Book Review: The Good Woman by Jane Porter

Leave a comment

From the moment I received The Good Woman from Pearson Publishing and read the back cover, I was intrigued. The quintessential oldest child of a large Irish Catholic family, Meg Brennan is responsible, respectable and dependable. Very much the “good woman” she is hard-working, dedicated to her family, and a faithful wife. Taxiing her kids to and from activities, cooking meals and working a full time job, Meg always does what is expected. What more could a forty-ish woman with a successful husband, talented children, and a fulfilling career in the wine industry want out of life? Intimacy and excitement … Continue reading →

I absolutely LOVE reading childrens’ books! Getting lost in the story and illustrations of a good childrens’ book, if even for a few minutes, is something that I truly enjoy. Of course, snuggling up with my children and reading a book with them is even better. This is something that we should all try to do once a day with our kids. Reading books to our children, when they are young (and even not so young) is so important to helping to establish an interest in books, literacy skills as well as a good, strong bond with with our children. … Continue reading →

Talking about suicide can be scary, even for adults. But regardless of how uncomfortable it can be to talk about such a serious topic, it’s important that parents open up the conversation at home. “A lot of parents think, ‘my kid is fine, there’s nothing to worry about’,” says Cheryl-Lynn Roberts, professional counsellor, Kids Help Phone. “Because no one is making the first step, kids may end up talking to their friends instead, either about their own suffering, or about the concerns they have about a friend.” Young people who are being confided in this way also need support. “Imagine … Continue reading →

A little while ago, we reviewed The Naked Tank. I gave The Naked Tank to someone dear to me who has just had a baby and within one week of wearing it, she asked me where she could get more! This new Mom has had a bit of a rough start to parenthood and really was in need of some clothing items that were super comfortable. The Naked Tank fit the bill! Every day that I saw her, she would comment on how soft and cozy the material was. She also mentioned that while she needed to let herself “air … Continue reading →
