I am not what you think of when you think of a yogi. I cuss too much, drink too much and sometimes eat cheese balls. I’m not “zen.” I’m a high-energy-over-achieving-perfectionist-fire-sign-pitta person. So those things are naturally kind of in opposition. Though I’m still flexible and able to do all the poses pretty perfectly, my…

3 Camps Left! Look at All the Fun We’re Having!
Just look at all the fun we had at the first Hunting & Gathering Summer Camp! And I may be biased, but these are some of the cutest kids around too! Our first camp in May was centered around understanding the world is a bigger place than little ol’ Lancaster (this is a theme…
It’s Strawberry Season!
3 Steps to Strawberry Smiles Strawberries, the ruby jewels that mark the beginning of summer, are best in my book, savored simply. (That and I don’t like elaborate baking endeavors, so easy is key for sweet eats at #TheHeanyHouse.) Here’s how we had them this week for breakfast on the patio. Don’t judge, yes, we…
Sometimes you’re eating fancy fiddleheads & sometimes it’s Ramen
Life is full of ups and downs. One day you’re at the beach dining out on garlic scape gnocchi with fiddlehead ferns, ramps, pickled mustard seeds and ricotta (adoration for Off the Hook in Bethany Beach and a memorable meal I know is going to inspire something on the menu at #TheHeanyHouseKitchen). The next…
Spring Soup
I love Saturdays spent wandering Lancaster’s Central Market getting inspired by what’s in season for a menu. This weekend I was drawn to stalks of purple crowned asparagus and sturdy spring onions that starred in a quick spring soup for Sunday supper at The Heany House. You’ll love the surprise finish. This soup can easily…
Changing Course: How the Sweet Paul Makerie Creative Retreat shaped me
My name is Keely; I am a lefty. And I can’t cut. There, I said it. The first step is admitting it. (Actually my co-workers know it; I once botched some event signage with my bad Exacto knife skills and I never do the cutting styling shoots.) I literally cannot use scissors because they’re just…
Beer Braised Sausage & Stoemp
You had me at beer braised sausage, but what the stoemp? Stoemp [pronounced stomp] is basically a Belgian dish equivalent to mashed potatoes with other vegetables mixed in. And that’s why I love it for my family — they get their mashed potatoes and I sneak in other vegetables — win win! Easy enough…
Trending: Citrus Beers
Citrus beers are all the rage right now – with at least one on tap at many craft beer bars. Perfect for spring time, after drinking the dark and heavys all winter, citrus infused IPAs are appealing to both hop heads and fruity beer fans (aka men and women, generally speaking). They’re like cracking open…

The New Trend for Working Moms to Find Balance
And why we need to stop using the phrase work life balance By Keely Childers Heany There’s a new trend for moms to find balance with work and it’s pretty simple. Because there’s no such thing as balance. When you give one more, the other gets less. So we’re switching priorities. We’re cutting back…
You-Can-Cook-Fancy French Bouillabaisse
Looking for something to impress your love? This dish melts my husband’s heart (we’ll not talk about what the butter does to his heart) because it’s simply delish and full of fish and seafood. I like it because it doesn’t break the bank but feels like a fancy French meal that you’d pay $25 or…
Leek & Mushroom Frittata
Two healthy meals for your busy week in 10 easy steps. (Or more, depending on your family size and appetites!) Anyone who follows me on social media knows, weekends are when I make my “clean-out-the-fridge frittatas.” A frittata is simply an Italian egg dish that translates roughly to the word “fried.” But don’t be fooled,…
