Wednesday night about midnight I was shopping online. I came across the sign below, It Is What It Is. I loved it - so I pinned it. I say this all the time, and b o n u s it drives my sister crazy! CRAZY!
I realized this sign was popular when over 2500 pinned or liked it in less than 24 hours. The comments were in either one of two groups - the "I hate this saying, It's a cop out" or "I say this all the time" group.
My sister and I - who come from the same parents, raise in the same house,and have experienced many of the same things in life - completely differ on this saying. We will call the side that agrees with the saying TEAM JENNIFER and the side that COMPLETELY disagrees with it TEAM JULIE. We shall hash it out, family style!

Pinning with a Purpose
I JUST recently got on Pinterest. HOLY COW . . . I am hooked! My sister is THE person to blame. I asked her to "invite" me (really, why do you need an invite?!?!) so as every good younger sister should do, she did. You might say that was the beginning of this crazy idea.
DISCLAIMER - Julie did tell me "you don't need to get of there and waste anymore of your time, you are already on the computer all day." Thank you, younger sister, in a sarcastic tone : \
HOURS flew by and I had so many ideas and so not the energy to do them! I started my picking the day after Christmas, WHO has energy the day after Christmas with 2 young children, three family holiday parties and so many meals to prepare all in 36 hours! But I was up and at the computer picking away!
In just days I had 34 Boards, 1397 Pins and 3 Likes I cannot get rid of. Time wasted . . . I think not! Take THAT Julie!
I have thought and thought about ALL the information available on Pinterest. I want a practical application for the pins I chose; I cannot do 100+ crafts or make my family eat all those meats, breads, or sweets. I can however, affect some sort of change using my pins, maybe do some good. I am going to post a sign/words to live by/funny sayings everyday on Facebook. I am going to take the advice given in the "sign" and blog about how it made a difference for me . . . in me.
Hope you follow along and maybe get something out of it too!
Happy Pinning!
