I can so relate to this, I had to make it my profile picture on Facebook!!!!!

Have you discovered Pinterest?

Someone had showed me this site a few weeks back and I just really was not interested.  I thought to myself, I don't have time to be looking at all that stuff.  They bookmarked it on my computer, then someone sent me emails with cute birthday party ideas.  Next thing you know I am on Pinterest.  Again, jumping into something I know absolutely nothing about.  Then I start "liking" pins.  One day I looked at my account and it said I did not have any "pins" so I knew I had to "pin" something.  Then I see everyone is talking about this "Pinterest".  Then I got lucky I received an email from Tory Johnson you might know her as "Women for Hire" or "Spark and Hustle".  She had a great article on Pinterest stating it is the newest Social Media Tool, so of course that sparked my attention, since I seem to have this magnetic force that draws me to Social Media.  Anyways, this tool is a traffic driver.  People find things they like and then they "pin" it, then their friends "repin" it, creating a large word-of-mouth interest .  WOW!  Powerful!  So you want to make sure you create your profile, then be prepared to drift away into Pinterest Country. 

Did you ever want to create a dream or goal book? Places you would to visit?  Things you wanted to do?  Love to do crafts and like new ideas? Looking for home decor ideas?  Like trying new recipes?  Or maybe visit the past?  Like Motivation and Encouragement? You can do all this and more on Pinterest.  As you find things you like you "Pin" it.  You also create "Boards" to organize your "Pins".

I love it, and have figured out on how to create my boards, share pictures, etc.  It is very easy to use.  This is a very visual site, I think that is why I like it so much. 

Here is what Wikipedia has about Pinterest

What's the history of Pinterest? How did it get started?

What's the story behind it?

 

And Yes, Pinterest is on Facebook

 

So hopefully this will help you understand "Pinterest" a little bit more.

Happy Pinning!!!!

25 signs you are passionate about something

Our Sunday School lesson is on "Be Passionate" so I thought I would google "when you are passionate about something" and I cam across 25 signs you are passionate about something. This was exactly what I was hoping to find. Our lesson is out of Deuteronomy 6:4-14; 7:6-9.

What are you Passionate about????

I love to shop online

I recently found out about Totsy.  This is an awesome online site with exclusive deals for children, mothers and families that add up to 90% off regular prices.  They plant a tree when you place your first order.

Since we NOW have four children in our home, any chance we get to save money is a plus!  Also, when you refer your friends you earn Totsy credits.

New Recipe Ideas

I have discovered something that is a hit in my household.  A very refreshing drink:

Melon Sherbert and Gingerale.  Instead of ice I use scoops of Sherbert.

A friend of mine shared this dip recipe with me.  The first time I did not drain the Pineapple but you know what?  It was still good, just soupy.

1 package of cream chease
1 can of pineapple (drained)
diced bellpepper (to your taste/liking)
Celery salt (to your taste/liking)

Mix well.  You can try any type of variation you would like with this great dip.  The first time I made it I used green onion instead of celery salt.
