Mom and son, Americans living in San Lorenzo Paraguay. Sam is a sweet nonverbal autistic boy. Mom edits videos for YouTubers & online course creators. Our days are simple. Our life is full.
Had dinner in #Asuncion at this incredible #buffet last night. 20 amazing entree items, a decent salad section and every 10 minutes or so they would bring meat just finished to be freshly cut tableside.

2 adults, 3 sodas, Sam ate for free...
325k PYG or $41 usd

Blown away. Sizzlers on steroids.

Another scorcher in Paraguay today. Thankfully Asuncion has some epic malls! #paraguay #heatwave #beattgeheat

My son has #autism and while he is sweet to me, it's very hard for him to connect with others. After many outings, today he allowed our friend Monica to help him. After this breakthrough he cuddled with her, "chinning", eye contact and all!

Hey @msnbc.com :) I listen to many of your shows on Apple Podcasts and I noticed the transcripts include your ads. It says auto-generated so maybe there's a setting somewhere to drop the excess? Just passing this along :) Keep up the good work!

This could be my favorite marketing tactic... and I hold an MBA and have spent my entire adult life in marketing...

Having a bounce house in your store or restaurant.

I've also seen mini trampolines.

100% of the time we get food from these places...it wasn't on the agenda. #marketing #kids

I love how many people are jumping over to Reddit to figure out the #invalidhandle bug. www.reddit.com/r/BlueskySoc...

Helpful, quick, no nazis....

I hope BlueSky continues its massive, healthy, peaceful growth. Hugs all around :)

It's Valentine's Day! I hope anyone reading this feels loved & appreciated.

Life doesn't always (or usually...) go to plan but guess what? You can ALWAYS make a new plan!

Hugs to you from Paraguay

How did I get so lucky? #blessed #livingthedream #bestview #autism

Sam enjoys a LOT of independent time, so here's my view from the other side of our home....

It's 100 degrees F here....Sam is getting very creative with all the inside play options... #indoorplay #autism #

This day through the years. We are so blessed to live in this time...we are so grateful for travel and freedom. As a single mom I know that so much of our lifestyle wasn't available to my mother or all the women before here. Thank you #feminism for making this possible!

Like a lot of kids, Sam is a picky eater. We've been in South America for almost 4 years and this is the *first time* he has nibbled on an empanada. One day I can stop stockpiling chicken nuggets, lol.

This happened to be a meat and egg breakfast empanada. SO yummy!
