The Week 3 Challenge details are live! Week 3 officially starts on Monday, January 26th.

Don't forget to wrap up your Week 2 before tackling Week 3.

The third week of anything is the toughest, so hang in there!

I've seen that a few people are feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am repeating myself but please, remember that this is for you, it's not a competition against other people. We are here to support each other and share our experiences. Just do as much as you feel you have the time and energy for, and don't stress over it! Also remember that most things are much harder when you are just starting out. The more you do it, the easier it gets! When I started making bentos for myself again after a very long blank period about 2 or so years ago, I was taking ages to do anything, and I almost gave up on it. But I kept doing a bento or so a week, then more, and soon I could whip up a simple bento in a jiffy. (And then I got the idea for the Just Bento site, which has Taken Over, but that's another story. ^_^;) You will probably experience something similar...just hang in there!
