Hi, everyone! Kat Odell here, dropping you a late-summer line from the Algarve in Portugal. I’m one of Pursuits’ freelance writers, typically covering what to eat, what to drink and where to travel. In fact, I am writing to you from the utterly stunning Vila Joya boutique hotel. (There’s a two-year waitlist to get in here!) You can find me (and more on this incredible property) on Instagram @kat_odell.

Speaking of late summer, I just received a welcome email from my nearly 3-year-old daughter’s Brooklyn preschool, giving me the rundown on what to expect from her first year.
