A Day at Temaiken
Come with us for a day at Temaiken. This is a zoo and ecological park about 40 minutes outside of Buenos Aires. We went on a weekday when it was cold and kind of misting out and there was almost no one there, it was incredible!
Celebrating Día de las Infancias in Argentina

How to Add Edge Banding to Your Project
We're going to take a quick pivot from our Argentina content to talk about a previous project. Remember the wall of closets in my mom's house for my grandparents that have now passed away? The one thing I did not do was add edge banding to the drawers and the shelves. So, I figured I would go over why you want to add edge banding to a project and how to do it.
A Weekend in Colonia del Sacramento
Come with us for a weekend in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay! Our original plan was to be on the 12:30 PM Buquebus ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia, but immigration decided that we needed a document that we didn't actually need. So we had to push our ferry back to the 6:45 PM. Since it turned out that we didn't actually need those documents, it was incredibly frustrating that we lost half a day. However, once we were able to get on the ferry the day really turned around.
✨Different✨ Accommodations for our Autistic Daughter While in Argentina
My seven year old daughter is autistic and in June of 2024, we moved to Argentina for six months. While here we have tailored some of the accommodations that we do for her and are doing some things differently to adjust to our life here in Buenos Aires.
Going Shopping Social Story
Since coming to Buenos Aires, I have had to take the kids shopping on my own a lot more. This is a new experience for us because, in Tennessee, my daughter goes to school and my son naps at home where my husband works, or I can take my son to my parents house or I have the luxury of ordering groceries. In Argentina, though, it's really hard for us to get stuff delivered to us for a large variety of reasons and I don't have the added support, but I still have to get things done so I've had to take the kids out more. We're been going to the grocery store, clothes and toy shops, bakeries, and anywhere else that we need to. Sometimes it's just to give us something to do, but either way they're just in stores more. I noticed that it was really hard for my daughter, and despite thinking that I had sufficiently prepared my seven year old autistic daughter to go shopping, she was still having a difficult time. So I wrote a social story especially for her about going shopping.
