Do you
Pinterest? I'm totally addicted. You can follow me
here if you are interested.
One thing I'm always curious about is whether people do the things they've pinned and how they turned out. So I thought I'd start doing some posts on the things I've done because of Pinterest and how they turned out. Hopefully you all will find this interesting.
First up, Kids Stuff:
From
CarrotsareOrange.com she used water beads and a variety of cups and toys in a large bin as a sensory bin for kids. I go the water beads from Amazon.com and my daughter (3 yrs old) LOVED this. I put some small turtles in there, measuring cups, spoons and cups and she was busy for hours! And you get tons of water beads in a package so we can definitely do it again. I would highly recommend this activity.
Then I found these
letter sheets here.
These were also a huge hit and I highly recommend them.
As for food and recipes, I've made quite a few things. I have a board where I put the recipes I've tried and my reviews. You can seem them all
here.
This week I've done a few recipes that I haven't transferred yet. Crockpot bread was first.
The source is
here. It worked very well and I had some really good bread. But I'm wondering about my crockpot! What was supposed to take 1 hour took 2 and I had the crockpot set on high. Maybe my high and lows are backwards? I've always had problems with my crockpot scorching food so it was strange that it took too long. I will definitely do it again though.
Last night I made this one, braised short ribs...
The link goes
here. It was SO yummie. Again, me and my crockpot don't agree and I had to turn it off early. But everything came out wonderfully despite my equipment.
And at the moment I have sweet potatoes in the crock pot
from this pin.
I'll let you know how that goes given my crock pot problems. They smell good though.
Are you pinning? I'd love to know what you've done from Pinterest!
