There’s a version of this morning that stays professional and polished. And then there’s the real version — the one where Rose’s son tagged along for the very first time, where conversations at the booth went long because there was actually something worth talking about, and where the Bethlehem Rose Garden felt less like a market and more like a neighborhood.

That’s the version worth writing about.

A Market Built for Moms, By Moms

The Mom Market is exactly what it sounds like — and also more than that. Founded by Devika Knafo to increase visibility for women entrepreneurs and create a support network for mothers balancing business and family, the spring 2026 edition brought together more than 75 women-owned businesses at the Bethlehem Rose Garden.

Vendor booths, interactive workshops, wellness programming, and a power Pilates class to kick things off at 9 a.m. A full morning. The kind of event where you arrive expecting to hand out cards and leave having had conversations you actually think about on the drive home.

Why Rose Harper Law Showed Up With a Booth

Rose Harper didn’t just attend — she set up a booth. Because showing up as a sponsor or a spectator is one thing. Showing up as a participant, standing alongside the vendors, the makers, the service providers, the mothers who are building something real in the Lehigh Valley — that’s a different kind of presence.

As a mother of three who has built her own firm while raising her family, Rose understands the particular arithmetic of that life: how you calculate what to give to each thing, how you decide when your kids should see what you do, and what it means when they actually want to come along.

This was the first time her son joined her at an event like this. He spent the morning at the booth, watching his mother talk to people — really talk to them, not pitch them — about what Rose Harper Law does and why it matters to the communities they serve.

What the Morning Actually Looked Like

The Bethlehem Rose Garden in May is exactly as good as it sounds. Blooms everywhere, vendors spread out across the grounds, the smell of good food and something that might have been lavender from one of the nearby booths. The kind of setting that makes it easy to slow down and actually talk.

Rose’s son took it all in quietly at first — the way kids do when they’re observing something new. And then, in that way kids also do, he started asking questions. About the vendors, about what different businesses sold, about why his mom was there and what she was saying to people.

That’s actually the most useful summary of what the morning was: it was the kind of day worth explaining to a child. Worth showing up for. Worth bringing your family to.

How This Connects to What We Do

Events like The Mom Market remind us that the people who walk into Rose Harper Law’s office after an accident are the same people who build businesses, raise children, show up for their communities, and — in the middle of all of it — get hurt by someone else’s negligence and don’t know what to do next.

That’s who we’re here for. Not as a category of client. As actual people we may have met at a market, at a community event, at a table where someone was selling something they made with their own hands.

Rose Harper Law serves clients across the Lehigh Valley — Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Whitehall, and surrounding communities — as well as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. If you or someone you know was hurt in an accident, the consultation is free and we don’t get paid unless you do.
