Our big baby, our aging backs and a lot of walking: what worked for us in a travel carrier, and what I liked less.
A balcony retreat, genius shutters and four days of electricity drama. What we learned renting our first Lisbon apartment, with updated contract pointers.
How we kept our US phone numbers after moving to Portugal, without an ongoing US mobile plan. The setup worked for us, but “free” needs context.
My first 50 domain-name ideas were taken or lame. Why I landed on Savor & Scribble, and what I hope to do here.
