There is a playdough cake on the little red table. Homemade puppets on the counter. A pretend store that threatens to take over the living room.
The girls have played, fought, and played some more. They've watched some Netflix. They spent way longer than I expected exploring these super cool geo boards. They had a friend over for the afternoon and played in the kiddie pool and blew bubbles in the backyard. They snacked on frozen yogurt tubes and used the yogurt to decorate their faces and bodies when I wasn't looking.
The house is a mess and I am exhausted.
I love summer. Really. I do. But sometimes the days seem very long.
And on these days I am so thankful for Pinterest. So thankful to have access to many, many fun ideas to explore with my kids. All in a simple, visual format that appeals to me.
I'm calling this the summer of Pinterest.
We've made bubble wands. Melted beads into suncatchers. Dropped dyed vinegar onto baking soda to watch colorful fizzies (is it art? is it science?). All inspired by ideas found on Pinterest.
And we plan to keep on going.
I'm counting on Pinterest to get me through the summer sane.
How about you? Do you use Pinterest for ideas? What do you do to enjoy the summer and keep you and your family happy?
