Happy wife to Steve and mom to our sweet little boys, Lucas (4), Tyler (2), and a third boy on the way! We live in central Illinois where my husband works for their family business and I am a mostly-stay-at-home mom, with a few hours tutoring here and there. I'm also involved in the Behold Conference as the Director of Marketing, and I am on the leadership team of a Catholic women's group called First Saturday. In my spare time you'll find me curled up with a book, baking, gardening, or just plain catching up on sleep!
I also posted an intro here.
About This Blog
After several years of reading blogs and dabbling in blogging myself - mostly stories about my kids, and a fair amount of rambling on about my own opinions - I felt a strong call to make a more serious effort and start a new blog that would be focused not on me but on my vocation as a wife and mother. This blog is meant to bring you encouragement and joy, and to bring me a little free therapy in the form of writing. ;)
"Help Them to Heaven" is a title that came to me one night when I was pondering the duties of my vocation. I realized that my primary purpose as a wife and mother is not simply to provide my family with good meals and a clean house. It is not even to make sure they felt loved and cared for. The primary role of a Catholic wife and mother is to help her husband and children on their journey to heaven.
The other duties are certainly a part of your vocation, and if ignored will make things pretty difficult - so we won't ignore them here either. We will talk about laundry and discipline, share recipes and book recommendations, and offer advice on a variety of issues related to marriage and motherhood. But most of all we will support one another as we "Help Them to Heaven."

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this little peek into my life!
