Everyday Warrior
I would like to announce the first post for Kids Corner here at Beans & Tortillas. Every Monday I would like to take a moment to share something “Kids” related from our family to yours. In actuality my ramblings may pertain to just about anything. Topics could range from family stories & outings to crafts, games, and travel tips for kids. The sky is the limit – the dreams are endless.
The perfect time to begin Kids Corner is today. Why? Kids ask why all the time. My [Read more…]
A home business with no red tape! It is so much easier to start up your own company in Honduras. That is just what my husband did. He found a way to support his family even when the odds were against him.
When my husband return from the USA he had to really think hard how he was going to support his family of five. There are very few jobs. If you have the right contacts you might just be lucky enough to obtain that job. He graduated as a teacher, but lost anytime acquired by his employment when he left his [Read more…]
I just finished up a month of blogging on topics for each letter of the alphabet. The A to Z Challenge was a great way for me to organize things I wanted to share. I now have to ask “What is next?”
I decided to jot down some [Read more…]
April is now over and so is the A to Z Challenge 2014. I have never participated in something like this and I am so glad I did. It was a challenge for sure, but so worth it!
When I heard about this challenge for the first time there was only two days to prepare. Grabbing a pen and notebook I quick wrote a list of the alphabet and gave space to write ideas for each letter. Some letters were much easier. I wanted to have topics with only [Read more…]

I had never tried my hand at [Read more…]
Y-is-for-Yamaha: Transportation that helps save money. A moto lasts longer running errands on the lempiras that we put in the gas tank. Gas is like gold and we have to make that gold last as long as possible.
A gallon of gas costs about Lps 112. That is [Read more…]
X-is-for-Xiomara: Libre Party for the people of Honduras. Iris Xiomara Castro de Zelaya is a Honduran Politician. Most just use her second name. When someone is talking about politics and mentions Xiomara they all know where the conversation is going.
This past November (2013) was [Read more…]
W-is-for-Watermelon: A fantastic fruit that brings a smile to my face! Thank goodness there are no allergies in our family. I wouldn’t know what to do. We could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – no problem.
I remember the first time my husband and I picked out a watermelon. It’s as clear as [Read more…]
V-is-for-Vaca: A main dairy & meat producer here in the department of Olancho. Milk cows help make our favorite cheese. Cattle provide for cookouts. Two things my husband loves!

U-is-for-Umbrella: What can your sombrilla do for you? Really your umbrella can be a loyal travel companion. No, it can’t give directions like your smart phone, but it does more than you think and doesn’t talk back. Many leave home without their umbrella, but this companion should be treated like a good friend – kept close! You may ask, “What else can my umbrella do [Read more…]
