Pinterest is My Interest

I've discovered Pinterest, and there's no turning back now. My son can never go back to the days where he didn't have a robot sandwich.

I haven't blogged in a long time. Partially because the holidays came and went with the usual tornado of family events, and partly because I've become obsessed with Pinterest.

If you have any passion at all, it will be on Pinterest.com. It's a virtual pin board, to which you pin different articles and pictures to different "boards." It's booming with ideas and inspiration. The most prevalent things I've found (probably because I'm looking for them) are DIY stuff, fashion and makeup, things for kids (everything and anything for kids), gardening, recipes, fitness and decorating.

My favorite things to pin are things for my son. Although it's become a bit of a problem. I decided I was going to take a lunch idea I saw on Pinterest and make it for my son, so I made a robot "sammich." I don't want to toot my own horn, but it was cool, and he was blown away. Unfortunately now he asks me every single day for a robot sandwich. Oops. But there are endless possibilities on Pinterest. You can follow your friends and people with similar taste. You can search for a specific thing, or just scan over everything and wait until something catches your eye.
