I {heart} Pinterest!!!

So... have you ever heard of Pinterest? If you haven't, you must check it out! It's like FB married my inspiration board and you have Pinterest. So, instead of bookmarking everything into a million folders or tearing things out of magazines, I can just "pin" things I find inspirational onto this board... and then all my friends on Pinterest can see them too and pin them if they like it... or I can pin some of their things too. At first I thought it was a total time suck, and Mark used to make a sucking sound every time he'd see me on it, but now I actually use it for what it's for. I've been able to come up with some great scrapbooking projects from some things that I've found on Pinterest, like this owl I made last month.

Or I've been able to do some meal planning by picking some interesting meals I've found like these skinny meatloaf cupcakes which were sooooo yummy!!!

Last night we also had brown sugar and balsamic crock pot pork, which was also delicious!

I've even found color inspiration and ended up painting the bar stools aqua, because of this picture! Remember this post from almost 2 years ago when I couldn't figure out what color to paint them? Well, it took me this long to finally decide to paint them and once I finish painting them I'll post a pic!!!

I've also started a "homeschool" folder to post some fun projects to do with the kids... I love that when you click on the picture you get the blog or website address to the tutorial or recipe or shop. So... what I originally thought was a total time suck has turned out to be really helpful and motivating to get things done like decorating the house, meal planning or working on homeschool stuff.

Do you love Pinterest?
