Guess what? I have emerged from the mommy haze almost two years after having my child and remembered, "oh yeah, I have a blog..." So without fanfare, I am rejoining the blogosphere. Dozens of faithful readers await.
Will I mark this occasion with a meaningful post about my parenting journey, you ask? Why, no, I will not. Trust me, it's all been said before. I had no idea the legions of mommy bloggers there are churning out daily witticisms about potty until having a child myself. Anything you want to find is out there. Trust me.
Today, I have a much more important topic on my mind: Pinterest. In case you haven't heard of it you should check it out. It's a site that lets you create digital pin boards of things you like or that make you "lol." In all seriousness, I can happily waste many valuable hours on Pinterest, but like anything that requires the general public to be involved it is...enlightening.
Here are ten things I have learned from Pinterest in no particular order:
1) Nail art is a big deal. No seriously. I had no idea people were giving themselves ombre manicures or using scotch tape in such an ingenious fashion.
2) There are really is no limit to the totally adorable poses you can use in your overexposed family photography. Extra points will be awarded for cute signs or using your hands to make a heart shape.
3) You can do a lot with plastic spoons. Unfortunately, they still look like plastic spoons to me when turned into a delightful chandelier. Maybe I lack creative vision.
4) I wish I had invented the site someecards.com People love them some personalizable snark.
5) Cute baby animals are not just for inspirational posters any more.
6) Mason jars will give you a lot of street cred with the crafting/diy set.
7) People really dig cupcakes. Especially if they look like other food (e.g. hamburgers), are layered in a rainbow or come on a stick.
8) Casseroles and crock pots: they aren't just for church potlucks any more.
9) Apple cider vinegar could probably cure cancer if you could gargle it, drink it and soak your body in it, whilst using it to clean your bathroom.
10) Marilyn Monroe is still very popular.
Don't you feel better informed about society now? Doesn't it make you proud of the human spirit? Me too...
