Pinter-post... again

By -
I log into Pinterest probably once a month... if even that. Its fun for a few minutes, but I'm telling you, I still don't understand that website. Is it really just a place for us to go get ideas? Either way, I'm using it to laugh at funny sayings and go "oh, neat! What a great idea" and then move on.
So here's a few of my July picks....

This is something I will try and replicate. It fits our home quite well. 

If we had a closet to dedicate to laundry baskets... I would do this. 


ha! I love it. Read, repeat and repeat again. All day long.
why do all the good quotes have to be anonymous?! 


okay, this I might just find space for. 


Its true. 


such a sweet & simple idea! 
it was her something blue :)

yes, it surely is. 


if our new home had stairs, I would try so hard to get 
this feature added. But I am thankful for a 1 story... 

I'm not gonna wait for a holiday to do this one. 
This will be suitable for any day. 

before you go thinking this is one fancy dresser from a super pricey store... 
this is a regular dresser with IKEA spice racks on the sides!! 


the end.

I love the dresser idea! If I had more money to redecorate around here, I think I would be way more into Pinterest. I think it is a great way of collecting ideas! Kind of the modern-day magazine clipping. :)

These ARE great ideas!! So far I've found it to be a good source of inspirition for us- especially if I have an idea (like what to do with our pantry) and I have a hard time getting that across to William. We've looked at the pictures together to get a base idea of what to do with ours. Also for color schemes for rooms, etc or upcycling ideas. But really do the majority of users take it to the next level and actually do something about these ideas?! Probably not...

Well said. I think you both described what I was kind of thinking, but couldn't wrap my mind around.
Clipping from magazines was never my thing (and you all know how creative I am - haha) so maybe that's why.
You can find some pretty cool ideas, that's for sure! We plan on using the spice rack on the dresser idea.

I am so not into decorating, but I love the craft ideas and recipes I see on there. And the sayings make it worth it too. (I am off to repin a couple of your sayings!)

I love the stairs storage area...under our stairs is a closet where we keep art supplies and books. The only problem is it opens into the garage...

Love the stairs. I think I'd do that if I had stairs. The dresser was a great idea as well.

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
