It is rainy outside or are your kids yelling at you that they are bored? Have you made the same dinners for the last ten weeks and are looking for a change? Are you planning yet another birthday party and need some inspiration?

Well mom's look no farther! Pinterest is here to save the day!

"It's like a "Pictures of cool things on the Internet" cork board."
What is Pinterest?  Pinterest is the newest social networking site on the web. It's growing fast and it's a place to showcase what you like on the internet. It's like a "Pictures of cool things on the Internet" cork board.

One goes to the site and you're immediately greeted with pictures. Pinterest is primarly picture based. You see first, read later.  Let's say you are looking for a simple craft for your kids to do so they stop complaining about being bored. Open up Pinterest and go to the DIY/Crafts board and look at all the cool crafts others have done. Click on your favorite picture and it will provide you with a link to the craft. Re-pin your favorites so your friends can see what you like.

Need a new recipe idea but don't want to wade through thousands of recipes on the web? Open the food board in Pinterest and you will be greeted with hundreds of delicious looking pictures of food.

Have a wedding you are planning, maybe a birthday party, and need to figure out a theme. Pinterest is your place. Same goes for home decor.

Do you just need a laugh? The humor board is a place where you can see what's funny all over the internet.

If you haven't joined Pinterest yet, you should. It will become a life saver for you in no time!

    I absolutely love pinterest. I love finding projects on DIY that are sooo useful for around the house. Creating some household products are also very helpful. I use pinterest for inspiration on cooking, teaching, organizing, crafts, gifts, and much more. Keeps me busy and really helps use things around the house:)

    I'm addicted to pinterest. Its a great way to learn about so many new things, and share new things as well. I love the inspiring quotes, the DIY projects, the humor, etc. that list can go on. I use pinterest to browse every night as way to relax when I get home from work. It's kind of therapeutic. I highly reccomend it!

    I love Pinterest as well. In fact I have to stop myself sometimes from logging on because it is so hard to log off. I am always looking for new ideas as far as organizing and decorating. I will look at a pin and then link to a personal blog if that person has one. It can be very addicting!!
