This week has seemed to speed by for some reason. I can't believe it's Saturday, but I'm glad it is. This has been a difficult week in many ways because my children have been succumbing one by one to some kind of respiratory flu. The last few days I've been serenaded by a chorus of …

This week I've just done light reading. I've been reading through a children's series called "The 39 Clues". Basically several people loosely related (as in distance cousins) are racing around the planet searching for clues that will enable them to become a world leader. The main characters are the poor cousins - orphans Amy and …

Disclosure: Affiliate link When my husband and I recently took a short getaway we went book shopping - surprise, surprise. Anyway, I found about five books on the clearance table that were also 50% off the clearance price. I was like a kid in a candy shop. This week I'm only going to talk about …

So I know it's been a week since I posted anything. I've been busy sewing this week. I've made three skirts - one for each of my daughters - as well as doing organizing and purging. I will try to get back on track with posts next week. I've also been doing some reading. Right …

It really is amazing how this young girl raised to be a gentlewoman from a wealthy family in England became the first white woman to settle on the Miramichi River. The story …

Disclaimer: There are affiliate links in this post. This week has gone by so quickly. After a long cold winter and spring we're really enjoying the warm summer weather. It's so nice to be able to send the children outside to play. I've even spent sometime sitting out in our backyard reading. Right now I'm …

Disclaimer: There are affiliate links in this post. So after reading too many sad dystopian stories I read a couple of romance/thriller novels this week by one of my favourite authors - Dee Henderson. Her books are real page-turners, for sure. I enjoy the romances but even more I enjoy the suspense. I like reading …

The library finally had Insurgient for me to read. This is volume two of the "Divergent" series. I have to say that it's not as good as Divergent and neither of them are as good as "The Hunger Games" series. It just felt like Tris spent most of the book full of angst and doing …
