Category: Pin for the Wednesdays

Happy Wednesday!  I’ve got a great pin to share with you today.  One thing Pinterest has really inspired me to do is make more things with my kiddos.  I am not even SORT OF crafty, so this is a major stretch for me.  But thanks to Pinterest, I have found some simple crafts that I can do or even that my kids can do and I can just facilitate.  Both Joshua and Sophie are big Angry Birds fans, so one rainy Saturday recently, we went on a hunt for Angry Birds crafts on Pinterest.  And we found an easy, fun one that took no time at all, thanks to this pin from the Party Animal Blog!   If you click on the pin, it will take you to easy instructions to make Angry Birds balloons with a printable template.  Just print, have your kids cut them out, and then tape or glue them on.  This was SO easy!  The kids did all the cutting and I helped them tape.  Here’s how they turned out:

Adorable, right??  We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results, and nearly two weeks later, most of these are still floating around my living room.  This is a pin that was a HUGE win!  Love it!

Well hello there, Wednesday! It’s time to show off some pins!  I’m actually a little peeved at Pinterest these days because it’s making me think that I can do things that I don’t actually have the skills to do.  Hmm.  So my pin this week is a win-in-progress.  You see, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair.  Sort of.  I used to love it, or at least like it, when it was straight.  But after I quit breastfeeding Sophie three-and-a-half years ago, my hair got WAVY!  It’s totally weird, and I still don’t know what to do with it.  Also, it’s very thick and heavy and it takes me fifteen years to blow it out or flatiron it. Both of these processes usually leave me angry and sweaty, and generally I end up just letting my hair air dry.  Sooooooo, I decided to see if Pinterest had any tutorials that could show me some styles for my thick, wavy hair.

Pinterest has WAY TOO MANY ideas and tutorials for my wavy hair woes, many of which I could NEVER do.  But, I did find one pin with a whole bunch of tutorials and I’ve tried a few.  It’s this pin from the Small Things blog.  She has tons and tons of ideas and tutorials, some of which I’ve spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME on this week!  But I’ve gotten a few results I feel ok about!

I’ve had a few failures as well, but I am going to keep trying. I am tired of wearing my hair the same way every day. Who knows, maybe I’ll even get “good” at doing my hair. Doubtful, but you never know!  I want to have it looking super-swanky when Emily and I take Miami by storm in a couple of weeks.

Allright, I wanna see what you got!  What pins have you been working on that you’ve loved?  Link up below, or if you don’t have a blog, leave a comment.  Just pretty please follow our rules:
