Hello lovely Friends!
Happy mid-week to you.☀️
It's a gray and drizzly here today. I had to run some errands this morning. But then had lunch and hung out with my Annie a while. The time is flying so fast and she'll head back to college soon. So we've been doing lots of gabbing, planning, playing games, golf, watching shows together and just enjoying each others' company. I'm so grateful to have such a special relationship with her and reaching a level of friendship that fills my heart. I love my kiddos more than anything in this world and thank God EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for the gift of them in my life. 🙏🏻
As I think about feeling so blessed to be their Mom...this thought transitions into to my topic today. Pinterest love. I have loved and used pinterest from the first moment I discovered it. I have way more boards and pins than I could possible need...but yet, they continue to grow. Lol I have many different themed boards that provide inspiration in many kinds of ways. So, back to my love of my kiddos - one of my boards is titled "mom stuff" and I have many quotes, funnies & some photos that makes me think of my kids or the joys of being a mother.
Some examples include:
I think a lot of people use pinterest for recipe ideas. It's SO wonderful for that purpose. I have so many boards related to recipes and some include:
seasonal ones like a SUMMER one
CHRISTMAS & WINTER one
MY FAVORITE SEASON (FALL) one
SIDE DISHES board
YUMMY DRINKS board
even a board dedicated just to SLIDERS
Here are some of what I have pinned on all of those various boards to give you more of an idea:
this is a maple chai pumpkin bread 😋
I have also used it as a tool when I'm working on plans for something specific. For example, I had a board for when I worked on Annie's graduation party and did a luau theme. And I have a board for inspiration related to the cottage renovation that Matt and I work on as our retirement plan. Here are some pins from those boards:
I have so many more boards than I've been mentioning here. And thousands of pins. But that's what works for me. I love knowing I have a giant resource, at the ready, that visually fills my brains in the inspirational ways I'm looking for. But I could understand that to some people that's just overwhelming.
I have several boards that are just related to things that speak to my soul. Not for necessarily a definite purpose other than to make me happy. Or be a feast for my eyes and soul.
Some of those boards include:
STAINED GLASS board
POETRY board
STYLE board with outfit ideas
MOTHER THERESA board filled with quotes
COLORS board
Here are some samples of pins from those boards:
So what about you? Are you a pinterest person? If you are, do you have thousands of pins? Or very few?
I have more boards like salads, slow cooker, cottage core, scrapbooking, crafts, artists I like etc. If you want to see all of my pinterest boards and pins just click here.
