Once upon a time, I had a love affair with Pinterest. We spent tons of time together… I started deeply into Pinterest’s Website and poured my heart and soul onto my PinBoards. We spent late nights together and we spent relaxing Sundays snuggled up on the couch. Our Someday seemed so bright…
Or so I thought!!
Ever since Makenzie entered the picture, Pinterest has never treated me the same. Granted, I don’t have as much time to dedicate to the relationship, but I feel a bit betrayed. And sometimes I even feel that Pinterest is trying to make me feel like a bad person.
I can’t tell you how many times I log onto Facebook to see other Moms boasting about their new homemade wreath made from Scrabble tiles, or their amazing mandarin salad served in a glass jar with a homemade label using festive tissue squares. Really Pinterest? Just because I don’t have time to construct a crib from paper mache doesn’t mean you should move on so quickly. And to the other Moms crafting their hearts out, HOW do you find time to do it??
Perhaps I’m slightly jealous of the other Moms spending so much time with my old flame, but I think it’s time to share my new version of reality.
Introducing FINterest… for Moms who actually want to FINish something.
This specific FinBoard is entitled
