Day 1: Pool & Straw Market

I usually spend my first day in the Caribbean hanging out by the pool/beach of my hotel/rental. Make yourself a cocktail and lounge in the sunshine

In the afternoon, head over to the Straw Market to take in some of the local culture. It’s a great place to buy handwoven straw crafts. (Their baskets are amazing.) It is also a nice place to buy souvenirs.

Day 2: Sandy Toes

Take a 25-minute boat ride to the island. So, what is the best thing to do here? SWIM WITH PIGS! I was shocked at how clean the beach/water was with pigs walking around, but it was spotless. They were so adorable and we had fun petting them.

Top 10 Things To Do in Cascais, Portugal

Two years ago we had our last family vacation before the pandemic had us shelter in our homes. It was the most amazing trip to Portugal. We began our trip in one of my favorite towns…Cascais. Cascais, Portugal, is a pristine beach town located 30 minutes from Lisbon. The town’s main focus is…of course…its beaches. If you follow the crowd, most likely they will be headed towards the water. The locals are pleasant and want to share their town with you, so take some time to people watch, eat some local fish, and enjoy this stunning coastal town. So now…onto my favorite things to do in Cascais, Portugal.

Here are my 10 favorite things to do in Cascais:

Boca do Inferno

A beautiful 20-minute walk from the center of town are the cliffs of Boca do Inferno (Mouth of Hell). Stare in awe at the aggressive beauty of the ocean against these cliffs. On calmer days you will see men fishing from the rocks. It is fun to see them professionally avoiding the huge waves. There is a visitor’s platform and they say the best time to visit is at sunset. I think it would be amazing to watch it when the ocean is rough. There are a few café’s there, and it’s a great place to get a gelato.

February 2022 Product Roundup

Winter is in full swing here in NH and I’m having a Love-Hate relationship with my snow pants! However, it’s hard to hate winter when you look out at the snow-covered mountains and hear your family laughing as we play outside. Once again Mother Nature…you win. I’ve kept up my New Year’s Resolution of daily self-care, and I wanted to share some amazing products I’ve been using. First up are 4 fabulous essential oils companies. I’ve never been so happy to smell again! Then, I’ve got an amazing chocolate company that helped me make Valentine’s Day memories with my husband. And finally, a great company with skincare products! Enjoy the February 2022 Product Roundup!

Revive

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM

WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?

REVIVE Oasis Ultrasonic Diffuser, Mist Humidifier, And Ionizer

$40

This diffuser is so easy to use and I haven’t had any problems with water leaking out. The mist humidifier is wonderful, especially these winter days in NH. What I love most is the diffuser will only work if there is water in it so I don’t have to worry about it running while dry. The light feature is also nice for adding ambiance to the room. I have it placed on my desk so I use it every day.

Peppermint Glow Roll-On

$16

I wish you could smell this roll-on because it immediately makes you wake up with it’s burst of peppermint scent. I keep it in my car for that afternoon pick-me-up that I need while running errands with the kids. Also, if you apply it to the back of your neck it helps reduce tension.

Revive has wonderful single essential oils. We were sent:

Eucalyptus ($7) and Lavender ($9)

They recommend preparing a mixture using fractioned coconut oil and eucalyptus and apply it to the chest, back, nape, and soles of the feet to support lung health. This will be wonderful when our family feels sick or when allergies are bad.

Weekend in Las Vegas with Teens

Weekend In Vegas with Teens

Las Vegas is known as Sin City, but it is actually a fun place to bring teens. There is lots to do besides casinos and bars. With a little planning, Las Vegas can be a vacation for the entire family. Here is our itinerary for a weekend in Las Vegas with teens:

How long would I stay?

Honestly, I would say 2 days is long enough to explore Vegas with teens. We flew in and out of Vegas on our way to Sedona, Arizona and that was enough time.

Where do you fly in?

The best place to fly into is McCarran International Airport

Friday- Day 1

Fly in to Vegas. I actually love flying into Vegas because you get a beautiful aerial view of the desert and the Hoover Dam. Try to get a window seat.

Check in to your hotel. I recommend the Palazzo Towers at the Venetian Hotel. (Read our full review of the hotel here.) I recommend getting a Luxury Two Queen Suite. With a sunken living room, huge bathroom, and 2 comfortable queen beds, it is a great room.

For lunch, head down to the main pool to where you can eat outside. (The avocado toast is delicious.)

AVENGERS S.T.A.T.I.O.N.

Las Vegas, Nevada

During the pandemic, my oldest daughter introduced us to the world of Marvel. Every week we would have a family movie night and she played each movie (in chronological order no less) and we grew to love the Avengers! We were so excited to visit the AVENGERS S.T.A.T.I.O.N. when we were in Vegas. It did not disappoint. There was so much to see, but let me show you some of our favorite parts. Time to head inside.

Mission Brief:

To delve into the history and profiles of Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. Your goal: To interactively assemble case files on each of the characters and move on to become qualified members of the AVENGERS S.T.A.T.I.O.N. If you think you have what it takes. If you think you can be something more…

It is winter here in New Hampshire and by February I start to get a little sick of the cold. I have to admit, it sometimes takes a little urging to get me to throw on some snow pants and go outside, but I am always happy I did. We have so much fun during winter and make some great memories. It always helps to look back at our winter bucket list 2022 for inspiration. Take a peek at what we want to get done this winter.

Winter Bucket List 2022

Go snowshoeing in the fields across the street

Spa night (mani/pedi, facials, hot oil treatments)

Go ice fishing (and actually catch a fish)

Board game night

Go tubing at the mountain
