I just scheduled an email for tomorrow sending a query and my #kidlit chapter book manuscript (based on my best kids’ TV pilot) to an editor at Penguin Young Readers as my submission for the Emerging Voices and Visions program. Wish me luck!🍀

First baking experiment of the year: apple cinnamon rolls!

Last sunset of the 2025. Happy New Year everyone 🌅🎉

Late night Christmas baking.

A last glimpse of autumn on Winter Solstice.

I just finished the first draft of the children’s chapter book I’ve been writing for the last year or so. Yay!!📖👩‍💻🎉🍾 Now I guess it’s time to put on my editor-hat and get to work on a second draft, lol.

Perfect music cue to end a very frustrating morning. Just as I pulled into my street, the radio started playing I Can’t Get No Satisfaction 😂

Newest baking experiment: chocolate chip ginger snaps!

Made a cake that can beat the heat of a summer birthday. Pound cake and fresh strawberries with gelatin-stabilized whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle.

My Father’s Day baking project: cherry pie with a lattice crust.

Blueberry muffin-baking kind of day.

Took a long drive and a short hike to a high peak.

Baked a pie for Mother’s Day with blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries in a pate sucree crust with decorator’s sugar sprinkled on top!

Baking an unusual cookie recipe made of just cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and egg whites (plus chocolate chips, of course). Kind of like a cross between meringues and brownie crusts!

Just noticed that the latest episode of Nickelodeon's Barnyard Daycare includes three segments that I wrote! (the one about a submarine adventure, one about skateboarding, and the one about playing dress-up). It’s always so fun seeing the produced version of your scripts! youtu.be/PvTZn7mRDEE?...

Got some really nice sights on my Earth Day walk today.
