{Edinburgh} Princes Street Gardens Playground
We don't have may themed playgrounds here in Edinburgh (something I really miss from Berlin) but there is one that stands out to locals and visitors alike. The playground in Princes Street Gardens, at the foot of Edinburgh Castle, is
{Edinburgh} Fun for all ages at East Meadows Playpark
It's time to introduce you to our favourite Edinburgh playground of all time. Officially it's called the Magnet Playarea, but I've never heard anyone call it that. I've more commonly heard it referred to as East Meadow Playpark, or when
Planning for March
This year, I’m trying to be more organised in planning ahead for each month. In case it helps anyone else be more organised too, I’ll be sharing our monthly list of things to do, plan, remember and celebrate. And for
Audubon’s Birds of America
Last week, schools in Edinburgh were off for half term so I made some time to take the boys on a couple of outings. One such outing was to the National Museum of Scotland, which we visit frequently year round

{Edinburgh} Harrison Park West Playground
This morning we ticked off another playground in our 'how many different playgrounds can we visit this year' quest. It's situated in Harrison Park, next to the Union Canal, which offers nice opportunities for walks and duck spotting (though watch
Chapter Book of the Month: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
We've been on a bit of a chapter book review hiatus, but today we're back with a new Chapter Book of the Month! My 11 year old is studying World War II at school, so for his home reading I
{Edinburgh} Bruntsfield Links Playground
Today I've got another playground review for you. This is the playground we probably visit the most, as it's closest to our house. In fact, we were just there yesterday (though the photos are from previous visits when we had
