Boston is a city that I can almost call my second home as I've visited more times than any other destination in the world. It's rich in history, arts and culture; there is no shortage of food and of course, shopping (ahem... there is no sales tax on clothing priced at under $175 and then there's … [Read more...]
Book Review: The Secret Language of Doctors
In my family, there have been times that we've rushed over to the hospital in some sort of emergency. We all know the routine. We get assessed by a triage nurse and then we wait. And we wait.

Mutant Mania: X-Men Comics Are A Can’t-Miss
I'm a bit of an X-Men fan, so you can bet I was out at the new movie a couple of weeks ago when it came out. That movie, Days of Future Past, is based on a comic series, and I'm told that I need to read Age of Apocalypse to figure out what the total outcome will be. Which means I'm headed to the … [Read more...]
That Yellow Border
When I was a kid, my parents had stacks and stacks of old National Geographics. I loved them.

My entire in-law family, for example, who have season tickets, go as a family event, and usually take my kids a couple of times a season. For families who love … [Read more...]
Scholastic Decoder: June 2014 Edition
The last month of school! And also the last flyer for this school year. I'd best get on with it then... Elf You Are My Sunshine - These sweetly illustrated, but not too saccharine, and I love books of songs for kids. The rhythm and rhyme are great for literacy, they help you remember the words, … [Read more...]
Investing in Barbados
I have a number of friends who travel to the same destination year after year or even multiple times in a year. They love the beach or the town or the people so much that they don't want to go anywhere else. And why should they? A vacation can look very different from person to person but most would … [Read more...]
What’s In My Bag? National Sun Awareness Edition
I love that my kids are active in team sports, and I've learned my role. I am there to watch them play. I do love to watch them play. That means that from September to April, I visit approximately 8-10 hockey arenas per week (for real... can you imagine??). My bag for these months is full of … [Read more...]
