Food TPiB: Mug It Edition
Yesterday I talked about cooking with a waffle iron, today were using a mug and a microwave. My source of inspiration: Mug It by Pam McElroy from Zest Books. I can also do this kind of cooking, and it’s a great teen activity. If I can do it, a teen can. And The Teen, The […]
Video Games Weekly: Star Wars Battlefront
I hope everyone has survived their Fall Break! As I wrote in an earlier post, Star Wars Battlefront recently came out for the holiday season and as predicted, it’s pretty popular at my library. However, it isn’t doing as well in sales because it is competing with big ticketed games like Fallout 4 and Call […]
Food TPiB: Waffle It Edition
As I mentioned yesterday, right now my life is all about waffles! And in my waffle obsessed state, I finally figured out a way that I – the person who hates to cook – can host an Unconventional Cooking Club with teens. Today, I will share with you the Waffle It! Edition. It turns out, […]
MakerSpace: Rethinking Food in Programming, Again? Yes, Again.
Thing 2 loves waffles, which is why The Mr. had a moment of brilliance: let’s buy a waffle iron. It did not realize that this small purchase – we bought ours at the local thrift store for $3.00 because we are poor – would become the inspiration for what may become one of my most […]
TLT is Thankful for YOU: A Merit Press Giveaway

Book Review: Other Broken Things by Christa Desir

Still, with six months of court-ordered AA meetings required, her days of vodka-filled water bottles are over. Unfortunately her old friends want the party girl or nothing. […]
Sunday Reflections: Behold the Power of Books
“No, No, No,” I heard The Teen scream from the living room, so I went running to see what was happening. She was sitting in the chair that we all call “the reading chair” yelling at her book. I have done this. This I understand. Suddenly, she started crying. Not the silent tears streaming down […]
TAB Book Discussion: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp
I have a secret: I have never been able to succeffully host a teen book discussion group at any of the libraries I have worked at. At most I ever got 3 people to attend, so I eventually gave it up and moved on to more successful programming. But I was contacted by Sourcebooks and […]
MakerSpace: The Proposal Stage

Below I will share with you the most recent version of our project outline, which has gone through a […]
