MARY TELLIER

Mary, a former New Orleanian currently shivering in Wisconsin, is a wife and mom of five. She spends her days as a stay-at-home mom, a book editor and typesetter, a promotional products manager, and a cake baker—sometimes all at the same time. She also loves drinking iced coffee and pretending to enjoy running so she can listen to her favorite podcasts. This former English teacher is now a student of the masters of liturgical living and sends out a weekly resource for those who share her interest.
