I've been avoiding it for months now. I see all kinds of posts on facebook. I've heard the ladies at Target bragging, "Oh I found it on Pinterest!" I've heeded the warnings, "Don't go there! It's addicting!"
Just for the heck of it, I decided to go there. I mean, I already sit at this box for four hours a day (working I might add) so what's another hour...or two...or...
I'm fascinated! You can find just about anything! And is it just me, or does the site cause you to lose a little bit of self-esteem? Was your self-worth a tad bit tarnished after visiting? Do you feel a sense of anxiety brewing? The feeling like you have to do better... you have to be more organized... more creative. How many times did you visit and say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
I've come to realize that Pinterest just might be the catalyst I've been looking for to better my life!
Here are some examples...
R's first birthday is in a few weeks. I could whip up a cake like this...
Instead of what I did for K on her first birthday...
 I could have a home office like this.. |

Instead of this...
Look at the creative food I can make for K! Maybe she would actually eat!
Yes, I think I have time to make ALL her meals look like this!
And I'm growing my hair out! So I could do this...
Instead of always doing this...
I really do like this outfit... except the shoes. I'd break my neck!
Wouldn't the hubby be so pleased to come home and see his wifey all dressed so nicey!
And look at the magical room I could make for K!
And pictures like these...
...well they just make me pout and think, "Aawwwww why didn't I do that?!?!?!"
And in my hours of spare time...
...cream cheese stuffed strawberries anyone?
And while I'm at it, why not add a little spice to my marriage!?!?
By creating this sexy master bedroom addition?
I could find all kinds of inspiring quotes...
...that make you feel all warm and gushy inside.
This one is from Steve Jobs. So props on that one.
And who knew! You can make a wreath out of toilet paper rolls!
I'm going to get started on ALL of these pinteresting ideas right now!
(see you in about three years)
In all seriousness,
I love my simple life.
I love my mess.
And I wouldn't have it any other way!
(and yes, I'll probably go back to Pinterest... can't wait to see the latest idea on making a mud room organizational unit...and I don't even have a mudroom!)
