21 weeks, 5 days pregnant

I am considering sending my “What to Expect” daily e-mail updates straight to the spam folder. Today’s “helpful” hints on healthy eating made me want to slap someone.

Some fat is necessary, but too much just makes you, well, fat.

Eat your bread unbuttered
Skip the gravy
Run when something fried comes your way

Yeah? Really? And while I’m at it, Oh Wise and Powerful Newsletter Editor, I think I will empty my salt shaker into my eyes.

‘Cause that’s all totally going to happen.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 10-year-old son and an 8-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 it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

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