Made It, Loved It ....Or Not So Much

(Cream Cheese Chicken Chili & Jalapeno Cheddar Parmesan Cornbread 
that my hubby made me from recipes he's pinned--amazing stuff!!)

I don't know about you but having Pinterest to be my personal virtual bulletin board or filing system has greatly simplified my online life!  I love being able to put all of my favorite things all in one place rather than having a million links in my *favorites* folder.

Of course, every time I'm on Pinterest I find a bazillion yummy-looking recipes and they make me SO hungry-ha!  I have no less than a dozen food-centered boards.  There are more food-related pins among the other boards, but a total of 12 totally dedicated to recipes.  Yes, I like to cook and eat!

This week though I decided it was time to create a couple of new boards to keep track of the recipes I've found and tried on Pinterest.  So I now have a board titled *Made It & Loved It* and one called *Made It ...probably won't make it again*.  I must say that my *Made It & Loved It* board is significantly larger than the other one:)

I have seen a few other people who have similar boards and I find their pins and comments very helpful.  Sometimes those pictures live up to their good looks ...and sometimes they don't.  It's just reality, people.

So if you're interested in seeing what pins have turned out great for me, just follow those boards!  You can click the links above or you can click the *Follow Me on Pinterest* button to your right.

Do you Pinterest?  And have you tried a lot of the things you have pinned?

Comments

I haven't made a lot of the recipes I have pinned yet. But I have made a couple that were really good. I like your idea of organizing the pins you have tried that way.

I've tried a lot of recipes from pinterest and have a page for new recipes I want to try. The few I don't like I just delete my pin.

I make things from Pinterest ALL the time- it is where I go when I am bored with my recipes & want something new... If I don't like them, I delete them from my boards.

One nice thing about pinterest is I no longer have a messy pile of clipped recipes cluttering up the kitchen drawer--now I can clutter virtually.

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left

1st Day Back to {home}School, Among Other Things

We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done... And get the finishing touches done in the learning room, so I can blog it! In other news, it has been a bit of a traumatic week...pet-wise. Last weekend a sweet friend (who had asked my permission beforehand) brought the kiddos their very own little fish tank with two goldfish. Well, on Sunday we noticed that The Princess' fish was pretty lethargic...dead, actually. She was sad, but she handled it fairly well. And we went to the store that evening and let her pick out a new goldfish. Well, today during our school time~the fish tank is in our learning room~we noticed Mr. B's fish was acting funny. And then he was dead. It was a
