Opening Day for Bookworms and Baseball Fans
It’s baseball’s opening day! We aren’t big sportsing people in the Bookworm home. My own sportsing dialogue would sound something like this: But baseball’s opening day has a specialness about it. It screams SPRING is here! And, since I’ve found…

Oceanography & Scuba Diving Books {Obsession, Meet Book Series}

Visual Feasts for the Kitchen Table, or Easel Worthy Titles

Cracking The Nutcracker: What We’re Reading Before We Watch
Confession: I’ve never been to a performance of The Nutcracker! Since Preschool Bookworm is such a fan of the orchestra, I thought we’d give The Nutcracker ballet a shot this year. We’ve been listening to Tchaikovsky’s music, and it’s become…
Fall Faves: A Short List Slightly Expanded
Now that I’ve been blogging over a year, it’s fun to look back on posts from one year ago and reminisce. Like Timehop, but bookish. We have been enjoying last year’s Fall Faves once again this year, and we’ve come…

New Baby Books that Don’t Borrow Trouble

Books About Strong Girls that I Read With My Sons

Eat These Up! Picture Books for Picky Eaters
As I write this, we are about six weeks into our family’s real food revolution. I’ve taken to heart the advice I’ve read over & over to quit as short order cook, and I’ve stopped buying the packaged snack foods…

Our Summer Bucket List, Booked Up
I just LOVE bucket lists! Actually, I love all sorts of lists. I imagine no one is shocked by this fact. (A librarian who loves lists?! How can this be?!) Bucket lists are a special breed. I make them at…
Librarian on the Road: Packing for Literacy with Littles
I don’t travel well. I suffer from a bad case of over packing. Doomsday Preppers meets Type A mom of two. When Preschool Bookworm was a baby, he cried hysterically on every single car trip, short or long, for the…
