I know first hand how important community support is. The love of your family and community is what carries you through the devistation of Pediatric Cancer.

I&#39;m so touched and inspired by your bake sale and the beautiful lessons you&#39;re teaching through it. My daughters and I will be holding our own bake sale soon to benefit our tiny new niece who&#39;s had a long struggle in her short life. I&#39;m also very interested to hear more about how you make your summer school work- I&#39;m always up for inspired ideas. I&#39;ll be checking your blog often!MEvanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09126359685875685626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513800951014543506.post-36533019574441644102009-06-13T00:30:54.923-07:002009-06-13T00:30:54.923-07:00Beautiful, beautiful post...oh how I wish I lived there close to attend the sale.

You are such a great example and it sounds like so much fun for your girls. I just discovered your blog and I&#39;m in love with it. Something about picturing your food with a face and witty remarks makes it so much more fun. I made your Lady X cakes last night and my husband and I LOVED them!
