As a re-introduction to me and the blog if you’re new here, I’m just a girl who loves to read, who is raising two kids who also love to read.

New Year, New Books
Every New Year’s Day, my Lola (grandma) would hold a raffle.
Holiday Family Traditions
When I was little, my mom would get a few new Hallmark ornaments every year. Our ornaments were handmade school projects and a mish-mash of gathered ornaments from years past, and I loved our tree very much.
Doctor Bookworm turns THREE!
Doctor Bookworm (the blog) is 3 years old! We’re celebrating with a three book giveaway.

Milestones: Sharing An Interest
Did you know that sharing an interest in something is a milestone? Like, when your toddler finds something new and exciting and they bring you to that something or bring that something to you?
Bookworm Family Activities
Mr. Bookworm and I are still holding onto a lot of family-oriented activities. Like our Family movie nights on Fridays, originally inspired by one of my attendings when I was a resident.
In the Time of the Butterflies
Butterflies, Dr. Bookworm’s family, and the red threads of fate.
Lola's New Year (Book) Raffle
My Lola (my grandma on my mom’s side) and I were close. She had a special relationship with each of her grandchildren. Still, even after she’s been gone for 18 years, I can picture her smile (with bright red lipstick!) and hear her laughter and it makes me smile too.
TENTH Birthday Ten Book Giveaway
I thought back to my first year with Little Lion, my rainbow baby. Do I remember any of it?
Mostly no. I just remember sleepless nights and breastfeeding and holding her close. Plus the JOY JOY JOY that our rainbow baby brought into our lives. Always bittersweet.
Paris and the Happily Ever After
As I wrote the other day, my girls are loving Paris and so am I. We love the individual little boutiques and we're certainly loving all the independent book shops. We love the cobblestone roads, the delicious summer cherries, the little surprises in architecture that we find in every corner.
If I could read French, I would have bought books from every little cute bookstore we found in the Latin Quarter.
Making Summer Reading Fun!
Our plans to avoid the 'summer slide' are to do a little math each week and to do a little reading and writing each week. To be honest, it's only the math that Mr. Bookworm and I have to enforce. The reading and writing are automatic.
Come see my tips on making summer reading fun for your little one!
I Love You, I Know
This is a work in progress. I was inspired to write a picture book based on these famous Star Wars lines. But it ended up being an ode to my bookworm girls. So, in honor of Mother's Day, here it is. I love you, Mini Me and Little Lion. Seven and a half plump-tillion pieces.
