I also want to start exercising and eating better and just managing my mental health even better as well. Most of my things are more so thing I just want to "learn" how to do better if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859950 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 09:50:26 +0000 RonjaL7 2859950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always wanted to learn sign language. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859881 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:47:25 +0000 wrkbrk 2859881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GREAT thread.</p> <p>My list for the new year was mostly inspired by the best book I’ve read lately: The Idle Parent. I called my list of goals for 2019 “The year of the natural” :p</p> <p>I want to mainly get outdoors with ds, cook and bake more from scratch, continue to improve our “conscious consumerism,” take up a couple of new things like bird watching and planting our own veggies in our community garden, and just generally being more mindful and intentional all year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859873 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:22:29 +0000 cake2017 2859873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: I’d like to try a new recipe regularly. I wanted to commit to it weekly but I think it would be too hard? So i’m thinking once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859872 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:19:00 +0000 cake2017 2859872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: Love love love pure barre!

I made this for Thanksgiving day breakfast for everyone, and my FIL praised it like no tomorrow (or he's just being polite). But it is truthfully my DS' favorite. I've tried several recipes and this one consistently makes very decent crepes: <a href="https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/basic-crepes/9cfb8afa-58e0-4afb-9a83-acf09a3665f6" rel="nofollow">https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/basic-crepes/9cfb8afa-58e0-4afb-9a83-acf09a3665f6</a></p> <p>Thanks for this post.... I gotta think long and hard:</p> <p>- Visit the cat cafe that I've been wanting to go for MONTHS with DS</p> <p>- Make a mammogram appointment and actually end up going (This is more like a "should do" - my gyn has "prescribed" that for me for the past 3 years to do a mammogram and I've not gone yet)</p> <p>- get back into the work out routine (but that wouldn't be a first)</p> <p>- Doing 1 minute plank every single day</p> <p>- Going to the dermatologist to hopefully get rid of age spots on my face. This is something I'd really love to do.</p> <p>- Last but not least: Research, buy, and own a beautiful pair of cowboy boots :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859864 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:00:47 +0000 jhd 2859864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: I used the Alton Brown recipe for crepes for years with my students and they always turned out great.</p> <p>I want to learn to use my instant pot in 2019. My mom got me one after DS2 was born this spring and I have been too overwhelmed to get it out and learn to use it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859830 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 16:06:39 +0000 MrsADS 2859830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to fit in some self-care without sacrificing much time with kids (3 and 6 months). I started skating lessons about a month ago and I've been going on my own about twice a week at night after they go to bed. It is really fun and I can tell I am getting more in shape. Not sure what I'll do after my group class finishes in a few weeks, but we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859829 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 16:05:35 +0000 Silva 2859829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: my plan is a few private lessons to start. Historically I found it boring but I’m hoping at this stage in life it might feel meditative. I actually reached out to a friend who teaches fitness classss as a side gig and she is going to do it for me. If that falls through our local gym offers private lessons.<br /> If I enjoy it I might try to get a group of friends together for a few group lessons with my daughters instructor because I really like her and it would be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859828 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 16:00:21 +0000 Lindsay05 2859828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Read<br /> Budget<br /> Find a hobby that can make some extra cash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859827 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 15:56:30 +0000 catgirl 2859827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a house this year after being happy renters for many, many years. I feel like I know nothing about house "stuff." So it's kind of broad but I just want to learn more about our house - how to maintain a yard/flower beds, indoor maintenance, how often things need to be addressed. Honestly I'm not even fully sure what I need to learn, just know I want (or need) to :silly: </p> <p>@Silva: Learning to really swim has been on my list for awhile. I can swim enough to get across a small pool, but it's a mess. Now that DD is older I really want to learn, for real. Both to have more fun with her but also from a safety standpoint. We were spoiled in the apartment building we lived at because the pool was only four feet deep - so I stopped worrying about it for awhile. I could walk the whole thing or easily reach DD if needed. How are you planning on approaching it? Group lessons? Private lessons? I'll admit I am pretty embarrassed by the whole thing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859818 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 15:44:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2859818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cook! I say that every year but I've just been in the trenches of pregnancy/babyhood x2. Now that DD2 is 2, I feel like 2019 is going to be a year of self care and doing more things for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859782 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 12:48:13 +0000 Silva 2859782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m hoping to learn to swim (I can a little, but not well), maybe try Barre, and to consistently do the momma strong workouts I’ve started. I’m hoping this will help me have less pain and more energy!</p> <p>Other than that the goal is to find our rhythm and balance as a family of five. The transition to 3 kids hasn’t been easy and while we will be in newborn land for awhile I’m looking forward to getting back to a place where my husband and I feel a little less overwhelmed!</p> <p>ETA: I’m also interested in encorporating more vegan dinners into our rotation, despite my picky eaters </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859778 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 11:38:04 +0000 808love 2859778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! Much better than resolutions.<br /> :) I will work on my list for the New Year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859716 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 01:13:37 +0000 lamariniere 2859716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past few years, we've tried to visit at least one new country every year as a family. In 2018, we visited 3 new countries. DH and I have tentatively agreed on 2 so far for 2019, so we'll see if the trips pan out.</p> <p>As for learning, I'm nearing the end of the first semester of a 2 year master, so I'm definitely ticking the boxes on learning new things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859689 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 21:04:45 +0000 SweetCaroline 2859689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far on the list:<br /> Watch the BBC Planet Earth series with DH<br /> Learn how to make crepes<br /> Learn how to scramble eggs in the microwave (for work)<br /> Grow a patch of wildflowers<br /> Learn how to bind a quilt<br /> Eat cauliflower<br /> Eat brussel sprouts</p> <p>This morning I made and drank French press coffee for the first time. It was delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-new-you-want-to-learntryexperience#post-2859688 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 21:01:55 +0000 SweetCaroline 2859688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many of my favorite memories from 2018 are of trying new things or learning new things. In 2019, I'm going to form a personal goal around this concept. Some things I will do by myself, others with DH and some as a family.</p> <p>I'm not sure what my goal will be...likely to try/learn X new things per month. I would include trying a new recipe. That will be balanced with larger new things like learning in depth about the new board position I recently accepted.</p> <p>What would you like to learn/try/experience for the first time that you could feasibly accomplish in 2019? </p>
