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. PLEASE go read it, comment, and heck, if you like music (even if you’re not a mom), SUBSCRIBE to MSM. I’ll be posting over there more often (more on that soon), and it’s a really eclectic blog that’s fun to read. What have you got to lose? Anyway, check out my…

And now this. I finally met…

I’m still counting my blessings; I try to do that daily (some days are harder than others, but I think that’s pretty normal!) In my reflections recently about this birthday, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the people who surround me. I’ve been asked several times this week, “Are you…

Starting Today, I’m Packin’ a Mallet and a Gong.
First of all, let me say that I do realize that I’m totally dating myself (and many of you, thank goodness) in this post. But hang on, even you younguns, because the end is worth it. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of tv. (Okay, to be fair, not much has changed.) In my house, we loved “The Gong Show”, hosted by Chuck Barris. If you don’t remember it, you’re a baby! it was a quasi-game show on which people of questionable talent (Including the Popsicle Twins, who you can check out here in this NSFW clip) performed an act and tried to be good enough so…
