Mama Loves: Pinterest

Welcome to another week of Mama Loves! So glad that you've stopped by!

Mama Loves is a linky party where mamas can share anything that has made your life easier as a mama.

Maybe you've found: 

• a toy or book that captivates your child(ren)
• gear you just can't live without
• a recipe your choosy toddler gobbles down
• a parenting book that you've found perspective changing
• an activity that wears your kid(s) out (these lead to good naps, which we all love)
• an outfit that flatters your post-baby body and makes you feel fabulous
• or anything else you're loving--creativity welcome!

Share it with us! Blogging has made me a better mama, because I've learned about all kinds of great things, like those listed above, from mamas just like you. Here's your chance to share it with all of us!

To link your post up, click on the linky tool at the bottom, and follow the directions, it's really easy. You can also add this beautiful button to your post. Just grab the code in the box, copy and paste it into your post. Easy.

Are you guys on Pinterest?

Pinterest is the greatest black hole of time. If I'm not careful, I can get on there Monday afternoon, and not emerge till Wednesday morning.

But I love it. And the girls kinda keep me from the whole Monday to Wednesday without a break thing.

I've suddenly become obsessed with finding engaging, challenging activities for the girls. Pinterest is full of those! Just check out a few that I've pinned (a.k.a bookmarked for those of you not down with the Pinterest lingo--get it? Pinterest. Pinned?). I've made/attempted a couple of these already, which I can't wait to share with you!

Our CSA, has given us some vegetables in our basket that have posed challenges for me. But, I can go on Pinterest, and type in "turnip recipes" or "cabbage recipes" and get hundreds of great ideas! Then, I can Pin those recipes on my own page to save and share.

You can follow me on Pinterest. If you don't already have an account, leave me your email address, and I'd be happy to send you an invite. And, if you're already on Pinterest, give me your info, so I can follow you!

Please join this big, wide world of Pinterest. Just don't blame me if you're unable to account for hours of your life. You've been warned.
