Pinning Pretties

I loved <a href="http://mrsblandings.blogspot.com/2014/01/inspiration.html">this post</a> yesterday on <a href="http://mrsblandings.blogspot.com/2014/01/inspiration.html">Mrs. Blandings</a>, where she described Pinterest as this wonderful "<a href="http://mrsblandings.blogspot.com/2014/01/inspiration.html">sort of meditation</a>."  I ebb and flow with <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/">Pinterest</a>, but I've been back at it lately.  I really want to go through and clean up my boards (but I should probably clean my house first after I pin something to tell me how).  I've long since given up on DIY/things to do with your toddler/do this workout everyday pins.  I never do any of it.  Instead, I tend to focus on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/sparkle/">pretty things</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/faves/">pretty rooms</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/words/">pretty words</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/tummy-love/">pretty yummy things</a> to fill my tummy. <br /><br />Here's some <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jhadley32/pins/">pretty rooms I've pinned lately</a>.  I see a bit of a pattern. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Designery Things I Like

I know, it's a great title.  Unfortunately, no one won my toddler giveaway.  Edward gave me a big hug yesterday and that's pretty much enough to melt my heart so I decided to keep him.  But I am working with about half of my brain now.  Occupational hazard, I guess.  (I jest because I spend most hours of my day trying to snuggle the little man and usually can't bear to be away from him for more than an hour or two.  I actually like him quite a lot)<br /><br />Anyway, I've been trying to reorganize my <a href="http://pinterest.com/jhadley32/">Pinterest Boards</a>.  I find myself drawn to certain elements over and over so I thought I'd try organizing some of my inspiration images by elements rather than by room. <br /><br />And now I'm going to share them with y'all!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">* <a href="http://pinterest.com/jhadley32/blue-white/">Blue and White</a> *</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
