november-instagram-by-myseastory

with an improptu mid week break to miami, and my mum’s visit on island, november went by too fast, in a good way. the christmas festivities are right on, and this time around we’re feeling it more than ever (last time we spent christmas on island was in 2012), there are loads of kids activities, and although julia is not really aware, she sure enjoys being out and about.

happy thanksgiving!

happy-thanksgiving-from-turks-&-caicos

from our family to yours! this year i feel extra thankful, for our little munchkin ♡, and for our life in paradise, sometimes it’s good to stop and just think about how lucky we are.

although we don’t celebrate thanksgiving in portugal, i’m hoping we can make it a tradition in our new little family to celebrate every year. we’re lucky to have my mum here for a couple of weeks to visit, so she’s making a pumpkin pie, and we’re getting together with friends for a potluck friends-giving meal.

hope this day is filled with things that make you happy xxx
