Somebody help me, I can’t stop pinning! Pinning, you say? What the…?
Pinterest is an online bulletin board of sorts. It’s a way to create visual bookmarks of your favourite things, places you want to visit, recipes you’d like to try, and ideas you’d like to remember. It’s a great way to organize craft ideas, home renovation concepts, birthday party ideas and many other things.
What I like about it (other than the fact that I can pin with one hand while the baby nurses or sleeps in the other – haha!) is that you can see what other pinners have been up to and get fabulous ideas from people you don’t even know. This is how it works: you see something that someone else pinned on the Pinterest home page and you can choose to “re-pin” it to one of your bulletin boards and so on and so on. It is like a chain reaction that can consume hours! You can also choose to pin something from any website you visit with a quick click. Later, by clicking on one of your pins you will be lead to its orginating site (i.e., the website where a recipe resides).
Pinterest has made me want to become more crafty, bake and cook more, renovate my house, and become a super mom who makes amazing and cute snacks for my kids and gives them the best birthday parties ever! Maybe some of these things are pipe dreams, but I do find it inspirational and motivational, and there’s nothing wrong with that!
If you haven’t started pinning yet, I warn you, once you start, it’s hard to stop! If you need an invitation to join, just let me know!
Happy Pinning!
