I love Fridays, even though I work retail and there isn’t really a concept of weekends Fridays are still my favorite! This morning I woke up to the sound of pouring rain and hail, yes hail. In Southern California. Global Warming at it’s finest. Due to the cold weather I really didn’t want to get out of bed but the thought of warm pancakes encouraged me a little. Thanks to my awesome thinking self yesterday, breakfast came together in a flash because of some frozen pancakes and the microwave. Yay! My cup of coffee was extra awesome today thanks to my new caramel macchiato creamer I picked up at tarjay last night! 🙂 Win.

I’m going to assume everyone knows what Pinterest is unless you live under a rock you are way to busy to spend time perusing the web. Anyway, as I was pinning my life away last night I was thinking about all the things I pin; food, weddings, baked goods, crafts, and cat pictures and I realized I don’t actually do anything I pin. And it got me thinking, I spend all this time pinning things and they are things I’d either eat or do so why not actually put the recipes to use in real life. and then lightbulb I decided to give myself a little Pinterest challenge, and then I thought Hey! I wonder if my blends would like to get in on this challenge. Soo I propose to you, a pinterest challenge. Yay or nay? I’m thinking the “rules” are from February 9 (Tomorrow) to March 9 (that would be one month) you should challenge yourself to making 5 recipes or doing 5 workouts you pinned on Pinterest. On March 10 we can all link up and do a re-cap. What do you say? You in? (Please feel free to share this challenge with your readers as I think it would be super super fun for everyone.)
Some recipes I’m interested in trying are:
Creamy Tortellini Soup
Turkey and Feta Stuffed Peppers
Reader Questions:
- Are you up for the Pinterest Challenge?
- What is something you want to make?
i wish I would actually try the things I pin, I am so bad at just pinning but not trying anything
Same here! I’m hoping doing this will make me want to try more and more I pin!
ooh, I love this idea!! now to start digging through my pinterest to pick my 5…
Yay! I’m glad you like it! I’m facing the same dilemma, I’m excited to see what everyone picks though!
I just (finally) updated mine! I tried to mix in some of everything, but we’ll see what I end up actually doing! 😉
Can’t wait to see what you do!
This all looks so good! I always see recipes and want to make them. Actually making them, now that’s a different story. But these look amazing.
Same here girl, same here! I’m hoping they taste as good as they look!
Those recipes look amazing!
Isn’t it great how creamer can completely make a coffee? 🙂
Really though! I love flavored coffee creamer, it’s amazing!
Yes! I want to do that. I literally have thousands of pins, and I have probably only actually made or done about 5 things.
Yay! I’m glad you like the idea! I feel the same way, I need to actually make the things I pin!
I’ve fallen off the Pinterest wagon as of late. I used to pin all the time, but then I just stopped. I have no idea why, lol. Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! Stay safe with that storm!
I’m a pin-aholic. It’s a problem. Good thing since you have a big storm to survive in, there’s plenty of time to do some more pinning 😉
haha I definitely pin my life away 😉
I think I am in the minority becuase I actually do recreate most of what I pin. It’s my fall back “what should I eat tonight” or “what should I do at the gym?”. It’s a lazy girls dream site 🙂
Kudos to you! I wish I had that motivation! 🙂
Fridays are still my favorite too!
Kelsey, I’m going to try my best with the Pinterest challenge you created! I’m in! 🙂
One of the things I would like to make is an on the go breakfast smoothie.
Yay! I’m excited!! I’ve seen that one, I might try it too!
