That's Very Pinteresting!

There is only one word that can accurately describe my feelings towards Pinterest -- LOVE!! If you don't have never heard of Pinterest or don't have an account yet you are seriously missing out. For those of you who aren't quite sure what Pinterest is all about here is my take...

Pinterest is basically a website that allows you to organize things you find online into a visually appealing creative list.

For example:
Say you're on the Pioneer Woman's website and you happen to stumble across her recipe for "Perfect Pot Roast". Well, it's 10pm and you know you probably aren't going to cook a pot roast at 10pm. You also know that you have a lot coming up during the next week and you might be eating a lot of popcorn or cereal for dinner because you won't have time to cook. The recipe just looks so darn delish and mouthwatering though that you don't want to forget about it, should you decide to attempt making a pot roast in three months. So here's what you do, you just click this cute little button at the top of your tool bar (at least that's what I call it) that says "Pin It". When you click the "Pin It" button your screen changes into rows of the beautiful pot roast photos. Next, you decide which photo is the one that makes you drool and you hold your mouse over it and then select the "Pin This" button that appears. A little box while pop up and let you decide what "board" (basically a category) you want to pin your Pot Roast photo too. I put mine on my "Delish Recipes" board (you can name your own boards). You can also write a short description underneath the photo in case you might forget what was so special about it:) Ta-Da! Now it's ready and waiting.

Seven months later and you decide today is the day! I'm going to attempt a pot roast. All you have to do is navigate to your "Delish Recipes" board and click on your Pot Roast pin. It will take you right back to the Pioneer Woman's website where the recipe is located. How amazing is that?!!



Think I'm going to try making this for my loves (aka: husband) this weekend. Crossing my fingers that it will at least be edible...
