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.

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 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.
