Pills Are Not for Preschoolers by Marilyn Wedge
| August 28, 2012 | Posted by Joanna under book review, parenting, review |
Did you take prescription medication as a child? Did you have any classmates who did? When I was young, I don’t really remember anyone my age taking medications. Of course, they may have at home, but I don’t remember any medications being passed out at school. In fact, it was unusual in high school when…
The Perfect Care Package for Your New College Student
| August 27, 2012 | Posted by Joanna under book review, review |
My kids are on the young side, and I like to think that I am too, so it may be wishful thinking, but I think that I’m more closely able to relate to the college student still instead of the parent of the college student. And it is on that reason that I like to…

One of the jobs to which I’ve never considered myself a worthy applicant is that of a book shop owner. Or even working in a book shop. You see, I don’t think I’d actually put in all that much quality working time, and I know that I would spend my entire paycheck on new books.…

Have you ever watched a show on television that had such a strong hook right before each commercial break and right before the end of each episode that you had to record it just so you could watch it all the way through with the least interruptions possible? Now that we have Netflix, it’s easier…
The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay

I grew up with a history buff. If my dad weren’t a computer geek, I’m pretty sure he’d be a history teacher. He’s not the kind of guy who goes around doing Civil War reenactments, but he is the kind of guy who takes his kids during the dead heat of summer and goes traipsing…
Imagination and Adventure Make White Raven Shine
| July 30, 2012 | Posted by Joanna under book review, review |
I’ve long been a fan of science fiction and fantasy, but it always intrigues me how these authors were able to dream up such vivid landscapes and worlds so different from our own. Deep down, I’ve always had a secret hope that it means one day I’ll be able to figure out the secret and…
