Five paradoxes about being nine months pregnant

  • You have time to shop, but no shopping budget (since maternity leave benefits don’t kick in for freaking ages)
  • You have time to cook, but no stamina/patience to stand in a hot kitchen all day
  • You have time to do a proper deep clean, but your husband prohibits you from pulling out the stove and the refrigerator to clean behind them
  • Walking can induce labour, but your aching back prevents you from walking far
  • People tell you how small your belly looks — but back when you were 28 weeks, you apparently looked ready to pop???

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-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 writing novels, 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.

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 as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
