Pinterest has my Interest

It’s safe to say that I spend a ridiculous amount of time online. As I joked recently, if my digital footprint were an actual shoe, I’d be shopping with Kobe Bryant.

Recently I have been turned on to a site called Pinterest.
(This is not paid, they don’t know who I am past my profile that I created, WebSavvyMom.com.)

It’s a wonderful arena where like-minded individuals you may follow on Twitter or are friends with on Facebook post things of interest to them. However, for me, it opens up so many virtual doors to things I may not have otherwise found by surfing the internet.

You can create pages to group similar items for your own reference but Pinterest friends can follow them or repin to their friends.

I have created an account and when I open up Pinterest, here is what I see initially. You can use your Twitter or Facebook logins to avoid having to remember yet another password.



The site is showing a variety of recently pinned items.

You can narrow it down by category. I selected Crafts and DIY.


I haven’t been on this time wasting website long but I have created a few boards of similar things.



I’ve already purchased Dr. Suess’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” with the idea to have Troy’s teachers secretly autograph it, leave a story about him or provide words of wisdom each year until he graduates from high school after seeing the idea pinned on this site.

I try to remember as I’m browsing through other websites is to pin items that I find interesting for others to find. I did it recently with the photos from the very talented Julie Dreelin. Someone has since repinned the untraditional engagement photos that I liked so much.

Happy Pinning….and repinning.
