October is always a tough month for me. Not only is it my mom's birthday month but, it was also the month she died. In two weeks, it'll be six years since her death. How coincidental that National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also October. This year, I'm beyond proud to announce the 2nd annual breast cancer cause-marketing campaign my sister and I created called: BAKE IT HAPPEN™. The premise (like last year) is as simple as it is tasty and fun: Just head over to Bake it Happen and sign up to receive Judy's celebrated … [Read more...]
