My Love Affair With Pinterest

Are y'all sick of me talking about Pinterest?

If you are, you probably should exit out of this post so as not to further sicken yourself.

I seriously can't get enough of this site.

It changes every single day.

All day.

One question though.

Why the weird name, Pinterest?

I get the "pin" part, but what's the meaning behind the rest?

Someone please tell me so I can sleep at night.

Update:

Some totally smart person just explained the name to me.

Just in case you were wondering the same thing,

it's Pin-Interest.

You know, your interests, what you're interested in.

Duh.

I spent 4 years in college and still couldn't figure that one out.

Scary.

Moving on to the 3 things I am obsessed with this week on Pinterest.

I sound like Andy Cohen from Watch What Happens Live.

Love him.

1. Crockpot Tortilla Soup

I "stole" this recipe from Pinterest on Monday,

dumped all the ingredients in the crockpot on Tuesday before I left for work

and came home to the most incredible smell around 3:30.

To say the kids loved it, is an understatement.

They licked their bowls clean last night.

Seriously.

Hello, sassy bowl of greatness.

We'll be seeing you again real soon.

Let me know if you want the recipe.

2. Giant Scarecrow

I found this big guy on "Pin"...that's what I'm going to call Pinterest from here on out...last week,

and it was love at first sight.

I said to myself, "I can do that".

And I did.

I think it turned out pretty cute.

3. Halloween Character Banner

Remember when I showed y'all a preview of these awhile back?

Well, I made one for home and one for my classroom,

but the office staff liked it so much,

they hung it up in the office!

One first grade teacher even had her students replicate it

and incorporated it into a mini lesson.

Pin is awesome!

There are so many great ideas.

"They" say that imitation is the best form of flattery,

so to the creators of all this fun stuff,

be flattered and thank you!!

Now, friends, go pin some stuff!

Happy Wednesday!
