2//How To . . .

"educate us on something you know a lot about or are good at"

I debated between a [semi] serious topic and a sarcastic [yet true!] post today. The "serious" topic was going to be "coping with your newborn being in the NICU for the first 28 days of his life." Since today is my baby's 1/2 birthday [how did that happen?!], I didn't want to be all serious. 

So, I am going to educate you on how to...

waste hours on Pinterest!

First of all, if you haven't heard of or jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon, I'll wait for you to crawl out from under the rock you've been living. Just kidding, I won't wait.

First of all, why waste hours on Pinterest? Why not?! It's addicting.

You get to pin all of the recipes you're not going to make for your family, the crafts you're going to put off conquer, and the exercises you're going to ... well, actually that brings me to my first piece of advice!

Unfollow all of those stupid boards your friends have about health, fitness, etc. That really cuts down on the fun of Pinterest. Who wants to look at that? I focus on food and baby related pins, personally. I guess someone out there may legitimately enjoy health/fitness topics. Bah!

Next, take advantage of tabs to maximize your viewing capabilities.

See all of those tabs across the top there? Those are all pins I want to look at to see if they're pin-worthy. If you're unfamiliar with the tab concept, right click on the thing you want to open in a new tab and click "Open Link in New Tab."

It's all about maximizing the hours you're wasting on Pinterest, after all, right?!

Did you learn something? ;)
