Laura Coppinger is someone who loves to laugh, loves to cook, and apparently, loves to have huge piles of laundry in her upstairs hallway, as is evident by the perpetually huge piles of laundry in her upstairs hallway. She can be found occasionally with a Nerf gun in her hand, as she figures that in a life with an handsome husband and four active sons, if she can’t beat ‘em, she may as well join ‘em. Writing her blog, HeavenlyHomemakers.com has become a delightful ministry, hobby and full time job, which she is blessed to participate in from home. She loves hospitality and generally figures – the more the merrier – as long as her guests don’t mind looking at the flour in her hair, and you guessed it, the huge piles of laundry in her upstairs hallway.
