Being a new "pinner" has made me realize how so NOT domestic I am.
As I pin things like "Oven Baked Zuchinni Chips" and "Buffalo Chicken Tacos" in my kitchen folder, my brain is saying "Pssshhhhh.......right"
But I started to think? What if I was a domestic darling....
I imagine I'd start the day with some coffee and breakfast. But not just any breakfast
I'd click on my Fashion board to pick out a daily outfit
Throw my hair in a fun little do
Maybe a little cat eye action
Then I'd wake up the munchie and dress her in this sassy little number I whipped up the night before
And of course top her off with one of these:
I'd give myself a chic little manicure
while my after-dinner trifle settled
We'd spend the afternoon blogging (duh), monogramming onesies
and getting inspired for a killer workout
Then we'd spend the rest of our day playing in our Pinterest-inspired nursery
While our Pioneer Woman lasagna
and roasted root veggies dinner filled the house with glorious smells.
The End.
Dang -Market penetration and retention has never sounded so unsexy
One can dream right?
HAPPY MONDAY!

Pinterest does have a way of motivating me....and then slapping me back down to reality. Maybe Ill start small with just a few recipes and see how I do.
I'm happy to report that I've cooked loads of dinners that I've pinned. Now if I can start working on the hair tutorials I'll be all set :)
Hahaha this post is so great. I think like this regularly, and know that it will unfortunately never happen. I am majorly lacking in the domesticated area :/ lol
I love that you're so undomestic. ;) At least I have something that I can teach you, since you have to teach me style, etc.
This...I love. And so me. : )
i'm sure there are so many domestic women dying to be YOU right now!!
but i'm with you, sometimes i wish i had little ones and could spend my day loving on them and the ol' house-a-roonie.
you and me both, girl. you and me both.
Ha, you are hilarious. If only there were enough hours in the day!
I used to be undomestic (prob still kind of am-haha). With the help of Pinterest, I have home decor ideas, crafts idea, not to mention hair and makeup. Plus, recipes to cook from. I usually skinny taste, since they are all healthy options. I'm actually cooking now!
I'm going to take full credit for your new found obsession with Pinterest! You're welcome!
hahaha I'm the same way! I keep thinking that one day if I ever get to stay home when I'm married I will totally be a domestic goddess....no thanks to Pinterest. hahaha but until then, us working girls will have to make do with health bars for breakfast and quick and easy dinners...or takeout. :)
haha. love this. love that you are on pinterest now! :)
I get a kick out of people who pin things like $1 million bathrooms and tag it "For the Home".
I'm not friends with anyone who can afford a million dollar bathroom. And if I'm wrong, why the heck aren't these friends hooking me up with dough!!??
i love this! just add on a "perfect" hottie husband in to the mix to clean up all the messes made from during the day! hahaha
Love this. I looked at my Style board the other thinking...I just need to buy clothes that are similar to this. Then I'd have a rockin closet!
OMG! What a life, right? This made me smile...great story! I blame all our visions of bliss on Disney and their princesses!! ;) So glad I cam across your blog!
Because Shanna Said So
Haha- too funny! As much as I love my job, I'm always thinking... wow, I'd love to just stay at home in our "perfect" home and make "perfect babies" and cook "perfect" meals all day long.
NOT.REAL.LIFE.... Pinterest is mean and deceiving ;)
you said penetration. haha
Ugh pinterest is a constant remind of how un-creative and un-fit I am....yet I love it.
You can totally be domestic! Someimes I even pretend to be domestic. Its kind of fun:)
haha love this post! I think the same thing sometimes when I pin things..like ya right, I'm never gonna make that ha.
You Can totally make stuff from Pinterest! I never thought myself to be crafty, creative, a cook or anything...but I've been chuggin' along with the pinterest projects...I'll just come and teach you how to cook, I've always wanted to visit ATL ;-) haha
Haha love this! I'm definitely addicted to pinterest as well! And definitely pins things that I'm not capable of making/doing too! No worries!
hahah we are SO alike in this sense
i find myself sometimes wishing i had babies and not a corporate america job so i could bake and craft and dress my kids in cute clothes thanks to pinterest
i still need to find you on pinterest i think!!!
xoxox
you are so cute... you'll get there one day!! the grass always seems greener on the other side :-)
HAHA. Love this! I am really good at trying and sometimes failing recipes from Pinterest but I have yet to do anything DIY or outfit inspired. Maybe one day hahaa.
Ps. That girl in the Pink Maxi. I pinned that too and she had posted that you could find the skirt at Old Navy for $25. So I ran around and searched 3 diff Old Navy's for it, found it, and it looked horrible on me. Fail hahah.
I have pinned multiple projects, recipes, outfits, DIY's and other things...and never done a SINGLE one. Haha! Maybe I should try one. I did pin something about using an empty tic-tac container as a bobbi-pin holder...easy enough. I'll try it today!

HAHAHA this totally cracked me up. It's so true! If only we were all just as domesticated as Pinterest! It's so addicting and really let's a girl dream :)
hahaha this is amazing.
while i do seriously love pinterest, sometimes it can make you feel like you suck at being productive. : ) however, i have cooked more things because of it - they just never look like the pictures!
Love this!!
I have actually made a few of the dishes and desserts I've pinned. And I'm always using the style boards I have as inspiration when getting ready.

Pinterest has so many inspiring and motivating things. If only I could get off my computer and go do them! :)
hahaha, I love this!
Pinterest is so addicting! I wish I could make all of the recipes and especially have all of the amazing outfits i pin!
Haha!! So cute. Doesn't it just make you feel like everyone except you has their lives perfectly tied up into little white bakery boxes with twine? I feel like a sad brown paper sack sometimes looking at all the pretty on there. Oh well...doesn't stop me from trying to pretend too!! I'm so much cooler on Pinterest.
I'm with you on this one, pinterest is so addicting, but also dangerous! It often makes throwing away my career woman lifestyle for a life of domesticity seem appetizing!
But, even if we do have time consuming jobs, we can still incorporate a little pinterest into our lives, can't we?? :)

Oh Pinterest...thank you for stealing all my time from Facebook and Blogging and other real life activities so I can dream about clothes I don't own, places I haven't visited and crafts I can't make...
LOL I am addicted too...damn pinterest! lol

i just laugh at the recipes.. because they look delicious but i would probably never make them even though i love to cook.
and you left off watching project runway for fashion advice!! ;)
Ash- I went to click where your pictures on pinterest came from and they weren't linked I don't think I follow you on there--can I ask where the nails picture came from? love that would love to know if it has a "linked" trail to see where it came from! :)
Never mind lol a few PInterest searches and I found the site where the nails came from! Sorry to bug ya!
