How PINteresting!

I've seen all of the Twitter, FB, and blog posts shouting out to the world how fabulous Pinterest is.  I didn't know what it meant.  I didn't have time to find out.  I didn't care to become addicted to yet another form of social media. 


I have a house to straighten up! 

I have kids to feed!  

 A highly active toddler who seriously needs to be supervised every nanosecond of the day!

An infant who pees in her diaper on average 3x an hour and demands a new one each time. 

   There is a DVR to catch up on! 

 (Oh yes I do!!!!)





Buuut then a friend sent me a personal invitation.  And I had a few minutes to spare.  And I figured out how absolutely awesome it is in a matter of seconds.  There I was- pinning away food ideas and future birthday party ideas and oh yea I am in. love. with. Pinterest.


And inspiration has been born!  I am planning on making Alyssa her very first Halloween costume.  So far I spent about $3.00 and I don't intend on spending much more to complete it.  As opposed to spending around $40.  And without depriving either of us any difference in cuteness between store bought and homemade.  Can you smell my excitement?  Have I mentioned I have NEVER made anything homemade???  Have I mentioned that I spent well over an hour in Joann Fabric deciding on two very specific items needed for the first part of this project? 

Have I mentioned that there is a baby?  In a swing?  Who is not interested in napping even though her brother finally is?
