We have an exciting new addition to our family. Nope, it’s not a puppy — and NO, it’s definitely not a baby!

It’s a secondhand PowerWheels Cadillac Escalade (Barbie Edition), and D and C are over the moon with joy over this thing.

So, of course, every time they drive it around, I have a certain song in my head … and I had to make a video about it! …

We have all fallen head over heels for this hunk of plastic-and-a-battery. I’m dreaming about giving it a new paint job (it’s currently a faded pink with touches of purple), and Darling Husband is dreaming about modding it with real headlights and a better stereo system. We’re totally grown-ups, I think?

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 7-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

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 absolutely love.

Throw a pot that gets frigged up and turns into a wet, muddy, uneven mess? Put a rose handle on that shiz and it’ll be a lovely mug “with character.” 🌹 . . .

I couldn’t believe I went 10 SHADES WHITER in a single appointment, and I had absolutely no discomfort during or after — and that’s coming from someone with sensitive teeth! 😄 . . .

Only a handful of people knew what we were doing, and we were giddy with secrecy and independence. Wet met the pastor right before the ceremony, and our witness was a stranger named Missy who worked the drive-thru window at the chapel. . . . I was 24 years old, with shiny rings on my fingers and an even shinier future ahead of me. . . . We never imagined we’d get married alone, away from our families, but a series of events made it very clear that it was the best plan for us. It was the most grown-up decision we’d ever made, and we made it breathlessly. . . . We chose to get married without an audience because the heart of marriage is something you don’t share with anyone else. We sat in the front seat of a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, holding hands in front of two strangers, and promised to stick together when the going got tough.
