LM About Us

Lancaster Mommy is a labor of three mothers who live in Lancaster and
appreciate the town for all that it has to offer. It was born out of frustration
by Becky for missing all of the sign-ups for sports, and Ashley for searching
around time and again for the best birthday party location. Sharing similar
frustrations, Heather joined us and together we vowed that no other parent
or grandparent should have trouble finding that information again!

Becky Schulz is the mother of four boys and the wife of a chef. She grew up
in the US and Guatemala and she and her husband lived in Minnesota,
Indiana, and New York before settling down in Ohio in 2007. Becky earned
her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Spanish in 1999 and spent
some years in ‘corporate America’, working for Northwest Airlines and in
the non-profit world, before taking some time off to take care of all of the
boys in her life. With no family in the area, Becky finds that she really relies
on her Mommy friends and is always eager to meet new ones.

Ashley Crook is the creative and driving force behind
LancasterMommy.com. She is responsible for the format and look of the
site and works hard to keep it updated and user-friendly. She is a fellow
mother-of-four, although she was graced with the only girl in the mix, and
when she is not working on LM she can usually be found carting her
children to the many activities they are involved in around town. Ashley is
also a transplant to Lancaster but has lived here since her marriage to Tom
(a silent but highly valuable member of the site). Her husband grew up in
town, which gives them the advantage of having family in the area and a
built-in knowledge of Lancaster and all of its charm.

Heather Overton grew up in Western New York along the shores of Lake
Erie. She graduated from Ohio University in 1998 earning her Master’s
Degree in Recreation and Sport Sciences and moved to Lancaster with her
family in 2007. Heather is our “outdoorsy one” and is a veritable fount of
information about all things outdoors. She has the unique position of being
married to the city’s Director of Parks and Recreation and therefore is
always in the know about events and activities around town. The mother of
three boys who keep her on her toes, Heather is an invaluable member of
our site.
