You know you’re a mom when …

Posted on July 23, 2012 by heatherlauraclarke

… You have favourite characters in your toddler’s favourite TV shows (I’m looking at you, Oona, Bert, and Scott) …

… aaaaand you maybe get ~~a little bit~~ RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED when you Tweet one of your favourite characters, and they reply (and then re-Tweet you the next day) …

In case you’re living under a rock don’t have a toddler at home, Shayna Rose played Marina on The Fresh Beat Band. She is not on the show anymore apparently, but in Canada we must just get older episodes, because she’s always on here.

And we love her.

Little D goes crazy when this show comes on (which is often), and immediately digs through his toybox until he finds his toy drum, and starts banging on it.

And now “Marina” has Tweeted me. Wow.

OMG this is going to make me famous at playgroup now, right? Right???

P.S. Are you following Laptops to Lullabies on Twitter? I promise nothing but the best Tweets about potty-training and crying babies and all of the other super-interesting things happening in my life.

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.
