If you're:

  • In love with being a parent, but not so crazy about the housework;
  • Exhausted by the sleepless nights, and yearning for a break;
  • Concerned about the next generation;
  • Worried about what your grandchildren are learning in school;
  • Overwhelmed by all the things your kids are picking up on TV

Then maybe you need a reality check!

Reality Check is a collection of over 75 of my favourite columns that I write for the Belleville Intelligencer and the Penticton Herald, dealing with everything from school buses to flatulence to gay marriage. Here's what I cover:

  • Romance when Married
  • Parenting Traps
  • Parenting Foibles
  • Grief and Worry
  • Laughter and Joy
  • Christmas reflections
  • School Musings
  • And more!

Read some reviews of Reality Check!

My friend Sheila Gregoire has this uncanny wisdom…there are things that Sheila says that will roll around in my mind and heart for days! And I think it’s that wisdom, couched in her down to earth humour that makes me want to listen to it. Sheila doesn’t put herself on a pedestal, but comes alongside and says, hey, have you ever thought of it this way? I’m glad she’s my friend…what a treasure we have in Quinte with this lady!

The insights that Sheila gives me into her life and feelings expands my
own perspective on everyday decisions I must make.
Ernie Parsons, MPP, Prince Edward Hastings.

Sheila gives a much needed voice to the traditional values and common sense principles so often lacking in today's society. She places our attention on what should matter most in our lives, our families.
