Train Trip Social Story
As the ADHD mom of an autistic child, I have made it my mission to make social stories that are neuro-affirming and focused on the viewpoint of the child that needs them, rather than how the child is impacting people around them. Currently, I'm working on transportation social stories. So far I've got airplane and ferry boat and now train! I'm gonna walk you through how I put this together, what it looks like on the inside, and how we use it.

How I Used the Apartment Binder in Buenos Aires
Hi, I'm Emily and I have ADHD. One of my most helpful coping mechanisms to combat my ADHD is keeping things organized. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I created a Home Binder back in 2020 when we moved into our house. I shared it on the internet and it went viral, you guys loved it! I had people constantly asking me to sell a version of it, so I created one and have a download for it on my site. Since then I also had people asking about apartment versions of it. When we lived in apartments, I had versions of this to keep myself organized, so I created the Apartment Binder. The problem was when I created it, I didn't then have a way to use it because I wasn't living in an apartment. Well, we have been living in an apartment in Argentina since June so I've been able to put the Apartment Binder to the test while we've been here. Since I now have first hand experience with it I figured I would walk you through how to set it up.

How to Spend a Week in Buenos Aires
After having family here for week I'm going to share with you the best way to spend a week in Buenos Aires if you want to take a trip here yourself.
Halloween in Argentina
Halloween is just not as big of a deal in Argentina as it is in the States. There isn't a whole lot of Halloween stuff out, and no one really goes trick or treating. We tried to make it as festive as we could by making some Halloween decorations for our apartment as a fun activity to do with the kids, but for the most part it was a pretty mellow time. Along with the Halloween decoration we made I found really cute Halloween plates, cups and napkins that I planned to use for a Halloween party that we decided to throw for our friends here in Buenos Aires. I got them with that intention, but my husband reminded me that the party venue had all the things that we needed for the party so I didn't end up using them for that but we used them through the month of October to keep the Halloween theme going for the kids.
A Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Tigre
Let's take a day trip from Buenos Aires to Tigre! You can drive to Tigre from Buenos Aires, but you can also take the Mitre, it's about a 45 minute train ride. We arrived at the Tigre station and then took a short 15 minute walk to Puerto de Frutas. The walk is along the river with a beautiful view of the town and some of the really great things that Tigre has to offer.
Things We Needed From the States
My parents are visiting us here in Argentina! They are our first visitors which is so exciting, but it's also great because they brought some much needed necessities that we can only get in the US. We have found that some things aren't consistently available here in Argentina and some things from home we just like better, so having them brought to us was amazing!
