Hi Reader,

You’re booking the flights.
You’re checking the weather.
You’re figuring out how close the hotel is to snacks, coffee, and emergency nappies.

The planning load usually falls on one person (and let’s be honest — it’s often mum).

So if you're feeling that weight — you’re not doing it wrong. It’s just a lot.

And if you're someone who likes planning but just wants it all to go smoothly — that's exactly who I made Edinburgh Made Easy for.

It doesn't replace your trip ideas — it makes them easier to fit together:

  • Where to go
  • When to go
  • How to move from one stop to the next without stress

If you want to see what’s inside, I laid it all out here:

Discovering Edinburgh: Edinburgh Made Easy

Either way, I’m always here to help.
