Our mission at The Bedford Mom is to support local moms by providing helpful resources and information about ways to connect with one another and the larger community. The Bedford Mom hosts gatherings and events and also partners with local organizations and businesses to provide opportunities for moms to engage and feel more connected.
The Bedford Mom is a great resource for staying up to date on local events, volunteer opportunities, and all there is to know about Bedford. We care deeply about our community and are excited to share all that it has to offer!
We are so happy you found us and hope you grab a cup of coffee or tea (or even a glass of wine), get comfy, and stay awhile! In addition, we’d love for you to connect with us on Facebook and Instagram!

Meg Petrosillo
My name is Meg Petrosillo and I founded The Bedford Mom in June 2022. I live in Bedford with my husband Robert, 4 year old daughter, and our two orange cats, Bert and Ernie. I work for a small education curriculum company. I also serve on the Educational Farm of Joppa Hill’s Board of Directors, where I support educational programming including Joppa’s popular 8 week summer camp. We moved to Bedford in 2017, so we have been here about 8 years. Time sure flies!
Cristina Lambros
Hi! My name is Cristina Lambros. I’m originally from New York, but have been living in New England since 2006. My husband and I moved to Bedford in 2019 with our growing family and hope to never leave! I used to work as a school-based speech-language pathologist, but for now I’m enjoying being a stay-at-home mom to my three boys (ages 7, 5, and 3) and exploring all that Bedford and NH has to offer.
Jamie Stein
My name is Jamie Stein and I live in Bedford with my husband, Joe, and our three children. We are originally from Maine and moved to Bedford in 2021. I am a stay at home mom and volunteer with Bedford’s Trail Stewards and at our children’s schools. As a family we enjoy a variety of outdoor activities and sports including hiking, gardening, horseback riding, biking, swimming, baseball, and tennis to name a few!
Bonnie Welden
Hello! Bonnie Welden here. I’ve been a Bedford mom since 2017. My husband and I have three sweet and curious kiddos and a rescue pup. I’m originally from MN but consider NH to be my home. I have my master’s degree in Geriatric Social Work but am currently taking time to be home with my kids. Hope to see you around town!
Manessa Lins
Manessa Lins here…coming to you from the great outdoors, hopefully!
I moved to southern New Hampshire from northern Vermont in 2000 and made Bedford home for my 3 daughters in 2012.
After working in employee benefits compliance for 18 years, I ventured into the world of entrepreneurship. In 2020, I opened a yard sign rental service with franchise location Card My Yard – Bedford and in 2024, I opened 603 Pet Nanny, LLC a premier pet sitting service.
Whether supporting a community initiative, walking pups, playing with cats, feeding chickens, or just out exploring, spreading joy is at the heart of who I am. Thanks for making the connection and see you soon!
Jackie Tewksbury
Hey there – I’m Jackie. I’ve called Bedford home since 2019, where I live with my husband, two daughters, and our rescue pup. I work as the Director of Experience Research and Strategy for a software company, blending innovation with user-centered design. I’m also proud to serve on the board of the AYA Cancer Alliance, in addition to The Bedford Mom. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hanging with friends, organizing (because who doesn’t love a good system?), and shuttling my kids to their latest activities. Life’s busy, but it’s always an adventure!
