Hippity-hop to the mall

Posted on April 23, 2011 by heatherlauraclarke

I’ve been so busy with work lately that I COMPLETELY FORGOT a crucial Easter detail — I can take Baby Boy to the mall to get his photo taken with the Easter Bunny!

I don’t know how I forgot all about this, but I did. So today, we’re off to the mall — yes, it’s the last day possible, eek — to capture this special moment on camera for a mere $5 donation.

There is a hilarious photo of me and Little Sis sitting on an Easter Bunny’s lap as kids. That bunny was possessed or something — it was terrifying — and it remains one of our favourite OMG childhood photos. It’s practically my motherly duty to get Baby Boy a similarly scary photo, right?

Wish us luck!

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.)
