When I find things that my husband likes me to cook, I look for ways to improve the recipes or get faster and making certain dishes. It helps that I like to watch cooking shows and I can see how they organize and create delicious meals so I can try too. Pinterest is the best place too look up recipes and ideas that make cooking easier and tastier since I don't plan on going to school I practice and learn how to do things on my own. What I didn't get from my mom, I got from the internet.
Sewing is something that comes and goes for me and it started when I worked at Hancock Fabrics and saw other people doing projects that looked really cool. I learned how to make no sew blankets first and looked up several different ways to tie the ends and connect the two fleece pieces. I was able to share what I learned with others and it was great when they liked the different options which made it even more awesome and rewarding. After starting to get interested (even though my mom tried to teach me when I was younger) I mad myself a few dresses, scarfs, Christmas presents for my nieces, and a tie! Most fun was learning different techniques to make the dresses like pleats and learning how to make a tie.
Another thing I like to learn more about is crafts of all kinds especially with my VIPKID classroom when I'm wanting to redecorate. I recently made a new reward for spring time and enjoyed coming up with the idea and making it come together. Other plans for more decorations around my house I get from Pinterest just like recipes are holiday/seasonal door wreaths, table decorations, gifts, and treats. Spring is my favorite season because I love the colors and weather that is starting to warm up so I also love decorating.
When I reorganize and plan, I like to learn new ways to do these things like how to budget, planning my half marathon training, packing for moving, or making a daily schedule for myself. In doing these things I become a little less scatter brained and learn what is important to myself, even if I don't always follow those new plans. I like to think it helps me improve myself just making the plans because it does last sometimes even if not all the time since there's a baby to occupy most of my time and energy.
Speaking of a wonderful baby...she is going to be turning 7 months and is soooooooooo active! She loves to roll and scoot around the floor to get to toys and closer to us when we are on the couch and we think it is so funny. She still loves bath time and is starting to push her butt up off the floor so crawling isn't too far away now! She is chewing on everything she touches and can eat a good amount of baby food when she isn't mad at mommy for not feeding her fast enough. We have been so blessed to have Claire in our lives and we are looking forward to her growing and learning more.
