Five songs I find weirdly inspirational
As a writer, I’m obviously a lyric person. I’m always Googling lyrics to new songs I hear, and often the words are the entire reason I like a song — no matter how it sounds. (On the other side of things, Darling Husband likes…
That time I DIY-ed on TV!
Back in June, I spent a couple of days filming in Halifax. I didn’t say much about it at the time because I was waiting until it was on the air, and now it is — eeeek! I was a guest on an episode…
How to replace sleeves
I actually did this project back in the spring and forgot to turn it into a post! So I had a Silver jean jacket that I loved, BUT … there was a bit of buyer’s remorse happening. I’d bought a medium because it was…
My first blood donation
When you’re a parent, you’re always coming up with little teachable moments in which you show your children ways they can be good human beings. It’s why we have discussions about homelessness when we pass the shelter in our town. It’s why I make…
Work-at-home summer prep
Consider this a PSA to all parents of elementary-aged children: We’re down to less than a month before the end of the school year. Summers have always been hard for me as a self-employed person who works from home. September through June, I have…

Knock knock me over
I’m done with this week. Or really, I should say “this week is done with me.” It won. It beat me. I give up. Someone I love passed away, far too young, and we say good-bye to her on Tuesday. It was only the…
Experiments in beginner pottery
It’s been a while since I shared what I’ve been making in my weekly pottery class — something special I do for myself now that our youngest is in Primary, yayyyy! I shared the first batch of finished pieces back in October, about a…
I am not an interior designer
I spent the weekend working on projects for my very first “home design” client. It’s something that’s been in the works for a couple of months now, and it’s been sort of thrilling, actually. We have plans to work on a bunch of rooms…
Heather’s Handmade … Car?!
Just in case you ever wondered if I have ALWAYS been attacking everything in sight with paint, fabric, and glue … yes. Yes, I have. Today I’m going to take you on a tour of my very first car, Trixie. A turquoise 1992 Dodge…
When your antidepressants backfire
The decision to start taking antidepressants is huge (it shouldn’t be, but that’s a rant for another day) so it’s kind of funny that the decision to CHANGE your meds routine is sometimes even more monumental. Like, didn’t you already take the big step?…
