The best apps for kids and parents (at least, in my opinion)

My fingers are aching from a full day’s typey-typing at this Professional Writer Girl job, so I’m just stopping in quickly to share a piece that was published today.
I’ve written about my favourite kids’ apps and tech gadgets before, so I was keen on tackling this article on parenting app-ily ever after (*chortles at own cleverness*) for the awesome new Family Matters magazine.
Read the full story on the Family Matters website

Really, any day that I can publicly rave about my undying love for Rachel Coleman and her signing skillz is a good day.

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.

Two snazzy kids dressed up for their (four!) Christmas concerts at school this week. . . . #sewingforkids #handmadeclothing #handmadechristmas #shwindesigns #ecmmedia Christmas decorations in my house make me twitchy (can’t we be festive without so much CLUTTER?!) but I’m loving the SIMPLE red and white pompom garlands I made for the living room — and the faker no-sew pillow. 👏 . . . If only the rest of the main level could be so clean and simple. 🎄 Full details over on zee blog, if you want to make either! 💋 . . . #diychristmas #diychristmasdecor #handmadechristmas #ecmmedia #linkinbio Today on the blog, I’m talking about #Santa 🎅🏻 and believing and all of the hard stuff that comes along with that ... 🎄 🎄 🎄 #parenting #christmas #santa #believeinsanta #momlife It would be cool to curl up in my comfy chair and just HOOK but instead I’m sitting in my different-but-also-comfy office desk and WRITING because hookin’ doesn’t pay the bills 🤪 (Well, um ... I guess some hooking does!) . . . #rughooking #beginnerhooker #fibreart #flowers It’s been a few years since we painted our dining room hutches, and we still love the brightness they bring to our main level. . . . (Full story over on the blog if you search “hutch.”) . . . Also these “twins” didn’t even realize I’d dressed them in shirts sewn from the same fabric! 😂 . . . #paintedfurniture #diyhomedecor #farmhousestyle #ecmmedia My eyes were burning last night from too many consecutive hours glued to my computer monitors, researching and writing. So I took a super hot bath (a little too hot actually) and this sign above the corner caught my eye when I stepped out. I can (and do) tell myself these things OVER AND OVER, but it’s incredibly hard to practice what I preach. . . . #handpaintedsign #diydecor #takeabreak #begentlewithyourself #ecmmedia
