    We thought we knew what to expect.

The history, what it means for Portugal, and how it still shapes the country right now is something we were not prepared for. Everly talked over most of the clothes line moment, the time change from North America barely touched us, but going home to Canada is going to be a different story, and 10 days in a van across one of the cleanest countries we have ever seen starts now.We're Frankie and Alex.

  • #189 "We Asked Our Toddler If We Should Move To Europe" β€” Day 19 of 365

    We asked a toddler a serious question. She didn't hesitate.No Kids Hungry πŸ‘‰ GoFundMe β€” https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAWe stopped at the largest fast-food restaurant in Portugal today and what Europe is doing with affordability compared to North America genuinely surprised us. But the highlight of the day was getting to see Brittany and Drew β€” Mr. and Mrs. Adventure β€” living out exactly what they told us they were going to do back in 2020. We met them that year and they were already talking about moving to Portugal. Seeing them actually here, living it, doing it, reminded us why we started this whole thing in the first place. Getting to visit them in a van felt like coming full circle. Then we asked Everly if we should move to Europe and away from Canada. She said yes. We also have some exciting news about where you can find this content going forward and a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to the charity.

  • #188 The Parts Of Parenting Nobody Talks About β€” Day 18 of 365

    Nobody warns you about the parts that are hardest to say out loud.No Kids Hungry πŸ‘‰ GoFundMe β€” https://gofund.me/6e55e79c4Start on Day 1 if you are new here: https://youtu.be/_ydNTMUxuOAWe spent Easter in Portugal this year and it looked nothing like what we grew up with. A museum we didn't expect to love, a beach we had never been to, and traditions we carried with us from home that somehow felt even more meaningful on the other side of the world. We also get honest today about what parenting actually feels like. The struggles nobody posts about. The upside that makes every hard day worth it. And the Easter memories from our own childhoods that shaped the kind of parents we are trying to be.We're Frankie and Alex.

Alex has some thoughts about how much I contribute around the house, and she is not holding back. We also tell stories about giving to random strangers and why those moments matter more than people realise. Then I talk about something I haven't said on camera yet.

Then at lunch two strangers did something for Everly that stopped us completely. Portugal keeps showing us something about people that we don't want to forget.
