This week marks five years of being apart of Kai, Amelia and Robin’s life, which is just absolutely wild to me! When I was younger, I always imagined my family in a very specific way – but life is normally not so cut and dry. It’s been a wild five years, filled with so many memories, so much growing up, and a lot of learning on everyone’s part.
While in Dundee, I went to The McManus – an art gallery and museum with a big focus on Dundee throughout history. There are a total of eight galleries within this museum, that explore both the history of Dundee and the art that has been created there. This museum was originally built as a memorial to Prince Albert, but over the years has been added to and changed.

[Ad- gifted product]Â Every other Monday we take the time to go to our local Geek Retreat and play a little card or board game as a family. Kai normally has DnD on this day, but we come a little early to get settled and get some milk shakes for everyone. This week, we played a very quick game called The Muddles. This card game is all about combining two different creatures to create a new, silly, wild creature that can be picked up from the table.
When I first landed in Edinburgh, on my first ever solo trip away, I saw a giant tower on a hill and wanted to go explore it. I only had around 24 hours in the city, and though it was a giant hill, I figured it would have been a good place to really see the city from above. There are plenty of places to stay in Edinburgh, but I was just around the corner from this specific landmark. This turned out to be Calton Hill, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was actually the first park in Edinburgh, according to the signs. There are actually a ton of free things to do in Edinburgh – including exploring Calton Hill, so I do wish I had a bit more time to explore.
This week, a lot of our meals were no stove and one pot, as the weather was very warm. We have also got into salads! There are so many types of salad at Costco, that actually are reasonably priced, so we have been trying them all out. It’s just better to have a non-cooked vegetable when it’s warming, especially as everyone’s hunger levels change.
