I completely fell head-over-heels for Cascais. Cascais wasn’t originally on my itinerary. But I found myself with an extra day in Lisbon and decided it would be a good idea to take a day trip to Cascais. Unfortunately, so did about a thousand other people and I had to wait an hour in the train station for an hour just to buy a ticket. Learn from my mistakes and get started early in the morning! Barring the obnoxious wait time, I loved everything about my trip to Cascais. It used to be a sleepy little fishing village, but it’s now a major beach town in Portugal. Not only are the beaches picturesque, the houses are colored in pretty pastels and flowers drip all over the facades. I strolled through the streets without even a hint of an itinerary or a map, just letting myself get lost among the alleyways. At one point I bought an ice cream and enjoyed it by the glimmering Atlantic. It was such a perfect day. It’s only a 40 minute train ride away from Lisbon, so if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend this as a day trip!

I think this house is lovely, don't you? The proportions are perfect. I love that it still looks big and grand but it's actually a small house in disguise. via So far, so good today. The banding effect of the storm has been an on again/off again rain. The worst is supposed to be at my cottage tomorrow morning around 7:30. Sometimes I think being ultra prepared keeps things at bay. Be safe and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.
Loft beds make brilliant use of limited space, they are fun for kids, and can be themed up and utilized in so many different ways. See our loft bed plans.

Last weekend in many European, Asian and North American countries we could spot aurora borealis dancing above our heads. Luckily, I was leading a photography workshop in my favorite place – Pieniny mountains in Poland and Slovakia.
This is one of the very first rooms I tackled when we moved into our new home. It’s the main bathroom for guests and our family as it’s the only bathroom on the main level outside of our primary bathroom. I love powder rooms because they are small and can pack a big punch in […]
