I used to paint and draw a lot before having lo but not ever now, there's just no time, I'd like to get back to being creative. I've always wanted to learn to blow glass but probably not going to happen for ten years, I'd love to learn with dh, he's a talented artist, I know he'll be really good, plus he's huge so it'll be easy for him where I know it'll be physically challenging for me, but it'll be awesome and exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780861 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 18:53:03 +0000 ineebee 2780861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Change my own oil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780852 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 18:08:24 +0000 jhd 2780852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: yes to organization!

It's Canada's second language and it's popular where I live. I don't think I'll ever learn, but we're planning on putting or kidsnin French immersion in school so they'll be able to teach me a bit...and then be way above my French level very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780811 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 13:55:14 +0000 PawPrints 2780811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showjumping, like on a horse.

Not likely to happen at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780798 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 13:16:19 +0000 josina 2780798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: OMG, me too, awful at small talk with people I don't know.<br /> @2PeasinaPod: I did learn how to crochet in high school and have made a ton of scarves, but that's as far as I've gotten. A friend of mine makes super cute children's hats.<br /> @Foodnerd81: I would love to speak another language also, I took 4 years in high school but our teacher was horrible (seriously, we played UNO and only opened the book once my senior year).<br /> @birdofafeather: DH is actually teaching himself how to play the guitar now with online tutorials. Doable if you've got the time, and a guitar ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780782 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:31:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2780782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sing and play the guitar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780781 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:29:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 2780781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could speak another language. I took four years of Spanish in high school and never tried that hard and was never good at it. </p> <p>I also wish I could sew, like properly sew with a machine. I can hand sew simple things and I’m crafty, and my mom taught me some basics. I probably will learn once the kids are older and I have a little more time to think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780773 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:06:27 +0000 DesertDreams88 2780773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Relax.</p> <p>Haha.... but for real.</p> <p>Also, play piano. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780750 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:38:29 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2780750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew how to decorate, in general and for the holidays. I tend to put out the exact same items in the exact same places each year for the holidays and then the rest of the time my rooms are pretty blank/bare. I had the hardest time coming up with a nursery and even then its just colors I like together rather then any real decorating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780749 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:36:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 2780749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: My husband doesn't have this either...his dad does so he helps us a lot, but man it'd be so nice to be like "go get the saw lets knock this out." (haha we do not own a saw...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780748 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:35:01 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2780748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Gah...you and me both on the small talk. I freeze up.</p> <p>I also wish I could play the piano. I can read music and have played the clarinet, but it's very different when it comes to the piano. </p> <p>I also wanted to learn how to crochet for a long time. I taught myself (with the help of youtube videos and a nice book from a craft store), and I love it. I'm only really into making blankets and hats...I wish I could figure out how to make clothes, but I don't have the time right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780732 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 10:55:25 +0000 erinbaderin 2780732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew how to draw, and I wish I knew how to talk to people I don't know.

Make more of our bread, croissants, better pie crust, etc. I have such an interest in it but no time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780715 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:59:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2780715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cook :silly: </p> <p>I can, but I can only cook simple things; otherwise I'd have to follow a recipe and I'll take 3 hours to cook 1 thing. </p> <p>DH is an amazing cook and with our work schedules, he is home before me so he pretty much does 100% of the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780713 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:52:44 +0000 Mama Bird 2780713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might try my hand at quilting this fall. DD needs a bigger blanket and I have lots of fabric scraps. I am definitely not getting any special equipment though, cause I don't have time to go to a craft store and pick them out... so it may end up a total mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780712 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:49:48 +0000 josina 2780712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I would love to be good at interior design/decorating. Pinterest photos only help so much.<br /> @mrskansas: My grandma plays, and a cousin, so jealous. Now i just don't have the time to learn! I'd love to have my kids learn though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780707 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:36:03 +0000 mrskansas 2780707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to be able to play the piano. My dad is amazing at it and is already planning on teaching my daughter but I wish he would have taught me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780706 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:35:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 2780706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: SAME</p> <p>My Dad is super handy. I really wish I was more adept at home improvements, in all ways. Electrical, plumbing, and even just basic construction.... I need to put some new steps on my side porch and i'm thinking about doing it myself using youtube videos. how hard can it be?! I don't want to pay someone for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780701 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:31:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 2780701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I wish I was more handy with home improvements. I'm working on it, but I just don't think I have the talent! I have some shelves I want to build and I'm worried :) And decorating, we just moved into a new house and I don't really have an eye for décor. I find ideas on Pinterest but they never look the same when I'm done trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-knew-how-to-do#post-2780696 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:25:00 +0000 josina 2780696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you wish you knew how to do?<br /> Do you think you'll ever learn? </p> <p>I've always wanted to play the piano, but never made it to lessons. I doubt I'll be learning anytime soon.<br /> I'd also love to know how to sew baby clothes and blankets. I haven't run a sewing machine since home ec in high school - maybe someday! </p>
