In other words, she's inspiring. And exactly what we needed on EiR to provide a gentle ear and a knowledgable mouth for new mothers.
Having had the privelidge of several "Tea Times with Danielle," I thought it was high time we brought our tea table
into the virtual world for some candid talks about babies and motherhood. So there's my two-cents...
Are you a New Mom with a Question?
Get To Know Danielle
Where I'm From...
I was born in Michigan and have spent most of my life living near "The Lake". Some people get attached to the mountains or the ocean, but for me it's
always been Lake Michigan! There's something about this large-yet-small body of water that suits me perfectly.
Who I Am...
As the second of eight children (I know, my Mom's amazing), I�ve had lots of experience with young children. Even so, I admit I had many questions
during my son's first year of life. I've used the EiR as a valuable resource over the past few years and am thrilled to be a part of the
writing team.
My husband Jason and I have a son 16 months old and a newborn baby girl born in October. As I'm sure you know, being a mom is an amazing experience.
I never quite understood how much my life would change and how my love would undescribably expand until after my son was born.
Jason works at a
local university and designs web pages for individuals, corporations, and charities. You can see his design site here.
Besides being a full-time
mom and wife, I give piano and voice lessons out of my home. Music is a passion I love to indulge in!
(Heather's edit here... Danielle truly does
have a magnificent voice! We may have to upload some lullabyes or something...) 
What I Love About Motherhood...
I love the look on my son�s face when I come to get him out of bed in the morning. I love rediscovering the world through his eyes. I love the
fact that I can talk out loud to myself in the store and people don�t think I�m crazy� as long as my son is in tow.
What is "Tea Time with Danielle" About?
I chose the theme of "tea", because I want to meet new mothers in an environment that's comfortable. I can think of few things as comfortable
as talking over a steaming cup of tea. (Although Heather would argue that it's a steaming latte!)
The idea of "tea time" is a cherished ideal we all
long for in those hectic and crazy first few weeks of motherhood.
So if you are a new mom, let me invite you to pull up a chair, grab a scone and let me pour you a cup of hot tea as we discuss the
various joys, sorrows, questions and concerns you may have about your new role: that of mother.
Always with much care,
