Pinterest

Believe it or not, this is not a post about Halle...Probably a first since she was born!

I can't remember who introduced me to "Pinterest" (An online pinboard to organize and share things you love) but when they first started talking about it, I was completely confused. But, I'm not any more and have been spending WAY too much time on this site. It is addicting to look at what other people have pinned. If you have no clue what it is...it is basically a place to store all of your bookmarks. I think you have to get an invite to join so if you want one, just let me know.

Anyways, I have been making some of the new things that I have found on there and have really enjoyed the new recipes that I have tried...here are the links to the ones I have tried and some pictures to go along with some of them. Halle apparently likes that I am baking more (see the picture below) but I am having to hide my goodies from myself which, I found out a couple of days ago, is hard thing to do. I hid some cookies in a plastic container in the oven and then forgot about them and preheated the oven. Oops! It smelled like a hot glue gun in our house for hours, especially while the self clean was going... learned my lesson on that one. Brandon also pointed out that we have cupboards for a reason! ;)
