So Pinteresting . . .

January 26, 2012

I joined Pinterest this week, and it's so much fun! I can see why it becomes an addiction :)

If you're on Pinterest, follow me here, and I'll follow you back. If you're wondering what Pinterest is, well, it's an online bulletin board that makes it easy to find and organize things that you love. For instance, my Beaver Valley Mac Kid Pinterest boards are divided into areas that (hopefully) would interest parents:  birthday party ideas for kids, kids' crafts, treats, fun things to do in Beaver County, and others that could give ideas and provide inspiration to other parents. I'll be adding more boards over the next few days that will help busy moms and dads. I have a ton of ideas! What's nice is that you can easily connect your Pinterest account to your Facebook or Twitter accounts, too.

The BEST part about Pinterest is that you can "re-pin" other users' great ideas and share them with your friends. And it's so much fun to look at--it's very visual. There's one catch, though: it's invite only. You can request an invite from Pinterest, or I can invite you (that may speed up the process). Just email me at danah@macaronikid.com if you'd like an invite.

I'm really glad I tried it out. There are so many great ideas out there--you wouldn't believe what people have thought of. Looking for ideas for the 100th day of school? Or wondering what kind of crafts to make for Valentine's Day? Pinterest can help you!
