julia at 18 months – my little island girl, enjoying our last days of city life before heading back to turks and caicos – playgrounds, slides, parks, ice cream, strolls, trains and trams galore ♡

julia at 18 months – we didn’t go to the beach much during our vacation in portugal (other than here and here) but we did spend a couple of morning at avencas, my mum’s favorite beach near lisbon. it’s super healthy due to the iodine vapor found in the air. so different from our beaches in turks and caicos, but julia loved playing in the puddles and we even spotted a starfish ♡

julia at 17 months – every time we stumble upon an electronic kiddie ride, usually at malls, we spoil julia and let her go on a ride. seriously, her smile makes it worth every penny. this one was in the azores last week, after a long lunch and in a much needed and deserved break ♡

grace bay beach walks
a few weeks ago, i challenged myself to go for 20 beach walks before traveling to portugal on vacation. since julia was born, finding the time to exercise has not been an easy task – to make sure i was staying active, taking one hour to go for a beach walk on grace bay beach, sounded like achievable and productive at the same time.
it was a fun challenge and to make it more interesting, i recorded my progress on instagram by taking a picture for every walk (see #gracebaybeachwalks on instagram).
it wasn’t that easy, most times i was only available to go for walks when the sun was too hot, and…i get easily bored of doing the same thing. but i felt active, it helped clear my mind and it was an hour i had to myself 3 times a week. i made it!! and would love to share a few of the pictures here –

julia at 17 months – having her first pastel de nata, at manteigaria in lisbon…she’s usually not a good eater, but seemed to enjoy this portuguese treat with quite an enthusiasm ♡
