I can’t get my son to eat Mac and cheese much less of getting him to try broccoli. Most three year olds absolutely love Mac and cheese but not this one!

Salute a Vet

Veteran's day this year is Thursday, November 11th. It's a holiday that slips by with little notice. What brings it to mind for me is that fact that school is out for the day, backup childcare anyone! We should all remember to show our appreciation for the "veterans of foreign wars". These fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and citizens went oversees and fought the good fight to maintain the freedom we enjoy and to liberate the oppressed in foreign lands. If you run into a vet…See More

THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT YOU WILL EVER MAKE

How many times have you heard the financial pundits chant”Your house is the biggest investment you will ever make”.I plead to differ with the statement. Your biggest investment would likely be your children. Those cute little ones cost an arm and a leg to raise and launch out in life! The Department of Agriculture puts the figure to be over $200,000 to get junior through high school. This is a no-frills estimate with no allowance for private schools, enrichment programs, fancy vacations and…See More

Why Slimy Bookworm?

Thanks for asking.
I love books! To be factual, I love the printed word, books, magazines, comics, textbooks, yes even textbooks. I devour them all.
Over the years my interests have evolved and the subject matter of what I read has changed. What has stayed the same is the fact that you will find me with a book of my latest fad or interest.
Slimy Bookworm is my humble effort to connect with people of like minds who have a passion for the printed word and a sense of duty to cultivate the love for books in the kids in their lives-their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, Godchildren, foster children and students. People who will motivate the kids in their lives to take a break from watching the television and playing video games and teach them to take time to savor the relaxation and mental stimulation of reading a good book.
Keep trucking Bookworms!
