  TYLER, TX, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Whether it's running after the kids, managing the household budget,
de-cluttering the home, keeping in shape, trying to take control of their
personal and work lives or all of the above, America's overwhelmed moms
can take comfort in the first-ever reality makeover TV series on public
television, "Hannah Help Me!" sponsored in part by American Standard
Heating & Air Conditioning. On the show which debuts in June, Keeley --
known as America's supermom -- will provide stressed-out moms with
strategies for coping with life's daily challenges.

    Keeley is a mother of seven, author, television personality, lifestyle
expert and founder of HannahKeeley.com, a complete resource for creating
happy, healthy families. Her newest book, "Hannah Keeley's Total Mom
Makeover: A Six-Week Program to Completely Transform Your Home, Health,
Family, and Life" (Little, Brown & Co, April, 2007.), is a life-changing
tool to help moms get the most out of life. Now, with the help of American
Standard Heating & Air Conditioning, she will be hosting her own public
television series, "Hannah, Help Me!" in which she gives a two-day life
skills makeover to one desperate mom in each episode. The series consists
of thirteen episodes.

    "For years, both American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning and Hannah
Keeley have helped moms find ways to breathe easier in their homes by
bringing a bit of comfort into their lives. We're delighted to sponsor the
show and help bring her inspiring ideas to an even broader audience," said
Brian Scallan, brand director, American Standard Heating & Air
Conditioning.

    Bringing Comfort to Moms and Their Families

    To be considered for a reality makeover, Keeley invited moms who felt they
were at the end of their rope to submit their stories on HannahKeeley.com.
She was immediately inundated with cries for help. For example, one mother
of two described trying to keep it together through a breast cancer scare,
pregnancy, teaching at night, financial issues and just getting the kids
off to school every morning.

    Another mom was struggling to cope with her husband's unemployment and a
cluttered home. In total, six moms received the opportunity to gain a
"breath of fresh air" through Keeley's strategies for dealing with their
challenges. At the end of the season, Keeley took all of the moms who went
through her two-day makeover to the Beaches resort in Turks and Caicos for
some recreation and a heart-stopping challenge that will be revealed in
the final episode.

    Although Hannah insists that there is no such thing as balance in an
average mom's life, she manages to ride the fence pretty well, balancing a
busy career and a big family of her own. But as she suggests, "Motherhood
can be overwhelming these days. I want to help moms let go of some of the
fluff, so they can focus on what really matters." And she is definitely
not your average lifestyle expert, confessing, "I've kicked my fair share
of toys under the sofa. Life's not about being perfect. It's about making
every moment count."

    Home comfort tips for moms

    In addition to providing lifestyle advice on her new TV show, Keeley
offers practical, everyday tips for making homes cleaner, healthier and
more comfortable through her ongoing columns on americanstandardair.com.
Her advice covers a variety of topics of interest to families, from
cleaning and de-cluttering the home, to saving on utility bills, to
keeping the indoor air free of pollutants that can aggravate kids'
allergies.

    The "Hannah, Help Me!" program will be shown on public television stations
nationwide; please check out local listings for dates and times. For more
