Pinterest....

 


Well, I signed up for  Pinterest months ago but haven't been on the site since that initial day.  I thought, 'I don't need to get involved with another social media site.  How big can this be anyway?'  Well, we all know how big it is and clearly I am one of the few who is not a regular user.

I'm certainly not a trendsetter....

Pinterest is invading every facet of our lives.  A twitter chat I participated in yesterday even involved pinning.  I was so out of my element.

So, I guess it's time to look into this again and get on this bandwagon.  I would hate to be left behind.

If you are a Pinterest user I'd love to hear how you use it; what works and what doesn't.

I don't get Pinerest either. I've tried to look for stuff but I keep seeing the same things over and over. I guess if I took the time to learn it, but honestly I just don't want to.

I love Pinterest. I have a paper clutter problem because I print recipes from the internet and sometimes get around to trying them. Pinterest solves my paper clutter issue. When I find a recipe I want to try I save it to my Pinterest boards; the first time I try the recipe I cook from my laptop and Pinterest board. If I like the recipe I print it and put it in my recipe notebook. I also have boards for decorating ideas; health; homemade cleaners and finance tips.

Pinterest is just a place to put all of the "inspirational items" I find on the internet or if I need a quick crafty solution I go to Pinterest. It is just something to do to dream and spend time. Also I post up my DIY's from my blog on there.

Should I stay or should I go...

In December (the last day of school before Christmas break) Little Miss came down with pink eye. It was her first bout with it but I was pretty sure it was contagious and the school nurse confirmed that and suggested that she go straight to the doctor. Easier said than done, apparently. LM has been going to the same pediatrician since she was born. She has been for all her scheduled checkups to this same doctor. I have only had to take her ONCE in almost 8 yrs for something other than a checkup (she had swimmers ear when she was about 2). I am not one of those people who call for an appointment every time she has a sniffle. Apparently, that doesn't mean anything. At least not at Dr. O's office. I call in the late morning to see if LM can get in for her (contagious) pink eye. The receptionist says WITH A STRAIGHT FACE 'let's see, we can see her on Jan 6th.' OH, apparently she didn't hear me say she had pink eye. Yes, she heard me and then babbled on abo...

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro...

Lunch Box Granola...

Image
LM's teacher gave her class an extra credit assignment for math last week.  It was a cooking assignment which helps the kids with fractions.  They had two recipe choices and she picked the lunch box granola.   I have been wanting to make granola for a while so I was happy she chose this one.   She made a list of everything I would need to buy and I headed to the store while she was at school on Friday.   $16 later , I had the missing ingredients.  I was a bit shocked that some of these items cost so much.  I felt like we just bought a grade! All the ingredients ready to go. Recipe Fresh out of the oven. The finished product. LM did everything herself except put the cookie sheet in the oven and take it out. She emailed a picture of it to the teacher and turned in a paragraph about it on Monday.  It turned out delicious and I know I'll be making it again, using up the ingredients I bought.  I don't think I'll ever buy granola again ...
