The Pinterest Challenge

So my mom, the awesome, messages me this morning on FB with lots of cute ideas from Pinterest. She said she is trying to stay off FB bc she is tired of the negative posts and drama.

AMEN TO THAT!

So I start looking around and ideas start popping to my head, and crafts I've been wanting to do but just haven't start lurking into my view. Then the thought hit me.

I need to start living more of my Pinterest and less of my FB. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing friends and families lives on FB and that how I catch up with the people that mean the most to me and how I keep up to date and plan for Thursday Bible study with my FABULOUS ladies.

Then the bored scrolling begins.

That's when the drama, hateful posts, things I don't really care to see, and things that get my blood bubbling come from. Why do we feel the need to post this stuff?! It's toxic to our minds.

So I have decided that Pinterest is going to start taking over FB. Not just the "repining". The actual living out my boards! I'm going to challenge myself to do 2 things minimum from my boards every week. One food item and something else. Then review it for y'all to "That looks so good", "That is pretty", "I need to try that now", and of course the infamous PINTEREST FAILS!

Now let me tell you, I'm crafty. But I also have a crazy toddler whose height allows him to literally take photos off our walls, and cheap sheet rock walls that barely allow those photos to hang in the first place. So as far as house décor goes... either there will only be a few things done in that board or several of you will be getting beautiful homemade house décor! (Comment with your address and birthday and you may get something! LOL)

The recipe part will be a piece of cake... pardon and don't pardon the pun! I use Pinterest every week to meal plan anyway. The rest y'all may have to remind me... or tell me that you demand I do this craft so you can find out easier ways to do the same thing. I will take suggestions! Each week I could do a craft, makeup tip (no to contouring, maybe to clean smoky eye, yes to zit stoppage and dark circle cures and maybe the puuurrrrfect cat eye for a date night.), cleaning/organizing tips, potty training tips (that's about to start!), care package ideas (yea... that's coming around again too. Boo), Bible study ideas, date ideas. Pretty much any and everything on Pinterest! I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty darn excited about this! I mean I have already gotten several ideas from there that I use, so why not just make it something of a routine.

So here's the real question... what would you like to see done and who wants to come over and have Pinterest days?!

*Note that I don't have a lot of power tools to do the awesome wood work with pallets and such that would be beautiful to have in my house. I also don't have a garage to do such work like that. I guess that's where we light a fire under my dad's lazy boy chair and make him join in too if need be. I would like to keep these things to about a hour-ish each week... bc Jameson does climb all furniture now and runs around like a crazy, yet adorable, Neanderthal in his diaper while telling the dog No. I guess taming the crazy in him will be something I need to look up on Pinterest too!
