1. I’m going to cook through every recipe in the original Magnolia Table cookbook. We love the recipes we have made so far but I’ve only tried a handful since it first came out. We tend to get in a rut when it comes to meal planning so I want to be more adventurous and try things I never would have thought to make. I really enjoy being in the kitchen (just not cleaning up after) so this one should be fun!
2. I need to learn how to use my flash for my dslr. I tried once right after I got it but things did not go well so I gave up. Based on the types of photography I want to specialize in, knowing how to use flash can be a must. I took on a few more sessions last year which really filled my cup. I want to start regularly taking a few sessions throughout the year so this one is high priority for me.
3. Our digital photo stockpile has gotten out of hand. I take so many photos between my phone and camera but I never do anything with them. I’m terrified of losing them due to computers or phones dying before I back them up. I also love the idea of having physical copies out for the kids to look at because they’re obsessed with looking at the ones on my phone. There’s just so many now that even if I chose the cheapest printing option, it would cost a fortune to print them. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start! I’m going to buy each of the boys an external hard drive and back up each of their photos first. If I get through that project by the end of the year then I’ll start printing some from 2020 and work backwards to 2015.
These goals range in effort level but I’m hoping by just focusing on these smaller ones, maybe I’ll accomplish them all this year! Hopefully if I blog along the way I can motivate myself a little more. We shall see!
