6 WEEKS, 3 DAYS PREGNANT

Things eaten on this icky nauseous day:
  • Homemade smoothie
  • Peanut butter sandwich (for breakfast)
  • Rice Krispie square
  • Mac-and-cheese (couldn’t stomach it)
  • Baby carrots (couldn’t stomach them)
  • Another rice Krispie square
  • Smoothie from the food court
Anybody noticing a pattern?

Back in May, I introduced myself to smoothies after reading that they can really help when you’re suffering from morning sickness.

Darling Husband whipped up my first smoothie of the day, and the second one — which is replacing the lunch I could not eat — was from a smoothie bar in the mall.

I stared at the menu for a good five minutes, feeling grossed out by the mentions of banana and milk, until I finally broken down and told the girl I wanted something “light and fruity and strawberry-orange-ish … but with no banana.”

She whipped me up something that wasn’t on the menu — does that make me a minor celebrity? — that she said contains strawberries, oranges, yogurt and honey. Mmmmmmm.

God bless the smoothie girl.
God bless the books for saying smoothies help morning sickness.
But mainly, God bless the smoothie girl. Again.
I’m sure I will be seeing her tomorrow.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
