Where local moms and littles grow together

Originally from the small town of Romeo, I’ve planted my roots in Troy. I wear many hats—Mom, Wife, Realtor, Founder of LLS, and dedicated Bravo fan.​

​

Becoming a mother was one of the best things that ever happened to me, but stepping into this new chapter wasn’t always easy. I found myself feeling lost, lacking confidence, and craving a community of women who truly understood what I was going through.

​

One day, I put out a simple poll on social media asking if anyone would be interested in a mom walk—and 40 moms responded. That’s when Locals & Littles Society was born.

LLS has become so much more than I ever imagined. It’s a place where moms connect, support each other, and feel seen. I love bringing people together for the greater good, and I’m beyond grateful for this community—not just for myself, but for my son, Calvin, whose social skills have flourished because of it.

​

In addition, I am a  Realtor based in Southeast Michigan, I help growing families navigate their next chapter in Oakland, Macomb County, and surrounding areas. Alongside my husband, we bring our passion and expertise as a husband-and-wife real estate team, guiding clients through buying, selling, and investing with confidence.

Hi, I'm Jessie! I was born and raised in Shelby Township, and this community has always been my home. I first met my fiancé, Montana, when I was 16. Although life took us on different paths for a while, we reconnected later and now share a wonderful journey together. We have one quirky son, Wylder, and we're eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little wildflower. Our lively household also includes two dogs—Aussie and our Golden Retriever—and a spirited cat.

​

I joined Locals & Littles Society after the very first event, thanks to my friend Monica sharing it on social media. That day, I discovered an incredible community of mamas who have become like family. Watching our children grow and our community strengthen over time fills me with joy.

​

When I'm not spending quality time with my family, I enjoy hitting the golf course, relaxing with friends, or spending time near the water and in nature. I'm also passionate about my business, The Admin Rescuer, where I help business owners grow their ventures and gain the freedom they deserve.

Originally from Rochester Hills and now rooted in Oxford, I'm a devoted stay-at-home mom of three—a wonderful stepdaughter and two amazing biological children. I understand the beauty and challenges of blended family life and embraces the joys and chaos of motherhood with authenticity and warmth, creating a supportive space where all moms feel valued and understood. With a background in anthropology, I bring a unique perspective. I believe that understanding people - our histories and shared experiences - help create stronger, more supportive communities.

​​

Beyond motherhood, I find joy in nurturing plants, getting lost in a good book, and exploring the great outdoors. Whether tending to my houseplants, diving into a new story, or soaking up nature with my family, I believe in the power of simple moments to bring peace and inspiration.

​

Locals and Littles Society changed my life. I discovered the initial

inquiry in a mom’s Facebook group when I had a 9-month-old and was already heavily pregnant with my second. My first postpartum experience was isolating, and I knew I had to do things differently this time. After going to the first event, I attended nearly every walk until I gave birth, and soon after, I couldn’t wait to return. When we did, my newborn and I were welcomed back with so much love. I knew—this was for us.

Now, both my toddler and baby love the activities and friendships we’ve built. Locals & Littles Society has given us community, connection, and a true sense of belonging. I’m so grateful!

My name is Cheyanne and I live in Clarkston with my husband Grant, our son Arthur, dog Callie & cat Ophelia! We bought a house, got married and got pregnant all in 2023, what a whirlwind that was! I also completed my Associate’s degree in Mental Health/Social work in the midst of all of that. I was working towards a Bachelor’s of Social Work degree, but decided to drop the program to become a stay at home mom.

 

While I was still pregnant with Arthur, my friend Sydney told me about Locals & Littles Society, and I joined immediately! I met up with a group of girls from LLS when I was only 3 weeks postpartum. When I say this group saved me, I mean it. The connections and memories I have made in this community have eased the transition into motherhood. I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone when I did, as LLS has helped me feel supported and less alone on this journey.

 

Outside of being a mom, I enjoy reading romance & nonfiction, watching reality-TV and rom-coms, anything outdoorsy, meditating & breath work, exercising, painting & drawing, shopping, content creating & am an obsessive plant momma!

My name is Megan Cooke and I am a 25 year old first-time mama of a beautiful one year old named Aurora. My husband James and I reside in Northville, MI but I grew up in Macomb, MI for 20 years. We have two doggos that are also a huge part of our family, an english bulldog & a shihtzu.

 

My daughter & I found LLS when she had just turned a year old and was starting to walk. I felt like I was chasing her all over my house and that we needed to get both of our energy out in a fun and safe way. We went to our first event and I loved how much socialization my little one was able to get with the other kiddos. It was also fantastic to not be the only one chasing their toddler around like a crazy person

​

Currently I am a stay at home mama (formerly a market researcher) who loves to read romance/fantasy/crime books, listens to punk/alternatice music, yoga, Bravo Television, some good ole youtubers and loves to be surrounded by positive energy

Hi, I’m Alexa, a stay-at-home mom of three and a proud Mombassador for Locals and Littles Society! I grew up in Shelby Township and now call Almont home, where I’m soaking up every messy, beautiful moment of motherhood—the chaos, the love, and the endless laughter. 

 

Being a mom is truly the greatest gift, but I’ve also learned how much it means to have a village around you—and that’s exactly why I’m so passionate about this community. I’m incredibly grateful to have found this wonderful group of mamas who lift each other up, because let’s be honest… motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

 

When I’m not chasing little ones or folding yet another load of laundry, I love sneaking away for a girls’ night out, browsing my favorite shops, experimenting with new recipes, or heading up north with my family for a little reset. Oh—and I’ve recently taken up golf! It’s definitely a work in progress, but I’m loving the challenge.

 

I’m so thrilled to be part of Locals and Littles and to help other moms find the support, friendship, and joy that every mama deserves. Let’s navigate this wild, wonderful journey together—you’re never alone here

My name is Devin! Originally from White Lake, I’ve now rooted myself in Farmington Hills with my Husband and our two little ones, Eviana and Kaladin. My husband and I met through Oak Pointe Church’s young adult group, and we’re now part of Hill City — a growing church that’s become home for our family.

​

I joined Locals & Littles a little over a year ago after a friend posted about it online. At the time, I was looking for a way to get out of the house, meet other moms, and find community in this new season of life — and this group has been all of that and more. My daughter Eviana absolutely loves being part of the walks — making new friends, seeing other babies, and soaking in all the new experiences. It’s become a highlight for both of us.

​

I am currently a stay at home mom but outside of motherhood,  I love music (really any kind), walks, rom-coms/reality TV, and organizing/decorating! I also have a nursing degree and plan to take my board exam soon (because let’s be real — motherhood doesn’t leave much free time!). I’ve always had a passion for helping others and bringing people together!
