I don't know about you, but my
Pinterest Boards are chuck full of Martha Stewart-style perfection! I have pinned soooooooo many great ideas in the last few years...or have I??
Every once in a while, I actually get the notion...and time {ahem!}...to try one of the fabulous-looking recipes, homeschool studies, crafts, and DIY projects that I've cataloged on my boards. Now, I haven't necessarily been keepin' tabs, but I'm guessing that many of my outcomes haven't always been as picture perfect (or as edible) as the originals.
In fact, I can recall one breakfast cookie recipe disaster that went something like this...
I pulled the steaming cookies from the oven, called the Hubs over to sample the first bite, and watched as he immediately ran to the trash can to spit it out. Then, with complete sincerity he asked, "Is this some kind of practical joke? Is that really our breakfast?"
Maybe it's just me? Maybe I'm the only Mother Inferior on Pinterest who can't seem to follow the directions correctly.
But, I'd like to assume that if I've had more than my share of Pinterest disappointments, I'm not the only one.
I've teamed up with some of the lovely ladies of
iHomeschool Network to bring you a once-a-month link-up of some of our Pinterest FLIPS and FLOPS. If you're a blogger, we invite you to try one of the projects that has been collecting dust on your Pinterest boards. Blog about your success or failure...whichever the case may be. And, link up to get the word out to other mommas about whether a project was a "two thumbs WAY UP" hit or was a "doesn't work in real life" disaster.
