The things I try don’t always work.

I’ve seen and tried a lot of great stuff on Pinterest. Food, crafts, all sorts of fun. But sometimes, there’s stuff on there that isn’t true or doesn’t work.

I saw a pin once about putting a wooden spoon over your pot to prevent it from boiling over. And then I had scorched water all over my burners.

Over the winter break, Emma got an ipod with those fancy new Apple ear buds. And as luck would have it, I had just discovered a pin about being able to STICK the ear bud in a nostril and making your MOUTH the speaker. Emma, as usual, was game but partly embarrassed, as tweens so often are.

So, as you can see – they aren’t all winners. But if at first you don’t succeed . . .

PS – There is an awesome and HILARIOUS blog Pintester.com that tests out tons of Pinterest pins and sometimes nails it but most often doesn’t. I love it.
