We are thrilled to share our excitement for our 10th Annual Moms Like Me which will be here in 54 short days! The event will take place at The ELM, on Sunday, March 1 from 5-7 pm. This is a HUGE milestone for our community and we encourage everyone to attend -- tickets are already available for purchase on our website! Go grab them now.

Over the past nine years, 29 incredible storytellers and 14 musicians have bravely taken the stage to share their raw, real, and powerful journeys into motherhood. Each of these women have helped shape Moms Like Me into what it is today: a celebration of motherhood, resilience, connection, and truth-telling.

This year we have three new storytellers and four musicians preparing for this year's event!

The power of storytelling cannot be overstated. The collective impact of Moms Like Me reaches far beyond the annual event—it lives in the hearts of those who’ve listened, those who’ve felt seen, and those who’ve found the courage to share their own truths because each mother before has shared hers.

As we prepare to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Moms Like Me, we encourage all in our community to attend and experience the power of storytelling and connection.

This event is open to all who love and support mothers.

FREE childcare will once again be available via (stay tuned for more info on how to register your little ones).

If finances are a barrier for you to attend Moms Like Me, please reach out to suzanne@rootsfamilycollaborative.com.

Please share with your friends, family, co-workers, parents, sisters, brothers, aunties, uncles . . . The 10th Annual Moms Like Me is not to be missed.

"Beginning in January 2026, new and expecting mothers can take advantage of a helpful resource in Big Sky. Blossom Mom Big Sky will offer weekly peer support sessions every Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Wellness in Action.

The group is organized by Bozeman-based Roots Family Collaborative, hosted in partnership with WIA and made possible by a grant from the Moonlight Community Foundation. Sessions will be facilitated by licensed counselor Julie Grimm, a trained volunteer facilitator with Roots and mother with lived experience, in a confidential, supportive and comfortable space, according to a press release from Roots Family Collaborative."

As we welcome the new year, we’re excited to share our 10th annual Perinatal Resource Guide: Resources for Growing Your Family—featuring 90+ providers serving Gallatin and Park Counties and beyond, including telehealth support.

In Montana, pregnancy and early parenthood can be deeply isolating—especially in rural communities. Roots is working to close that gap by expanding access to connection and care in places like Livingston and Big Sky.

We’re reaching families beyond Bozeman with our resource guide—but the need for in-person support is growing faster than our capacity.

And right now, every gift goes twice as far. We have a $20,000 match and $13,500 left to unlock, doubling your impact and helping us bring vital programs to families across our region.

Make a gift today so support that extends beyond county lines. Link in our bio.

We may be pausing for the holidays, but our roots are still growing....

While our programming takes a brief holiday break, we’re excited to pick up right where we left off in the new year with our weekly and monthly peer support groups— and to share new offerings we’re especially proud of:
🌱 Blossom Mom Big Sky, in partnership with and
🌑 Mother Roots, a monthly new moon circle welcoming mothers at any stage of the journey

For nearly a decade, Roots Family Collaborative has been a lifeline for families in Southwest Montana, supporting thousands of expecting, new, and wishful parents as they navigate one of life’s most profound transitions.

And still, there are families we aren’t reaching yet.
💭 The mom working full time outside Livingston, or Ennis who wants in-person connection
💭 The parent driving in from Clarkston each week for support
💭 Spanish-speaking families seeking care and community in their language

The need is real. Postpartum depression impacts nearly 15% of Montana mothers, exceeding the national average—and it remains the leading complication of childbirth.

💛 Together, we can change this.

Thanks to generous community support, $20,000 in matching funds are available for our end-of-year fundraising campaign. Every gift to Roots will be doubled, extending our reach and ensuring no family has to navigate this season alone.

👉 Give now and double your impact.
Investing in families is an investment in our collective future—and the time is now.

As the light is returning (yay!) we are finding some moments to reflect on 2025. This was definitely one of our favorite moments of the year. Moms Like Me is such an important and powerful event bringing people together to honor the beauty and complexity of motherhood. It allows people to connect deeply to the power of storytelling and opens people to the support Roots provides connecting families from preconception to parenthood. Roots is only one call away 🥹❤️

Roots exists in the community because people like you understand why supporting families is such a big investment in our future. Healthy families create healthy communities.

If you haven't had a chance to chip in during our Year End campaign, the time is now. Donations of any size are welcome and all gifts will be doubled from now until December 31!!!

Families find Roots for many different reasons from preconception to parenthood, including the heartbreak of losing a baby like Jen and Erik, but the constant is connection. Roots brings people together during a very tender time in life and we know that this kind of support is essential for all families.

But we don't do this alone. Supporting families from preconception to parenthood is one of the most important ways to invest in our community and our future.

When you give to Roots before December 31 you are committing to helping us reach the families who need us most ensuring no family walks this road alone.

Link to donate is in our bio or on website. All gifts made before December 31 will be doubled. ❤️
