Miss the “midnight party fun” so many celebrated as each new Harry Potter was released? Stop by a local bookstore on Friday, August 1st, and you will find a celebration in full swing for the release of Breaking Dawn, Book 4 of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. Set in Seattle, these books follow the […]
Music evokes emotions and memories. It reflects our mood and can change how we’re feeling. It can also change how we behave. Every group of young people will have a form of music that represents them and often this stays with them for the rest of their lives. Even when tastes change, play again the […]
Navanethem Pillay has recently made the news, again, after being appointed the United Nation’s new High Commissioner for Human Rights. Prior to this challenging, and worthwhile, appointment, Ms Pillay was already making strides in human rights and garnering attention (sometimes unwanted) for her causes. She is an exceptionally courageous, determined and up-standing woman and someone […]

My husband and I are hosting a Japanese exchange student for three weeks this summer. It’s our first time, our trial run before considering hosting a student for an entire school year. Our student is a teenage girl from Tokyo. As a childless couple, we’d spent a fair amount of time before […]
So the other evening I was scratching around my less-than-impressive DVD collection when I spotted Bridget Jones’ Diary. I hadn’t watched it in ages and so decided to slip it into the player, before launching myself under my duvet (it’s winter where I live) - settling in for a chick flick night. And what a […]
We have just spent a week at Selsey Bill, which is on a peninsular on the South coast of England. The house we rented sat at the water’s edge (literally) and the spray from the sea made the windows misty white with deposited salt. In the water directly ahead of us was a post to […]
If you asked her, Patti Patton-Bader would tell you she’s an ordinary mother who loves her sons. She’d be telling the truth, but she’d be downplaying her achievements a lot.
WHy?
Because Patti Patton-Bader channeled all that love into the founding of Soldiers’ Angels, a non-partisan, non-profit organization that gives support to military personnel serving in harm’s […]
I’m not big into jewelery. Most days all I wear is my wedding and engagement rings. That’s it. When I go out, I tend to wear rather subdued clothes - all very much “nature colours” and chocolate brown is a staple for me. I do however, love snazzing-up an outfit with a really lovely, bright […]

At 25 she was crowned Queen of England. Her reign brought the likes of Shakespeare and the explorer, Sir Francis Drake. She spoke six languages. She defeated the Spanish Armada. She forsook marriage to her true love in order to be free to rule her country as she sought fit. For 45 years she ruled […]
Let’s take a moment and join our French friends in observing their national holiday, which we refer to as Bastille Day in English, but is known as the Fête Nationale or (more commonly) quatorze juillet to the natives.
Bastille Day dates back to 1790 and the Fête de la Fédération, which commemorated the storming of the […]
The illustrious author of Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller, Sarah Miller, has created a new and exciting reading challenge called The Disney Literature Challenge . The basic idea is to take the Disney movies, such as Mary Poppins or The Little Mermaid, and read the original stories they were based on to see […]
Last week, one of our columnists, A.B. Monk, wrote about Office Drama and the impacts of dealing with the dreaded office bully. I was hoping our sage readers would come up with some advice for her for two reasons: one - it’s common and rampant and hard to get a handle on and two, I […]
I recently read an advance copy of Dream Girl, the new YA novel from Lauren Mechling, who is the co-author of the 10th Grade Social Climber novels. It’s about Claire Voyante, high school student, daughter of leftover hippie intellectual parents, and seer of visions, though the latter seems to be linked to a special cameo […]
I first came across Diane Abbott through watching Andrew Neil’s, “This Week” show on late night BBC television. Diane Abbott, labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington appears with Michael Portillo, former conservative MP. Alongside Andrew Neil, they put the world to rights, tackling serious issues, often with a dry humour, as they recognise […]
