Hi There, The weather here in Manitoba can really get sharp changes  and could reach -40 here in the provinces. I'm planning to buy a wood burning stove for my vacation house near the mountain side. The one I have is an old traditional one but sometimes a challenge to light up. Has anyone tried wood burning stoves and does it really uses huge amount of electricity? I've seen some reviews like (thewiredshopper.com/best-wood-stoves-to-buy) and looks like the Pleasant Hearth is a good choice. Any advise?

Hello,

Requesting for your feedback. I am a homeschool, single and work-from-home mom and my daughter is requesting for an E-Reader, since she loves reading.  According to this link, https://thewiredshopper.com/e-readers-vs-tablets/?fbclid=IwAR2gAE2cU3h5ecaA6IjXQnLY9Q5ix0mOOJZ355FBBHCPO5SBniJ_pi5E9sk, you can also read ebooks through a tablet, which I wasn't aware, but according here it appears like it's a norm that people read through tablets.

I like the idea and I like to get her a tablet instead since she can use it to for her homeschooling. Currently she's using my laptop. I just work after she's finished with it.  So it's like double whammy, she gets a laptop alternative and E-reader in one buy. What I like best is it's cheaper than a laptop too.

But my main concerns are, wouldn't tablets strain my daughter's eyes? At the same time, I was thinking, she might also get distracted that instead of reading her usual adventure stories, she now goes to social media? I know you can limit or guard the websites your children are looking at? Does that work for tablets too?

I'm sorry for having too many questions, but your thoughts are appreciated

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Mitch
