Lakeland MomCo at Lakeland Community Church, Lake Geneva

Before we go into the details on MomCo. Let me just say that I have been in MomCo for 3 years, and this is a great place to find your friends. Some of my best friends are people I met at a MomCo meeting. When I talk about connections, I truly mean it. Moms tell us their dreams, we introduce them to other moms that can move that dream forward. Moms tell us their struggles, and the cavalry is there with food, clothes, health resources, and child care to take the weight off. I personally have always wanted to learn to sew and one of our amazing mentor moms (yeah, we have those), took her time to teach a group of us how to use our sewing machines. MomCo is getting exactly what you need in life at that moment from moms who get it.

Lakeland MomCo — Where Moms Can Truly Exhale – If you’ve been looking for a place where motherhood feels a little lighter, a little funnier, and a lot more supported, Lakeland MomCo might be exactly the community you’ve been craving. For two beautiful hours, moms gather for hot meals, heartfelt conversation, shared wisdom, and genuine friendship — the kind of space where you can exhale, laugh about the chaos, and feel that therapeutic “oh good, it’s not just me” relief.
• Hot meals for moms
• Talking, laughing, and sharing ideas
• A little therapeutic, a lot encouraging

What Happens at Lakeland MomCo – No two meetings look the same, which keeps things fun and fresh. Sometimes there’s a topic to dive into, sometimes a speaker comes in to share insight, and other weeks you might be doing crafts, enjoying gift or food exchanges, or playing games and activities that spark joy and connection. At the heart of it all is simple: this group is really here for the moms — to make sure you feel seen, supported, and not alone.
• Topic discussions and guest speakers
• Crafts, gift and food exchanges
• Games and activities that build friendship

Childcare So You Can Actually Relax – To help moms fully unwind, Lakeland MomCo offers childcare with the sweetest staff. Your littles are cared for, engaged, and happy while you enjoy your two hours of adult conversation and rest. Afterward, you can scoop up your kids and head right outside to Lakeland Park, which is its own remarkable kids’ bop — a fun, kid-approved play space that feels like a little adventure after a morning of connection.
• On-site childcare with a loving team
• Two hours focused on you
• Post-meeting playtime at Lakeland Park

Membership & Perks – Joining Lakeland MomCo is only $75 a year, and that includes national membership. With that comes a quarterly magazine, monthly perks, and access to a wider MomCo community that stretches beyond Lakeland. For the price of a few takeout meals, you get a year of support, friendship, and encouragement — plus a place that feels like a soft landing in the middle of real life.

• Includes national MomCo membership
• Quarterly magazine and monthly perks
