For months (MONTHS) I had friends telling me to get on Pinterest.
You’ll love it,
it’s right up your ally,
It’s so yooooooou. they all said.
I resisted knowing that I already have a mild (major?) facebook addiction.
Add to that my time emailing, blogging, writing, doing family newsletters, updating our family website, skyping, tweeting, my birth club forum, instagraming, and googling everything i want to know about everything… and that makes for a lot of time online.
Last thing i needed was another social network.
Two weeks ago I caved.
Signed up for Pinterest.
Hello, yes. I am completely hooked.
I’m already having to limit my time on it.
No more than once–maybe twice–a day. And mostly I do it on my while I’m breastfeeding so it’s not like I’m really “wasting” time.
Right? Right??
But that’s also when I check facebook, read blogs, scroll through instagram.
*sigh* When will I ever have time for all my social networking when I finish breastfeeding?
For now I won’t worry about it. No doubt by then there will be another social networking site and i’ll have to shuffle my online time once again.
So many time wasters to decide between. What’s a girl to do?
STOP.
Q for you: Are you on Pinterest? (Here’s me.) Do you love it as much as I do?
Love,
A

I too am a huge fan of pinterest. It’s kind of a blessing, having one single place to keep things organized like recipies and well everything else I find online thats inteesting…lol. I would usually print off recipies that I liked, but now with pinterest and the lovley android phone (gotta love the technology of our day.) I use my phone as a cookbook in the kitchen. 😉 Naptime is usually my sit blog and catch up on all the social media sites.

it really is amazing isn’t it? a few years back if you would have told me i’d have a cook book on my phone… and i would have access to millions of recipes at the click of a button… that my phone would fit in my pocket…
mind boggling, isn’t it?
