Not Giving In To Giving Up

In 2018, one of my husband and my goals is to save, save, save...and one of the ways I'm finding we can do that is if I make more of our food from scratch. We only eat out a handful of times as it is, but I have gotten into the easy habit of pulling boxed goodies off the grocery store shelves instead of pushing myself to LEARN how to make them homemade.

Failing is not fun, and I'm one who finds it so easy to give up when I fail. But not anymore.

The drive to learn...it's not my best attribute. Failing is not fun, and I'm one who finds it so easy to give up when I fail. But not anymore. I'm realizing it’s kind of fun to learn from my mistakes in baking, and then making changes to get better results. So here's to 2018 and not giving in to giving up.
