Reading through all the New Year's posts and articles made me think of a few more things I'm going to try to do this year.
On Lauren Conrad's website* they had a list of 10 resolutions everyone should make. One of them overlaps with a resolution that apparently Pope Francis has for us all. That is to stop wasting food. I am very guilty of this. I'll buy something and use it for one meal, but never find a use for the rest of it. During the Farm Share I was super guilty of wasting fresh veggies! I know. I'm ashamed, but sometimes I just couldn't find a use for a whole head of cabbage when I had a busy week. So I'm going to clean the fridge of all out of date food and focus and using every thing I buy or putting it in the freezer before it goes bad.
Second goal is to keep learning. Last Spring I learned how to screen print, but then I didn't sign up for anything new. I'm going to try to keep something on the calendar. I found some cool online resources yesterday that I'm excited to try out.
General Assembly- https://generalassemb.ly/ has some cool classes and workshops in DC. Focused around web design, business and technology.
Codecademy- http://www.codecademy.com/ teaches coding starting at the simplest level. I already learned to make an animation from my name and start a mini solar system.
Coursera- https://www.coursera.org has college courses from all over, some are free and some are paid. You can take a class or they have specializations that have a series of courses.
*Yes I occasionally read Lauren Conrad's site. I may have a small girl crush on her.
Please! I totally read Lauren Conrad's site! I'm also really guilty of wasting food. It's really hard in my house...with my husband gone 50% of the time, it becomes really difficult to go through an entire bag of spinach on my own (just an example).
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that General Assembly site!
I just quit buying food and eating at work. Lauren Conrad is cool. Nice goals!
