The Joy of Reading Together: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

March 11, 2012 by amreen

One of the experiences I treasured most about having young kids was reading together at bedtime.  Sparkling tots fresh out of the tub, nestled together under blankets to listen to countless stories of superheroes, fairies, princesses and many more.  In those days, often read the same books … [Read more...]

Book Review: Room by Emma Donoghue

February 23, 2012 by amreen

I saw this book around for a while before I picked it up.  From what I'd heard, it seemed almost too much to bear - a child forced to live in one room for his whole life, unable to go outside or have any contact with the world.  Finally, after hearing such rave reviews, I decided to give … [Read more...]

Great Book: The Paris Wife

February 10, 2012 by amreen

I had been waiting for so long for a book to sweep me off my feet. Carry me away so that all I could think about was turning the next page and reading, reading, reading...with that wild abandon.  You know, the kind where your kids haven't been fed, and the beds haven't been made but you're … [Read more...]

Farewell to an Old Friend

January 29, 2012 by amreen

It's a part of our house.  Sitting there, in all it's majesty, holding court in the Room of Babies. Give and take a few months here and there, it has been the night-time home to our babies for almost 9 years.    So many mornings of my life have entailed going into that room and … [Read more...]

Beads and More Beads

January 27, 2012 by amreen

The most irritating thing I heard yesterday was the mantra of "I'm bored" from my 7-year old girl.  My TV ban for the day sent Them into a downward spiral of despair that was seriously alarming.  I took out some crafty stuff and we got busy.  Beads were the weapons of choice against … [Read more...]
