Greetings Bookworms! Guess how many books I read last week. No really, guess. ZERO! That’s right folks, it was a slow reading week. We had a couple of no-nap days AND the good sir turned 3. As a result, my reading was limited. I still read, of course, but I didn’t finish anything. Still plugging… Read more »

2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Twenty Eighth
Greetings Bookworms, Who wants some Sammy stories? Last week I made the decision to watch the new Hamilton movie after Sam went to bed, which meant that I was up entirely too late watching it. Totally worth it, but I was dragging the following day. As I was reheating leftovers for lunch, I was singing… Read more »
2020 Weekly Wrap-Up: The Twelfth (With Bonus Kid Lit)
Hey Bookworms, Life comes at you fast, huh? Two weeks ago coronavirus was scary, but not panic inducing. Today it’s changed just about everything. I used to LOVE reading fictional accounts of plagues and pandemics. Now? Not so much. Two weeks ago I started writing a listicle of some of the great plague books I’d… Read more »
Self Indulgent 10th Anniversary Post
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if one does not loudly proclaim one’s anniversary on the internet, the anniversary is not valid. Hey, Jim! We’ve been married a WHOLE DECADE. High five! (Remember that time I wrote you anniversary limericks? This post is almost as cool.) It is, apparently, a THING, in some corners… Read more »
TWO!
Dearest Sammers, Today marks your second trip ’round the sun. It’s super cliche to talk about how quickly children grow, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if wormholes were involved or something. This year went at friggin warp speed. And what a year it’s been! You have learned and grown SO MUCH. I’ll just… Read more »
One Halloween. Two Halloweens! Ah, ah, ah!
Greetings Bookworms, You may recall that last year I (very predictably) dressed my tiny 2 month old baby up as a penguin. This year I had every intention of dressing Sammy up as a dinosaur. I had a costume and everything. But then I saw this and I couldn’t not buy it. Especially given that… Read more »
Happy Birthday, Baby!
My Darling Bookworms, You’ll have to forgive me, I’m about to leak a bunch of feelings onto the internet. I scheduled this post to go live at 8:09 am central time on August 22, 2018 because at that very moment Sammy will have spent exactly 365 days breathing the air of planet Earth. (Sorry about… Read more »
On The Night You Were Born
::Waves Sheepishly:: Hi. Hi there. I have… Not been writing. But here I am. Writing. Because MY BABY IS TURNING ONE TOMORROW. A whole year. It occurred to me that I never wrote out his birth story. I kind of want to document it before it goes all sepia toned, you know? On the Night… Read more »
Hello Again!
Long Time No Talk, Bookworms! I suppose I should explain myself. So, back in June when I last posted, I was getting a bit frantic about getting everything wrapped up at work and preparing everything at home for the Tiny Bookworm’s arrival. I continued reading, but I lacked the time and mental head space to… Read more »
A Life Update
Greetings Bookworms! I know, I know. I wrote a total of ONE blog post the entire month of February. I’m not proud, but I’ve had a lot on my mind. See exhibit A: That’s right, y’all. I’m currently gestating a tiny human. But I feel like it would be disingenuous to be all “YAY I… Read more »
