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 – last weekend, on our way to lisbon, we made a quick stop in miami. it’s amazing how living in turks and caicos makes our toddlers REALLY appreciate a kids playground when we travel…♡
hey provo friends! i’m joining forces with my friend yvonne and we’re having a yard sale at her place at the regent village, here in provo. we have lots of stuff to sell – kids toys and books, great clothes (different sizes), jewelry and more!
julia at 16 months – it’s getting harder and harder taking pictures of her, she’s either running away, jumping around, making a bad face or with stained clothes… ♡
