Project 8 | Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake | 357 days to go

It seems as though I have just been cooking a lot with my Pinterest projects, but I'm in a huge food rut, so it has been sooooo helpful to have all of these recipes on hand. I really enjoy cooking, but I am not the best at magically whipping up something fantastic. I am definitely a recipe person. Now I did tweek this recipe a tiny bit, I added a little more basil and I also added some salami because this was dinner, not a side. I also thought about adding chicken and some rice too. Maybe next time. But, another recipe in the books, this was a yummy success!

Project 7 | Granola cookies w/ dried cranberries + mangos | 358 days to go

I saw these cookies, and the photo made them look delicious. Even though it said "no butter, no flour no sugar, no eggs." Basically, nothing that makes a cookie good. But I decided, since I'm trying to eat better, I would give them a shot because, I mean come on, it's a cookie. So, today was the day, and I am so glad I made them. They were definitely scrumptious, and I'm having a really hard time not eating all of them.

Project 6 | Winner winner chicken dinner | 359 days to go

Okay this dinner...way easy and way awesome. I made a change to the way you're supposed to do it. It is actually a slow cooker recipe, but when I decided to make it I had a fraction of the time needed. So, instead of making it in the crock pot I did it in a big pot on the stove and used drained canned chicken instead of raw chicken. But I imagine the end result is the same. Super yummy. Try it, you'll like it. Even Noah sort of liked it.

Project 5 | Herringbone Stitch | 360 days to go

Alright, I'm back from Vegas and I'm starting the blog again. Sorry, if you missed me. I went to Vegas for a photography convention and there was NO WAY I was going to even attempt to keep the blog going while I was there. So, I am still recovering, this was my first trip to Vegas, and I am still exhausted. But, I got back on my Pinterest horse yesterday and started working on a new knitting stitch. If you are interested in learning how to do it, go here. I am absolutely in love with it, and I plan to make the cowl from the site, but this is just practice. So, whenever I find the yarn and get it made I'll make sure to post it. Here it is....

Project 4 | Knit Owl | 361 days to go

I found this cutie and there was NO WAY I couldn't make him. I started knitting a little over a year ago, and as soon as I got the hang of it I was hooked. I knit every day. EVERY day. If I don't I get upset. No joke. So, I'm sure there will be many more knit projects on here. Enjoy Mr. Owlie!

project 3 | Creamy Avocado Pasta | 362 days to go

Made this for dinner last night...delish. And no, it doesn't taste like guacamole on pasta. The basil helps that out. I also added some chopped up chicken to mine as well. It is super easy and super tasty. The only thing you have to cook is pasta. Yay for easy dinners! Here's the recipe if you want to give it a go. If you like avocado and you like basil I think you'll be quite pleased. :)

Project 2 | Melted Crayon Art | 363 days to go

Okay, this was phenomenal. When I first saw this, I was so excited and this was probably the project I was most excited about. And now I can see that I am going to get hooked on this and spend a small fortune in crayons. I've already looked into buying in bulk. You think I'm kidding, but no, I'm not. I know that you can order custom boxes of crayons from Crayola. I know that I can get a crate of 3000 crayons for about $60. The only reason I haven't ordered them yet is there is no orange in there. That and they aren't Crayola and I've read some bad things about cheaper crayons. Yes, see, I'm becoming obsessed. I'm READING about MELTED CRAYON ART on other blogs. If you want to learn how to do this, go here. But I warn you, you will love it and you will not be able to stop. Enjoy!

Project 1 | Glow Stick Bathtime Fun | 364 days to go

Okay, so here is project number one. Noah was super excited to do this, and it was an easy way to break into the many many projects I've found that I wanted to do. Super easy, yet very exciting to a kid. And it was pretty exciting for an adult too... :) All you need is some glow sticks, a bath tub and no lights. Easy peasy. So...enjoy! See you tomorrow!

What this crazy idea is all about

So I fell into the Pinterest vortex about 2 weeks ago and I am fell deep into the rabbit hole, with no end in sight. So, I figured, while I'm down here, let's not waste my time. That's where this little idea came from. I could easily see myself pinning anything and everything, but never actually doing anything about it. And what do you do to hold yourself accountable for crazy ideas? You start a blog. And then it's real, and hopefully, others will see it and make sure you stay on task. Ever heard of Julie and Julia? 

This is my plan. Every day I will do something, anything, that I have pinned on Pinterest. This isn't to say that I will finish the project that day, but I will be doing something. And if the project isn't finished, I will post about where I am with it. I will also be photographing my ventures and posting them along the way.

 I have no idea if anyone will find this the slightest bit interesting, but I don't care. I do. And I'm also afraid I can't finish it, so I want to make sure that I do.

So here's to Pinterest, projects and hopefully a little fun along the way. Oh yeah, and feel free to follow me on Pinterest! ;)
