First annual kidlitosphere drink night at the SCBWI Summer Conference

As you may have already heard via Greg Pincus at GottaBook, we're planning a get-together in LA this Friday night during the SCBWI Conference. It's even got a catchy name - the first annual kidlitosphere drink night at the SCBWI Summer Conference (FAKDN@SSC). Greg says that there are other groups meeting Friday night, but all we've heard of are meeting earlier. Come by anyways, as we'll be there for a while!

We're planning to meet on the patio outside the lobby bar area at 9PM. I'll be there along with a number of other KidLit Bloggers like Greg, the Disco Mermaids, Lisa Yee, Kelly Herold, and more. I'll be the one giving out JacketFlap hats (I'm bringing 200 of them, so first come first serve). I hope to see you there!

Charlotte is 1 month old!

Hi my JFF (aka, JacketFlap Friends),

I can hardly believe it has been a month since Charlotte, aka, Charlie was born. She is so YUMMY! Having a 7 & 10 - year gap between my daughters, I definitely forgot how amazing this stage felt with the baby smells and cooing. I also forgot about the sleep deprivation, but having my oldest daughter going into fourth grade puts a new perspective on the sleep deprivation. It is a blink of an eye until my little Charlie will be going into the fourth grade. So I will try to enjoy the 12 a.m., 2 a.m., and 4 a.m. feeding, and I definitely will STOP BLINKING!! I just wanted to send out one big THANK YOU to all of you for your sweet messages regarding the arrival of Charlie. I hope to meet many of you at the SCBWI conference in Los Angeles this August.

Best, Tracy
