I’m Up For the Challenge!

I am the type of person that needs serious motivation and a good challenge to get me moving on something. A few weeks ago sitting at the dinner table, my husband was complimenting me on the delicious dinner I made while I smiled with pride. It was a totally random meal that I threw together using whatever ingredients I found sitting around the fridge. The whole idea of doing this really gets my creative (cooking) juices flowing. It is especially fun for me now that a bunch of the women on the Baby Talkers forums wanted to join me.

Once a week, one of us, usually a new person each week chosen at random, comes up with 2 ingredients and the rest of us MUST use those 2 things in one of our dinners for the week. It’s been really interesting to see all the different menus everyone comes up with. If you would like to join us, check out our Weekly Food Challenge thread for the basics and look out for each new week’s thread, which will be easy to find since they’re dated.

Another challenge currently going on around here is the Daily Cleaning Challenge. Due to privacy since we are (supposed to be) posting pictures of our homes, this is restricted to our subscribing members, but I will give you the basics so you can decide if it’s something you are up for. Each day of the week, we are assigned a different room or area of the house to clean. During the day, we get done whatever we can in that particular section and if we are brave enough, we can show off a picture of our greatness at the end of the day. All throughout the day, people are posting what they’ve accomplished and what they still have left to do. THIS has been incredibly motivating for me.

So far, these are the two challenges I’m participating in at the moment, but I dare ya -

Yep, you heard me. Can you come up with something the women in our community would be interested in? Let me know by leaving a comment (those of you who have not taken the 30 seconds it takes to register, will have to do so in order to comment) and whoever comes up with the best new challenge will win a box of tea, of either the chinese oolong or the black peach variety – your choice!
