Clever Ideas to Make Life Easier
As many of you know, I’ve been a huge fan of Pinterest for quite some time. My family would probably say I’m a bit addicted to it, but hey, we all need our vices. Right?
Lately though I’ve been having a love/hate relationship. I still love Pinterest, I still spend way too much time pinning, but something happened to their site and all of my followers were deleted. I know, that’s such a silly thing that I shouldn’t care about, but I can’t help myself. It makes me a little sad. Someone please tell me – why do we care about things like that?
Getting back to the love part of Pinterest… I have a board called Clever Ideas, and I want to share some of my favorite ideas that I’ve pinned.

Wrap a rubber band around your paint can and wipe your brush on the rubber band instead of the side of the can. It keeps the side of your paint can clean. Brilliant! On Pinterest from Martha Stewart

Calendar Through the Years |

This is such a cute idea. It’s a daily calendar that can be reused each year and gets better the longer you use it. Each day you write the year and something that happened that day like, “(Child’s name) took her first steps.” I imagine the first year wouldn’t be as fun, but imagine how neat it would be in 10 years.
