P.R.B.B. (Pinterest Recipe board binge)

P.R.B.B. 
Pinterest Recipe board binge

My husband asked me randomly "What percentage of the recipes you have pinned on your recipe board have you actually made?"  I guessed 30%.  He thought it was more 3%.  

I'm sure most of you are like me and pin away and sometimes don't get to doing most of the things you have pinned.  I have made quite a few recipes and have even done of the cleaning tips.  One day, I hope to do the fun crafts on there too!

But starting last week I have decided to make at least but not limited to 1 recipe a week from my board. I'm also going to break up my boards into "Need to try", "Pinterest Fail" (Already have one of these) and "Recipes going in the books".

Now I have actually calculated how many I have made on my recipes board.  
I have 351 pins.  I have made 81.
That's 23%.  In your face husband! =)

Well I noticed while doing this that I have A LOT of desserts and drinks.  Also, a lot of pins that are websites to multiple recipes.  So I have a lot more to make than I think.

Last week I took on This Watermelon Bliss Dessert

This is what it is supposed to look like
Here is mine

I guess it wasn't technically a fail, but... it definitely wasn't a win

Of course it tasted good.  It's ice cream that is already made!

Probably won't make again. But if you decide to.  Get more than the pint recommended.  Also, they don't make just pistachio ice cream. So I got spumoni, scooped out the pistachio and added vanilla to it to get the amount I needed. Also, do it in a deep bowl!

Want to join me and checking things off of your pinterest to do list?

    I have a "nailed it" board that I add my crafts too that worked really well and will do again. The things that just fail terribly I just delete. no point keeping them.

Jackson is... 2???

Image
How did that happen?! 2 years ago today we got to finally go home after his open heart surgery after being born, which you can read about  RIGHT HERE What a fun little man we have on our hands.  He runs around all day.  Loves anything to do with balls, cars, and trains.  Typical boy.  He talks in full sentences, sleeps in a big boy bed, and we will soon start potty training! He also sings songs the ABCs and many songs he has learned at church.  So cute to listen. Thank you Lucie for the adorable pictures!   For his birthday I really wanted to do something low key and not too much work.  Of course that doesn't apply to the cake, the most fun part! We took what Jackson loved and made a party out of it. A ball party.  We had it in our backyard, invited a few of his friends (also my nieces and nephew were in town!) and played with big and small balls, all sports balls, and bubbles (ball shaped). Now for the cake.  SO MUCH FUN! It took a c

Metopic Craniosynostosis

Updated Pictures of my handsome 4 year old! The most noticeable part is the scars is above his ears on either side. This spreading of the scar doesn't always happen but he seemed to have a lot of swelling after surgery in this area which stretched out the scars. The scares are most noticeable after a hair cut (which is during this). You can kind of see in this picture his squiggle scar that goes across his head from ear to ear. It's not super noticeable. I often get asked about Jackson's scar on his head.  Although his hair has grown A LOT since his surgery, it is still pretty obvious I think.  People are so funny about it though.  We usually get double takes or triple takes and only some people are bold enough to ask. WHICH IS FINE!  I don't know why people are so scared to ask.  Maybe because they think they will offend me? I don't know.  But some do ask and I reply he had Metopic Craniosynostosis. Metopic cranio whata wha? Short Answer: He

Baby Girls Nursery Reveal

Image
After having two boys, and putting together two different BOY nurseries, I was so excited to go in a completely different direction this time around.  Yes, dinos, cars, and animals are cute, but girly pink and flowers are much more fun to craft together.  This nursery turned out better than I thought it would and it is all DIY! And if I did it, so can you! Thank you PINTEREST! Lets start with the walls.  Where the white is, there used to be green with a small white stripe.  Originally, we were just going to paint it and leave it white. BUT, after doing that I HATED it! Luckily, I gained some inspiration from the bedding and found  these vinyl triangles   on Etsy.  They were a great price and we were very pleased with them.  Especially because they came with more than the 100 it said it would. The laser level came in handy when hanging these. The bedding I couldn't find bedding that I really liked anywhere.  Again, I turned to Etsy but then realized
