You don’t have to finish everything you start
If I had read a title like this a year ago, or even a month ago, I would have thought that the author was crazy and that they just wanted to give up on themselves before they even started.

Weekly mishap – Zero Waste Lesson
Two weeks ago, I was in the kitchen, just about to make myself some pasta. If you know me, this is almost a daily occurrence.

You have probably heard me say this before, but gift-giving holidays make me pretty stressed out. The idea that it is easter, so I must purchase the people I love bunny shaped chocolate eggs - well, I just don't like it.

I have given myself a challenge and I thought I would share it with you all.
