Shop till You Drop and Raise Money for Breast Cancer!
Here at Bakes for Breast Cancer, one week out of the year, we raise money for breast cancer one sweet at a time with our event Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer which takes place each year during the week of Mother’s Day! This year Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer takes place May 6-12, 2013!
We realized that many of our followers on Facebook and Twitter do not live in Massachusetts to enjoy the many sweets at restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, ice cream and chocolate shops, and Food Trucks to name a few of the many places desserts are offered in our effort …
Welcome to Livorno
So how did I get to Livorno? It took many years and reuniting with friends from long ago on Facebook that started my journey. When a friend said come to Livorno in time I eventually said yes. What did I have to lose? I planned my trip six months before and used my frequent flyer miles for the journey. Have you ever noticed that planning and anticipating a trip is a very special part of the trip? The anticipation lasts longer than the trip. The trip quickly flies by!
I decided if I was going all this way to Italy, going …
The Trip of Curiosity!
Let’s call this a trip of pure curiosity because it is taking me to Italy an adventure of unknown possibility! Here I wait to board my American Airlines flight which I used my frequent flyer miles to get and then will take a British Airlines flight onto Pisa! It is then I will see friends I have not seen in more years than I would like to count!
How did this trip start, we’ll that is a long story! It is because of Facebook that it is taking place at all- a surprising place to reconnect with lost long friends! …

My Miami Adventure!
A beautiful wedding brought me to Miami, a wedding I could not miss!
I brought with me my computer; bought a Virgin Broadband to Go so I could continue working on Boston Bakes as if I was still in Boston. I worked every day I was there and took an hour or so to enjoy being outside by the pool just to get a little color. I found myself alone at the pool because nobody who lived in the complex I was staying uses it.
I thank my wonderful volunteers for keeping up our Facebook and Twitter when I took my first …
March 2 brings us 222 Participants for Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer! Another week in Boston Bakes!
It is only 8 am in the morning on March 2; I have not yet read the food sections in the Boston Globe and Boston Herald but have already checked my emails and have many to read, answer and write. I have a long list of calls to make and many things to follow through for many people who need something that I have. There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done but somehow it all happens. We try to get it all done!
