Chester mom Hannah Keeley’s show on local PBS affiliate

Hannah Keeley, a Chester wife and mother of seven, kicks off a new facet to her burgeoning mom-pire this weekend -- a TV show.

"Hannah Help Me!" has been picked up by PBS stations nationwide. Beginning tomorrow, it will air Saturdays at 7 a.m. on Richmond affiliate WCVE.

The reality show features Keeley helping America's overwhelmed mothers manage their households, declutter their homes, get in shape and try to take control of their personal lives and careers.

Keeley invited stressed-out mothers to submit their stories on HannahKeeley.com. One mother of two described trying to keep it together through a breast-cancer scare, pregnancy, teaching at night, financial issues and just getting children off to school every morning. Another was struggling to cope with her husband's unemployment and a cluttered home.

Keeley, a homeschooling parent, author, lifestyle expert and founder of HannahKeeley.com, gives a two-day life skills makeover to one desperate mom in each of the series' 13 episodes.

At the end of the season, Keeley took all of the moms to Beaches resort in Turks and Caicos for a vacation and a heart-stopping challenge to be revealed in the final episode. -- Julie Young
