You know you’re a mom when …

… 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 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.)
