My latest rainbow cake creation is one of my favorites, ever. I made it for a special girl, the daughter of a good friend of mine who is becoming a Bat Mitzvah today. Mazel Tov, Allie!

Let’s Take A Field Trip (or Two), Shall We?
I’ve got two posts for you to read today, for the price of one. I know, that price is free. But that only means that you’re getting A LOT for nothing. The catch? You can’t read them here. Let me explain. I’ve got an amazingly clever (if I do say so myself) post over at Music Savvy Mom today.

Another November In The Can!
Yay! I did it. Don’t worry; I’m not taking a break from blogging now that NaBloPoMoFo is over for 2009. (The thought of any of my readers actually being worried that I would be vacationing from blogging cracks me up a little bit, admittedly!) Hot and fresh post coming right up tomorrow morning! Today? Day off. Have a good one!
