Hola Reader! This week has been busy but in a great way! It's been so nice catching up with family and friends that now I only see once or twice a year.

Hola Reader! This week has honestly been a bit rough. My website is going through it and at first I wasn't even sure that I wanted to share that. But I also think it's important to share the bad along with the good of this creator/blogger journey. Hoping to have my site back up before the weekend, but for now it's down for maintenance. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! Bebino and my Meet Cute anniversary this past week was exactly what we needed! We visited this island about 2 hours north of Lisbon on a day trip that has crystal clear water which you need to take a ferry to get to. I've shared all the details on how to get here on my latest blog post. Make sure to add it to your future Portugal trip! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you. I appreciate your support...
