I love learning. I'm not talking about the kind of learning that comes with parenting a toddler. That's baptism by fire kind of learning. I'm talking about new hobbies, broadening my horizons, kind of learning.
Here are ten things I would like to learn or learn more about:
1. Backyard composting
2. Knitting - I tried knitting when I was a kid, but never figured it out. I taught myself to crochet, so I'm pretty sure I can teach myself to knit (when I don't have a bazillion other things clamouring for my attention!).
3. Photography - my skillz are certainly lacking, as is decent photography equipment in this household.
4. How to make yogurt - I've tried twice and failed twice. I'd like to try again, just haven't been brave enough yet.
5. How to use Stumble Upon
6. How to be organized without spending lots of money on cute organizers
7. More about the Montessori method
8. How to not get stressed out when my child is disobedient
9. More American Sign Language
10. How to be a better mother, a better wife, a better bloggy friend, etc, etc. I didn't say these were skills I want to master, just learn more about!
and a BONUS! How to make cloth diapers for baby dolls. Ladybug wants to diaper all of her dolls and I can't afford to keep them all in disposable diapers!
What about you? What is something that you would like to learn more about?

The composting thing is much easier than you'd think! We just started doing it a little while ago. It's great to not have to throw so much away. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you figure out #8, will you please write a post about it:) Check out the link Amanda added to her Top Ten from Christine (about stumble upon) ... it's really not hard & her post makes it even easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mandi! I need that number 8!! And I don't even know what Sumble Upon is, so I must be way behind the times!
ReplyDeleteI could have written this list myself! Took level 1 ASL years ago and definitely need a refresher. I'd like to try this method of making yogurt http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html
ReplyDeleteMost of these would be on my own top-10 of what I want to learn about. I know a tiny tiny smidge of ASL and used it with my children when they were pre-verbal. Great list - good luck!
ReplyDeleteCan I just ditto your entire list? Well, maybe I'm not quite ready for backyard composting... Love it! There are so many things I want to learn too.
