Meet Sarah, our Mom of the Month for March 2025!

Tell us about your family!

My husband Rob and I have been married for 8 years this March. We have 2 energetic kids - Charlie is 6 and Millie is 2. We have lived in River Forest for almost 6 years. We moved across the street from our first house about a year ago! We just loved our neighborhood and couldn't leave.

Current/previous career?

I am currently a SHM and have been since Charlie was born. Before I made the choice to be a SHM, I worked in Human Resources in the restaurant industry. I worked in Recruiting, Benefits, Payroll and Employee Relations. Both fields are challenging and so rewarding in their own ways!

What is your favorite part of motherhood?

My favorite part of motherhood is watching my kids grow, learn and experience pure joy eachday. It is hard, but the belly laughs, hugs and snuggles make it so great!

Favorite local spot?

CAVA is quickly becoming a favorite place to grab a quick healthy lunch and we spend a lot of time at the RF library during the winter

How did you find Fit4Mom?

I found FIt4Mom when Charlie was 6 months and I had just moved here. I was running with him in the stroller and saw a group of Moms with strollers working out at Keystone Park. I stopped and asked what the program was and Charlie and I were at a class the next week!

What's the best part of Fit4Mom?

The best part of Fit4Mom are the community of moms and friendships that are formed.

Favorite class/exercise?

My favorite exercise are squat jumps! Challenging and rewarding!

What is something that would surprise us?

Something that would surprise you is that my husband and I met on a blind date! We had a mutual friend who set us up. He lived in Indiana at the time we met and I pursuaded him to move to Chicago- the rest is history :)
