Ahoy, Bookworms! Today be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and if there’s one thing I know about little scallywags, it’s that they love a good pirate story. Y’all, my Pirate is rusty as heck. Which is surprising since every one of Sam’s baths lately has involved a pirate ship. (Also a police boat that’s entirely… Read more »
Season’s Greetings, Bookworms! We spent Thanksgiving at home, just the three of us. I mean, it’s not the holiday we’d have liked to have, but on the upside, we were able to put up our Christmas decorations in a leisurely fashion. Plus we had a bunch of leftovers. I bought more Redi-Whip than anyone could… Read more »
Hiya Bookworms! Y’all know by now that I’m an avid penguin enthusiast, and that I shamelessly roped my child into the obsession (check out his first Halloween and nursery if you require proof.) Sammy has a MASSIVE book collection, and a large swath of that is dedicated to our flightless feathered friends. I know what… Read more »
Hiya Bookworms! This is probably the least surprising thing about me, but I LOVE reading stories to little kids.

Howdy Bookworms! It’s another glorious Tuesday and the folks from The Broke and the Bookish have asked the blogosphere to list some of their favorite childhood books.

Howdy Bookworms! I am very excited today because I officially get to check an item off my Bookish Bucket List! That’s right, kiddos, I helped put on a Bookish Baby Shower for one of the members of my book club and it was so much fun! “C” is our resident pregnant lady, expecting a little… Read more »
G’day Bookworms! It’s Monday, which is not fun. However, I had a fabulous weekend, and that helps make up for it. I went back to the homestead in the Chicago burbs. There I spent some QT with the fam, met up with some pals from high school who also happen to read my blog (Jackie… Read more »
Hello there, Bookworms! I hope you’re all well rested after “falling back” this weekend. For those of you who don’t live in areas where Daylight Savings Time is observed, I hope you got extra sleep anyway. Sleep is wonderful. This week I’m going to focus on The Giver by Lois Lowry. Why does one book… Read more »
One of my all time favorite childhood books is Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. Harriet is a precocious 11 year old girl who aspires to be a spy. She wanders around New York City (yeah thinking about that NOW is a little scary, but suspend your disbelief for a moment.) She observes her neighbors… Read more »
