I’ve been a stay at home Mom for three years now, but when I worked in financial services, multitasking with a sense of urgency was the golden standard. There weren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish what needed to be done, and an ever-present school of wishes nibbled at [...]

Life returns to normal

by Heather Kephart January 24, 2010 Family
Oh yeah, we

Our new house came with a fairly extensive learning curve. It’s an odd U shape and sports more windows and light switches than the viewing room at Good Morning America.
I’m not a fan of ridiculously bright rooms. I like a subtle, glowing atmosphere. Hence, nearly every time I walk by the living room I flick [...]

Joe got his first real haircut!

Supercuts + Lollipop = Fun!
A couple of days ago Dennis and I took Joe to SuperCuts for his first real haircut. His Grandma used to trim his hair, but a trim was way overdue and it was time for his first real cut. Joe did great! I was prepared for all manner of drama, but [...]

I awoke at 4 AM this Christmas Eve and lay there in bed, squeezing my eyes shut, imagining myself in my Grandma’s back room, listening to the muffled voices of my early-rising family.

My brother wowed my mother and I today with a comment to her upon receiving our gift packages and placing the presents under his tree…
“…It’s so nice to finally have some presents under the tree. Christmas trees are like houses, they need presents under them just like houses need people to shelter.”

Goodyear Great Songs of Christmas

by Heather Kephart December 10, 2009 Domestic Goddessing
Christmas Frosty

Am I the only one who is nutty about the old Goodyear Tire & Rubber Great Songs of Christmas albums from the 1960’s? Volume 6, pictured below, is a favorite of mine from my childhood. I found it on eBay and snapped it up like a doughnut-shaped chocolate morsel. I like some of the new [...]
