My name is Jen and I’m excited to be back on the board! I am a reading specialist in East Aurora School District. I have two daughters. My girls are 8 & 10 and I love being leader for both of their Girl Scout Troops. My favorite event in Moms and More is book club. I love listening to books on Audible during my commute to and from school. I also enjoy playing Bunco. My other hobbies include crafting and shopping on Amazon.
Treasurer- Heather Daley
Heather joined Moms & More in 2015. Prior to her current stint as treasurer, Heather served as secretary, care coordinator, and three terms as a member of the Childrens’ Resale Committee. She lives in Aurora with her husband of nine years and her sons, Kyle (6) and Evan (infant). She recently became a stay-at-home mom after eight years in the banking industry. In her free time, she enjoys reading and planning learning activities for her son and his friends.
Mariel joined the group in October 2016 at the Fall Open House. I only knew one person in the group but that night she was busy, and I didn’t even get to talk to her at the Open house. I sat at a big table with women that I didn’t even know. It felt awkward, but I thought to myself, “What do I have to lose if I give it a try?” So I introduced myself, and I felt comfortable and made connections right away! It felt natural to be part of a group of moms that shared the same interests as me! I really enjoy the Moms only events- Book club and Bunco nights are my favorites. If I would have known that there was a group like this 8 years ago, I wouldn’t have hesitated to join! As a first time mom with twins, and no family and friends around, I felt so lonely and isolated. But I am so thankful now that I’ve joined and stayed in the group. I have made so many friends and met a lot of amazing women in this group.
Erin has lived in Montgomery with her husband, Edward, for 5 years. She has a daughter, Maddie and a son, Collin, age 5. She also has 2 furry babies Sadie and Loki. She joined Moms & More in the fall of 2017, in an attempt to discover friends for her son. She loves to attend Recipe Club, family events and Resale! She has been involved in resale for about 4 years now as a seller and wanted more involvement with the friendly faces she grow to know. On a daily bases Erin is working at Long Beach Elementary and in her free time enjoys using her Cricut and hanging out with family and friends.
Vicki and her husband, Chris, live in Aurora with their son, Calvin. Vicki juggles being a mom with her full-time job in communications for a regional hospital system and freelancing for specialty niche publications. When she’s not negotiating with her son to go to bed, Vicki enjoys practicing yoga and meditation, cooking, and reading. She also volunteers at events in her neighborhood and serves on the board of the AAUW Aurora Area Chapter. As a Moms & More member, Vicki enjoys book club and family activities.
My name is Jenna Bean, and I’m your new Community Outreach Coordinator. I wanted to introduce myself by telling you all a little bit about me. I just turned 25, and I’m married with a 9-month-old girl named Zoey. I also have two cats named Simon and Dakota. I’m from Moline, IL, and I’ve been living in Montgomery for almost two years now. Some of my hobbies include reading, sewing, shopping, and watching sports. I am somewhat new to this group, and I’m hoping to meet other moms, especially those with children around my daughter’s age. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
Stephanie lives in Aurora with her husband, two daughters (7 and 4) and the best dog in the world. She joined Moms & More in 2017 when her oldest went off to kindergarten and she wanted activities and a playgroup for her youngest, as well as the chance to meet some new mom friends after relocating to Illinois from Ohio. Stephanie can often be found at the center of a game of tag or Simon Says with a swarm of children, as she is a kid at heart herself! When she's not busy with family obligations or Moms & More activities, Stephanie works part-time as a Career Counselor for Northern Illinois University, as well freelance coaching work with CareerArc, helping displaced workers find new employment.

In her otherwise limited free time, Kim can be found staring at her coffeemaker questioning how many cups she's already consumed, unintentionally memorizing Disney Jr theme songs, and pinning thousands of ideas on Pinterest that she most likely will never attempt.
I joined M&M last Fall after attending the Open House. My husband John and I just celebrated our 7 yr wedding anniversary. We met on match.com. We have 2 daughters, Nora just turned 4, and Lyla who is almost 4 months. I get to work part time from home for an insurance/benefits company, and I also teach group fitness classes. I'm looking forward to serving you ladies as the Socials Co-Chair, and most of all seeing you in person again someday soon!
