Congrats to Danielle, our November Mom of the Month!
If you know her, you know she always has something to say, isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and knows exactly how to make everyone laugh! As a mom of three, she brings plenty of life experience, a little sass, and never-ending opinions to just about any conversation. She's the kind of person who keeps things real, makes our village more fun, and reminds us not to take life too seriously.
We feel so lucky to have her as part of our FIT4MOM DuPage County family. Help us celebrate our November Mom of the Month!
Danielle, we’re so lucky to have you as part of Our Village!
Get to know Danielle
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Tell us who is in your family: Husband of 7 years Ron, Connie (11), Livia (5), Francesca (2)
Current/Previous Career: Dentist
What was your childhood ambition? Dentist- ha when I put my mind to something there’s no standing in my way!
What does motherhood mean to you? Motherhood is the hardest yet most rewarding challenge I have ever faced. Boy do my kids give me a run for my money but I am their biggest supporter and advocate and I love watching my little humans experience life and hopefully grow into wonderful people.
What is the farthest you have been away from home? Italy for our honeymoon. We traveled to the Amalfo coast, Rome and Venice
How did you find FIT4MOM DuPage County? Internet search. After having my five year old, I needed to find a workout that I could do with her on my days off.
How has FIT4MOM DuPage County changed your life? FIT4MOM gives me the ability to feel like a human while still being a mom. These women know more current things about me than my chosen friends. There’s no need to plan a get together or a phone call without a screaming kid in the background. You show up with your kids in tow and get a great workout in and have an adult conversation with another mom while still being there for your child.
Favorite exercise: Anything involving a squat- a nod to my volleyball days
Proudest Moment: My children may not be great listeners but I am so proud that they are kind humans who care deeply for the people around them.
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us!: This was the hardest question because I feel like I am an open book and over sharer. Per my husband, I come off much bougier than I am. He thinks it’s surprising that I only have two designer purses.
