Proof Pinterest can be helpful as well as addictive!

     So I'm sure by now, you've heard of Pinterest...although, if you have, I'm not convinced you'll be reading this post since you will have been sucked into the vortex that is Pinterest. This site is wonderful and helpful and a serious problem! I get on Pinterest and I can't seem to do anything else for hours!  One day I stumbled across this interesting idea: A Year-Long Menu binder! It sounded crazy! It sounded impossible! So, naturally, I wanted to try it.  I checked out the blog and jumped right in. It has been the BEST decision I've made all year (so far)!  I mean, think about it! How many times has 4:00 rolled around and someone asks that inevitable question: What's for dinner? Then you decide that by the time you find a recipe, get all the ingredients from the store and get everything made, it's just too late. So what do you do? You eat out. I was getting so tired of doing that. As my parents used to say, "You begin to think it's a right, not a priviledge." Eating fast food is all right every now and then. I LOVE french fries! But all the time? Not so much.  So to MacKenzie of Bold Turqoise, I say thank you! I have saved so much time, so much energy and so much money already! And that's ALWAYS a good thing!  If you want to make a binder of your own, here is the link to her brilliant blog: Bold Turquoise's Menu Binder
