Hi my name is... And I am addicted to Pinterest.

So I have a new addiction apparently.
I'm not sure if I am alone in this, or the first person to admit the I even have a problem. I can't help myself. I give into my craving at least 2-3 times a day. I go online at work during lunch, I use the app on my phone, and check my laptop at night after I put the girls to bed. In fact I'm counting the minutes until I'm done writing this blog entry so that I can quench my thirst for pinning once I click "post".

That's right people, I'm addicted to Pinterest. It is AWESOME. And I'm not ashamed to admit it!

For those of you not familiar with the virtual pin board, social network of a site inbox me for an invite ;0)

But this is pretty much how it works:
1. Invite only network (you can request one on the homepage or through a friend who already pins)

2. Create your boards by category (ex: things for the house, my dream closet, travel destinations, recipes, and so on)

3. Search your interests & "like" or "pin/repin" till your little hearts content.

I have boards for everything! Party ideas, travel spots, crafts, clothes I'd love to own but can not afford... The list goes on and on.

I can't help myself. The benefits are endless! Just this past weekend I found an idea for a kids drive in movie night. All I needed was card board boxes big enough for the little kiddies to sit in and crayons with a glue stick. They decorated their cars and purchased their concessions with the play money I supplied. And off to the drive in they went to watch Happy Feet. Brilliant! And they LOVED it!

How can my addiction be stopped? Why should it? It helps me stay organized with event planning, recipe ideas and crafts for the kids. It even helps curb my guilty pleasure of buying things I don't need and can't afford.

Totally a win win. I highly suggest trying it ;0)
