Did you know that Thomas Edison made over 10,000 attempts before he had a working light bulb. However, he didn't view himself as a failure. He was able to definitely tell you 10,000 ways a light bulb wouldn't work. I try to keep that philosophy in mind whenever I fail at something, there are many of them!
This past January I was all pumped and ready to participate in the pantry challenge. Guess what, I failed. However I'm ready to try it again! Just like everyone else our life is really hectic, working outside the house adds a different dimension. Unfortunately meal planning and cooking falls a little by the wayside. I like this pantry challenge because it is a little more loosey goosey, which I thrive on!
I will be joining Jessica at Good Cheap Eats for her pantry challenge this summer. Here are my goals:
Clean out and re-organize the pantry (already working on that!)
Use up product that has been sitting in the pantry for a while
Eat together more as a family - healthier meals
Clean out refrigerator and freezer
What about you? Are you joining the challenge and what are your goals?
I love your goals. I'm trying it too!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure and check back to see how you're doing. Hopefully we'll both have some success :)
ReplyDeleteI did the exact same thing in January: tried valiantly to do the pantry challenge and failed. Well, I'm with you this go-around. I will be taking the challenge, too, but this time I'm going to be a little easier on myself. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you too! I tried to go a little easier on myself also. Small, reachable goals sometimes provides a little more success and less self-reproach :) I'm looking forward to seeing how you do.
