From one mother to another…
Raising three teenage girls is tough. Add in learning disabilities,
suicide & depression and it’s a miracle I’m not an alcoholic.

Emma’s Cookies
When you're surrounded by bakers, it's hard for a child to NOT want to bake. In my house, my daughter's all love to experiment with recipes and they're constantly asking if they can whip up a dessert or bake some special cookies. Right now, cookies are our favorite -...

Peanut Butter Cup Fudge
Love on first sight. It is real. It's super easy to make and tastes delicious! The only caveat I'd say is that the chocolate doesn't set like a regular fudge - it's a bit soft - softer than the peanut butter part - but I promise you, it won't matter!Especially when...
Day 12: All Things Must Come To An End
Wow. 12 days of an amazing trip! One I will always remember and it's all thanks to you - my readers! I haven't forgotten for one moment that none of this would have been possible if you all hadn't bought Finding Emma and fell in love with a little girl and her Papa....
Day 11: Last Day of Chocolate Journey almost Ruined
From the very beginning today was a day where I planned to spoil myself. I know, I know ... you're probably thinking I've been spoiled this whole trip - and that is true. From being upgraded to first class on my flight to London, to getting a princess room in Brugge...
Day 10: Who Wants Some Chocolate?
In all my searching all I heard about is how the shops in Brugge close on Sundays. Knowing this, I had a plan of attack. To find as many of the 50+ chocolate shops as I could the moment I arrived on Saturday until they shut down at 6pm and then soak my poor feet in...
Day 9: Brugge – Town of Chocolate!
The day I've been waiting for this whole trip - arriving in Brugge! Don't get me wrong - I've thoroughly enjoyed every single day that I've been away. Each day has had something magical about it - whether it was visiting a castle, taking part in the London Book Fair,...
Day 8: Last Day in Paris
I'm a little saddened to say goodbye to this city with so much character. Oh, who am I kidding. It's the pain au chocolat and fresh butter croissants I don't want to say goodbye to! Instead of doing more sight seeing and/or traveling outside the city to Versailles, it...
Let’s Talk Chocolate in France!
Today ... I'm in Paris (Day 8) and I thought it only appropriate to have author Patricia Sands here who has a new release - The Promise of Provence - which is set in France! I hope you enjoy 🙂 I'll eat a delightful bonbon today to celebrate this post 🙂 Hey Steena,...
Day 7: Paris (Shakespeare & Co)
Ahh...books! There's something about holding them in your hands, the way they smell, the rustle of their pages as you open the cover. One of my favorite places to lose myself in is a bookshop - whether it's old or new (although, I must prefer old). Just around the...
