April Mucci – The Local Mom behind Lakeland Mom
Hello! I’m April and I’m grateful you’re here.
As a lifelong Lakelander raising two boys here, I’m deeply invested in this community — and in helping businesses like yours connect with the families who live here.
My family has operated a local entertainment center in Lakeland for over 40 years, and I understand the value of great service and strong community ties.
Lakeland Mom brings together my love for connecting with local parents and local businesses, and sharing all that Polk County has to offer. When you advertise here, your dollars stay in the community — supporting a local business that supports you in return.
Support Local Families While Growing Your Business
When you advertise with Lakeland Mom, you’re not just buying ad space — you’re helping us keep trusted content free for the families who rely on it.
We intentionally keep our pricing accessible for local businesses — while delivering the kind of reach and trust that larger platforms charge far more for.
Lakeland Mom is independently owned, locally run, and community-first. We keep things simple so we can stay focused on what matters: helping families and local businesses connect.
