meet ANGELA

FAMILy, friends and faith

Welcome to my corner of the world, where life’s complexities and joys unfold in the most unexpected ways. I’m Angela Granthem, your guide through Helping You Gather, sharing the challenge and beauty of being a wife, mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur. Once at the helm of a bustling household with seven beautiful children—six daughters and one son—my nest has gradually quieted down! But the laughter and fun continue with every visit, family dinner, party and gathering! We love each and every busy day, week and month of having a close knit tribe!

Amidst the busy schedules and quiet moments that mark our days, I feel that life is wonderfully unpredictable. It’s in the impromptu pizza party’s, the last-minute school projects, and yes, even those inevitable not-so-great days, that we find the real beauty of family life. These are the moments that test us, teach us, and ultimately bind us closer together. Through my blog, I aim to share these unfiltered experiences, connecting with you through stories of love, faith, and the ever-present quest to find balance amidst chaos.

But our journey doesn’t stop at family anecdotes. Alongside the personal stories, I’ve embarked on a new adventure that combines my passion for bringing people together with my entrepreneurial spirit. “Helping You Gather” is more than a party rental business; it’s a project born from the realization that every gathering, no matter how small or grand, is a chance to create lasting memories. With a curated collection of event essentials, we aim to make your celebrations not only beautiful but just a bit easier, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—the joy of togetherness.

Navigating the dual paths of managing a home and a business has been a lesson in grace and grit. It’s taught me the importance of flexibility, the power of a strong support system, and the beauty of living a life that’s perfectly imperfect. Whether it’s juggling a hectic schedule, dealing with unexpected setbacks, or celebrating the small victories, each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow.

Join me on this journey, where we embrace the messiness of life with open arms and a heart full of love. Through the highs and lows, the celebrations and challenges, let’s discover the beauty of togetherness. My blog is a space for sharing, learning, and growing together—a place where life’s lessons are woven into the fabric of our stories. Together, let’s navigate the wonderful flow of life, finding joy and purpose in every moment.
