Book Review: Confessions of a forty-something f##k up

October 25, 2020 by heatherss 1 Comment

This book has come at a good time for me. Although our circumstances are different, I did relate to the heroine of this book - because she is also starting again and also has no clue what she is doing at times. Just changing plans due to life circumstances. Nell has broken up with her fiance in … [Read more...]

Book Review: The Year of Magical Thinking: Joan Didion

January 8, 2019 by heatherss 2 Comments

I knew I must read this book. Both Trisha and Belinda  recommended  it and now I understand why. Joan Didion lost her husband suddenly to a heart attack. She tracks the impact of grief through a year after this event and I find many things I am going through to be similar to her experiences. It's … [Read more...]

June 10, 2017 by heatherss 2 Comments

A while ago I attended the book launch of quadriplegic Tracy Todd. I was drawn to her story particularly because of what my father has been through, but also because I have heard that she is a very inspirational speaker. (For those of you that do not know the story about my dad, read about the … [Read more...]

Nicky’s Rocket Ship

February 29, 2016 by heatherss 4 Comments

Yesterday afternoon Nicky was quite adamant. He wanted a rocket ship so that he could go to the moon. Nicky has two books about the moon. One is "On the Moon". I really like this book because it is factual. It tells you it takes four whole days to get to the moon. The other is "Edward Built a … [Read more...]

Playing Pooh Sticks

December 10, 2015 by heatherss 2 Comments

Last time we went to the library we took out two Winnie the Pooh books and both of them featured one of the bear's favourite games, playing pooh sticks. To quote the book: "Poohsticks is an easy game to play. After all, it was invented by Pooh, who isn't a very complicated bear. Pooh and … [Read more...]

Little pig, little pig, let me come in…

November 21, 2015 by heatherss 4 Comments

Nicky was playing with some cars near my bookshelf and he found some of my old childhood books.  One of those was "The Three Little Pigs" and he has been somewhat obsessed with this book the past few days. We have read it.. oh.. maybe about five or six times? I have lost count. He really gets a … [Read more...]

Kid’s Book Club Giveaway

September 28, 2015 by heatherss 13 Comments

Reading books with your child is not only good for their education, it's a good way to connect with them and calm them down. Case in point: Nicky was throwing a tantrum the other night. It was bath time and I was tearing him away from his iPad. He had a huge meltdown. No amount of cars in the … [Read more...]
