Dear Pinterest: I need folders

Let me just start with saying I don't understand couponing. We don't coupon. I've tried. For several weeks I bought newspapers, but I just never found enough coupons of things I actually bought or needed. Maybe someone can explain this whole couponing thing to me.

I have however managed to save plenty of money each week just by planning dinner menus and going to the store with a list. That and going alone (sorry Brian).  I am telling you, this alone has probably cut our grocery bill in half.

I don't mind cooking at all, I just hate coming up with ideas of what to make.  Pinterest has helped me change up our meals a bit. And Brian has gotten much better at letting me experiment on him.
My one complaint is looking through my food board on Pinterest and its so unorganized. Yes I could just make several new boards (drinks, soups, salads, dinners, appetizers...) but I'd really just like to see folders inside the board to organize it.


Somedays I much prefer to look at other blogs, which have their recipes organized.

The Girl who Ate Everything

I am really enjoying this blog, like pinterest, there are pictures to show you what the recipe is.

 

 

Sweet Tooth Sweet Life

This blog has a lot of great recipes we have tried out, but you need to click the links to get to her pictures.

So PLEASE Pinterest, can I have folders to help organize my boards?

If anyone has any great recipes or tricks you would like to share for cutting costs on your grocery bills, Please share away!

Finding Inspiration

Today's the day.  We are finding out what variety of baby this little one is. 

So I have been pinning away for months now.  And one thing I think we will find obvious is my color choices.  Probably doesn't matter what the gender is- looks like the main color for this baby's room with be grey, just need to decide on the accent colors.

I also know I plan to make the bedding this time.  WOW, so much of me has changed in the last 3 years.  I would have never imagined making Liam's bedding when I was pregnant with him.

Pin-Addict

Do you Pinterest?  Its really an unhealthy obsession of mine.  I blame the iPhone.  Whenever I have some random time I pull out the phone and start looking at photos.

I got Woman {my mom} hooked on Pinterest.  Mary {Sister in law} doesn't get the point.  But I get ideas of cooking off Pinterest.  I get crafting ideas.  I laugh!

Here are some of my favorite pins from this week.

Have you seen these seats at Target?  I would love to tie one up to a tree for a new swing for Liam.  Apparently some company did just that!
