Why Pinterest?


After finishing graduate school in December 2011, I moved from Arlington, Virginia to Madison, Wisconsin to live with my long-term boy friend who had recently relocated for work.

I knew that moving to Wisconsin in the dead of winter would be an adjustment.  After working non-stop throughout my 20’s, what would I do with all this free time?  Enter Pinterest.   

Even though I had known about this popular online pin-board for several months, I should stay away if I ever wanted to finish my Masters degree.  It took every ounce of will-power to not give into temptation to design my future home, plan delicious meals and search for tips to be a domestic goddess.  

Since the big move, I have not only pinned projects, I have completed them.  Some were easier than others.  I hope you find my successes and failures as amusing as I do.
