What’s in a name?

When I make homemade baby food, I’ve never been content to just label the bags with the name of the fruit or vegetable. I like to make my own names for my concoctions. It’s pretty much the best part.

Here’s a peek at some the baggies in my freezer right now:

  • Apple-Banana Blast (apples and bananas)
  • Blueberry Bliss (blueberries and apples)
  • Sufferin’ Succotash (lima beans, peas and corn)
  • Prairie Harvest (parsnips and turnip)
  • Enchanted Forest (blackberries and apples)
  • California Mix (brocolli, cauliflower and baby carrots)

Because of my creative liberties, it’s not unusual for us to have conversations like this:
ME: What did you give Baby Boy for lunch?
DARLING HUSBAND: Some “forest” stuff and two cubes of “farm harvest” or something. You and your names!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have an 8-year-old son and a 6-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 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.
