I went parasailing with my daughter on her birthday! 😬 Turned out to be far less terrifying and far more relaxing than I thought it would be! 🪂⛵️

Can you believe the 2025 #PBParty contest window opens 24 hours from now?
The judges and I can't wait to see your amazing entries...and share our favorites with at least 63 agents, editors & ADs. Wahooooo!

If you're an unagented writer or author/illustrator of picture books, I hope you'll enter the 2025 #PBParty contest. It has helped make so many agent and editor matches in the past...and we can't wait to see the magical matches that will happen this year.

Tea Party in the Woods by Akiko Miyakoshi. (Obsessed with the pie illustrations.) Boardgame - Enchanted Cupcake Party- meant for littles, but oddly satisfying game play, assembling tiny cupcakes!

The image consists of two parts: a tweet from the official City of Santa Monica Twitter account and a corresponding evacuation map. Left Side (Tweet): • Header: The top of the tweet shows the profile picture and Twitter handle “@santamonicacity,” with a small circular icon of a wave on an orange background. • Text: “City of Santa Monica is issuing an Evacuation Order for all areas of the city north of San Vicente. Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is closed to public access.” Below the text is a link for updates: “santamonica.gov.” • Footer: Timestamp shows “7:38 PM, 1/7/25” with “290K Views” indicating the popularity of the tweet. Right Side (Evacuation Map): • Map Features: A street map highlighting a large portion of Santa Monica. • Evacuation Zones: • Red Zone (Evacuation Order): The northern section of the map is marked in red, indicating a mandatory evacuation zone labeled “Evacuation order.” • Yellow Zone (Evacuation Warning): An adjacent area south of the red zone is highlighted in yellow, labeled “Evacuation warning,” suggesting a lower-level advisory for residents to prepare for potential evacuation. • Key Landmarks: • San Vicente Boulevard marks the southern boundary of the red zone. • Roads such as Amalfi Drive and Montana Avenue are visible. • Points of interest include the Brentwood Country Club to the east and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) near Rogers Beach to the west. This map visually reinforces the evacuation directive, dividing affected areas into immediate and cautionary zones.
Please stay safe!

A playful book cover featuring the title "I'M BORED" in bold blue letters against a light blue background. An illustration of a young girl with pigtails, wearing a striped shirt, leans against the word "BORED" with a disinterested expression. The Junior Library Guild Selection gold seal is displayed in the lower-right corner, highlighting the book's recognition.

Journal turned to January 1, showing entries for 2024 and 2025.
Colorfully striped journal - One Line A Day- A five year memory book.
Whew! “One line a day”journal complete for 2024! It was my very first time trying to #journal every day- an experiment to improve my episodic memory. It was a complete success, so here we go 2025! Highly recommend the practice - here’s the book I use, purchased from The Strand.
