch on some delicious chicken minis and nugget trays (along with the amazing dessert spread too.)
Pickles Da Clown came out and did the best balloon twisting we’ve ever seen and Rapunzel came with her to paint the kids faces. They helped make this party so much fun and we are so appreciative of all their hard work. If you’re looking for entertainment for a kids party, Pickles will not disappoint!
We had four amazing local bakers put together some ravishing (and delicious) dessert trays. Nona’s Sweets did a delicious almond white sheet cake, Cakes by Meredith created some delicious mini cupcakes, Cupcrazed Cupcake Bar decorated some adorable mini cupcakes (topped with a crown, our logo!) and Skys The Limit! designed the beautiful cake pop display you see below.
We asked everyone who attended the party to vote on their favorite display. Now, without further ado, we are so excited to announce and show you the winner!
Congratulations to…….

I honestly cannot remember how I found The Charlotte Moms, but I am thankful every day that I did. From useful pregnancy information to helpful parenting tips, I can always count on you wonderful women to provide guidance to people like me–new moms. I was very appreciative of the advice on how to have meaningful non-commercialized Christmas traditions (thanks Lisa!) and it was great to meet some of you at All About Baby!
Thank you for your kind words Lollie! It was great to meet you too and we love hearing from our readers. Be sure to let us know what else we might help you with!
First, let me tell you the date I found out about Charlotte Moms it was…2/15 also know as today! I currently on leave after having my second son, Jackson and was on Facebook surfing around for area mom/parenting pages. Well I don’t need to look any further this is awesome. Loving y’all already!
Awww thanks Brandy. What a sweet thing to say. We’re so glad you’ve stopped by and if you need any parenting info or advice we’re here to help where we can. Feel free to post comments here or check us out on Facebook too. http://www.facebook.com/thecharlottemoms We are so happy to have you as a new reader. Congrats on your second little blessing!
I found Charlotte Mom’s through Heather Kirk’s FB page. We just recently moved to Matthews, so any sites that have to do with mamas and their kids I am SO into right now!!! So far, I have really enjoyed reading the updates on the blog as they come and look forward to learning more about different activities in the area as they come through this site and FB.
Thanks Tanya! Did you move within North Carolina or another state?? Also, how old are you little ones, we’ll try to give you some shout-outs when age appropriate things come up in our inboxes. Welcome and we’re glad to have you as a reader!
I live in Matthews now. We are expecting a baby girl March 23rd and have. 20 month old boy.
Thanks!
I found Charlotte Mom’s through an event they were part of at USA Baby for Britax. I met Jenn, demo’d the stroller and I heard more about Charlotte Mom’s from her. Now pregnant with our second, we’ll be going back to buy that Britax that we checked out a year ago and I’m still reading. I especially love that the Statement of Faith is the backbone through which everything here is filtered.
Mandy, it was so great meeting you and little mister “B” too. So excited for baby #2. Will we see you at the All About Baby showcase in March again? PS We love our opportunity to minister as well.
It’s been so long, I’m not quite sure how I was fortunate to learn about The Charlotte Moms. I’m so glad that I found you. It’s kind of hard to narrow down one favorite part of the site, considering I have many but if I have to it would be the Events & Activities section. I’m the mom who shares all the goodie kids events with all my friends with kids…so it definitely is helpful. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!
Thanks Kristen for reading and for your input on our sections. Is there a section we don’t have but you’d like to see??
I found out about you via Andrea Robson’s FB page! I enjoy reading about the fun things to do!
I was browsing the internet looking local sites for moms. I have 7 year old twins and always searching for ideas to keep them busy. Glad to have found this site! I hate I missed the anniversary celebration it looked like a blast.
My friend, Alex, told me about your FB page. I have enjoyed reading the blogs!
