It’s Friday night, the kids are finally asleep, and you’re scrolling three different Facebook groups, a library calendar and a friend’s Instagram story, trying to figure out what to do with everyone on Saturday. Is the pumpkin patch open? Is that story time this week or next? Will it rain?
We’ve all been there. That’s exactly why we built the Fredericksburg Moms app, and today the waitlist is officially open.
Everything you can find on Fredericksburg Moms, in your pocket
For years, Fredericksburg Moms has been the place local families come to find things to do, trusted businesses and each other. The app brings all of it together in one spot, made just for families in Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania and the surrounding area.
Here’s a peek at what’s inside.
Every local event, in one place
Story times, festivals, library programs, classes and free family fun, all on one calendar. Filter for free events or family events with one tap, save the ones you want to go to, and the app will send you a reminder before they start. No more finding out about the best event of the month the day after it happened.
A plan for the day, in seconds
Every day, the app suggests a pick that actually fits the weather, so a rainy Tuesday comes with an indoor idea instead of a park. And when you want a whole outing planned for you, the Adventure Planner asks who’s coming and how much time you have, then gives you two easy plans with stops close together. Pick one and go!
550+ local places and businesses
Looking for a pediatric dentist, a birthday party spot, a swim school or somewhere the kids can run around? Our directory has more than 550 local businesses, parks and places, organized by category and shown on a map. You can reach out to a business right from its listing, and you’ll know these are places other local moms actually use.
Local deals, giveaways and your mom village
Find discounts and promo codes from local businesses, and enter our giveaways right in the app. Invite a friend and you’ll earn bonus entries when she joins. Plus, our community groups are made up of verified local moms, with groups for new-to-town moms, working moms, military moms and more. It’s the village you’ve been looking for, without the spam.

Own a local business?
Join the waitlist as a business, too! Every local business can have a free listing and a Business Portal to update your details, post events and share deals. If you’re already in our directory on fredericksburgmoms.com, your listing comes over to the app automatically, and you can claim it when we launch. Want to stand out? A Featured listing adds your logo and photos, a Featured badge, top placement in the directory and a contact form for parents.
