Harry Potter’s Birthplace, Superbowl Scotland Style, and the flu
Feb. 4, 2013—Hello friends! So this week in Edinburgh was amazing! Every week is getting better and better here.

Half the Sky
Feb. 2, 2013—Thursday night I attended a talk by Nicholas Kristof, coauthor of the book, Half the Sky. I had to go to the event for AXO, but I was actually really excited because I read the book this past summer and loved it. It also just so happens that Half the Sky was the Commons Reading this year.

Today, I tell you a lovely tale of three bloggers coming together to craft some delicious delicacies. The backstory: Ann and I were tasked with making Sweet Sundays for the BCM...
Burns Night, Fiestas, Pedi Cabs, and more
Jan. 27, 2013—Hello again! This past week was filled with a myriad of activities! Wednesday: The food in Edinburgh is actually amazing (specifically indian, chinese, and italian) but the Mexican food is horrible (so they say).
