Pinterest Invites

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

I just recently joined Pinterest after hearing about its awesomeness. For those who don’t know, Pinterest is basically a virtual corkboard. You pin the things that interest you so you can find them later. For example, here are a bunch of recipes I want to try that I found:

You can create the boards to represent whatever you want. I’ve got one for cute house ideas, and you can even make yourself a virtual shopping and/or wish list! I will warn you though — it is highly addictive. However, I don’t know why I waited so long to sign up!

If you are interested in an invite, please leave a comment below letting me know. Just leave your email address in the email field (which will remain private), and I’ll get an invite out to you! Make sure you follow me there too!

Wordless Wednesday: Minus One Tree

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

We cut one of the trees down in the front a couple of weeks ago. You couldn’t see our house, it was overgrown, and nothing was growing in the front because nothing could get light. Here is the before:

Mrs. Printable’s Tour

Lisa — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 13:40:39 +0000

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

As a blogger, I sometimes get invited to really cool events. I recently attended a tour of Mrs. Prindables. I’ve got one word for the place: YUM!

Ok, seriously. They’ve never done a tour before, and I have to admit that it was one of the coolest tours I’ve been on. It’s really cool to see all of the hard work and time that gets put into these apples. An apple isn’t just an apple here. One of the first things that I learned was Mrs. Prindables has their own line of apples (and no there was never a Mrs. Prindable). They also are the ones that do Affy Tapple apples. Now, Affy Tapple apples are big here in Chicago. I’m not sure if they go outside the immediate area here or not. We actually did some fundraising for Madison’s school with Affy Tapple this year. We got to watch them make both. The main difference between the two is that Mrs. Prindables is hand made. Yes, hand made which is why they cost more. Affy Tapple apples are automatically made. (See story below). They also use a lot larger apples for the Mrs. Prindables apples.

It was truly an eye opening experience:

More check-ins at Affy Tapple Incorporated

We were sent home with some caramel and a triple dipped chocolate apple to try. To die for. Seriously. You wouldn’t believe how rich it was. And how yummy. I can say that this is a great unique gift to send a loved one or even buy for yourself!

Go check out Mrs. Prindable’s. You won’t be disappointed!
