Most Americans understand the issue of "stuff." There is an overabundance of accumulation in our society. There are events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmases in which people amass more "stuff." For anyone that is familiar with the iconic comedian, George Carlin, they may be familiar with one of his comedic routines on "stuff." He... Continue Reading →
Thank you to my neighbors, my dry-cleaning lady and my mom, because this year, I have had more zucchini than ever! After sauteing breaded zucchini slices and crock-potting zucchini stew, I have been whipping up batches of mini-zucchini breads! I found this recipe online entitled "Mom's Zucchini Bread Recipe." Please note that I have made... Continue Reading →
First I must say that after working full-time my entire adult life, I truly love staying at home. Now that the Honey Badger is over the two-year hump, some things have gotten easier, but others, not so much.

To be... Continue Reading →

To know about Afghanistan and appreciate its richness, one must know a little about... Continue Reading →
An interest of mine lies in the heart of discovering other peoples and cultures. Last year, I decided I would begin reading and researching countries around the world. I didn't know where to begin, so I thought I would just start alphabetically. That led me to the country of Afghanistan. I wasn't sure what I... Continue Reading →
This past Sunday, our church, like so many other orthodox churches across the world, practiced the freedom of forgiveness. Following Divine Liturgy, we enjoyed one another's company during our coffee hour and then continued on with the Forgiveness Sunday Vesper service. This service includes all members of the congregation that choose to participate getting together... Continue Reading →
Since my little "picky pants" (AKA the Honey Badger) is constantly trying to exercise her toddler authority, she insists on eating the same foods over and over again. I think her addiction to the yogurt, Noosa, is going to break the bank! So I am trying to think outside of the box. I don't typically... Continue Reading →
