Apologies to those of you who follow my boards on Pinterest; you may have noticed I've been a pinning fool lately, clogging your feeds with all things seaside and colorful. After a three month hiatus from the site (can I really afford another time-sucker?), I found myself back there again pinning like it was my job.
While Pinterest can be an invaluable source of information and creative inspiration, it can also be an endless trap for the "I Wants"...something I already struggle with and an area I certainly don't need any assistance. The sea of magazine-worthy images of beautiful homes and decor has me mentally decorating a home we do not have. As with all things in excess, too much of a good thing can make you feel pretty crummy, so I'm treading carefully in the Pinterest waters.
And I smiled when I found (and then repinned) this:
Apropos, no?
On a more random note, I've been a little MIA from blogging not for lack of desire, but simply because life has been busy! We're gearing up for an even crazier March but I'm hoping to be a little better at managing my time so that I can actually spend more time writing...something I've missed terribly this month. I've got lots of updates brewing that I can't wait to share!
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead! :)
I am a pinterest crazy lady too! I also had a few month hiatus after initially signing up and having to clue what I was doing haha... but I am in love with it now, and love turning my friends on to it :)
ReplyDeleteI am not on pinterest but I know what you mean - I really want my brain to be able to tell the difference between wants and needs. I really don't NEED much. I just want to be able to see it. :)
ReplyDeletethank the lord for pinterest (esp since we are buying a house hehe)
ReplyDeleteSo appropriate! Pinterest can get kind of overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteI've actually been liking all the hue pins you've done, and pretty sure I've repinned some. haha
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to having you 'around' blogging more and hope March doesn't suck you dry. :) ..not that it would. haha

I feel the same way about pinterest....but sometimes you find words of wisdom that bring perspective or peace...so it's not all bad :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I follow you on Pinterest?? Do you have a link somewhere? Mine is: http://pinterest.com/creativegator/ if you'd like to see my boards.
ReplyDeleteI try not to get on pinterest too much for fear of getting too wrapped up in it. I can barely stay on top of blog reading!
ReplyDeletehaha i think pinning is become an official disease in the blogging world. i hope theres a committee for this epidemic.
