Introduction

Pinterest. I am fascinated by it. I am fascinated by the good ideas. I am fascinated by what people choose to pin.  I am fascinated to know if anyone actually does what they think they want to do.  I am fascinated by food porn, sewing porn, craft porn, and kid-activity porn.

Most pinterest photos that I come across come from bloggers, typically women, who have time on their hands, LOVE being a mom, and a good doting wife, often love Jesus, and have a damn high quality camera lying around. They buy beautiful fabrics, high quality ingredients, and seem to be able to "do" it all.

I am a working mom, currently on modified bed rest, who enjoys being a mom, although often wants to pull her hair out, am a pretty good wife, when I am not making ridiculous demands and watching hours of The Office, and I have a phone and an ipad for my camera.  I love coupons and refuse to spend lots of money on things.


And so, I decided to actually do/make/sew/cook the things that I pin.

And, I decided to post my photos next to the pinterest photos, and see what pinterest looks like in the hands of a real person.

Oh, here is my pinterest: http://pinterest.com/hmrjmrmom/
