Pinterest is NOT a Waste of Time!

When I was first introduced and invited to join Pinterest, I didn’t have any idea what Pinterest is and what possible uses I would have for becoming a user. Some people have the opinion that Pinterest is a complete and total waste of time. I disagree wholeheartedly, but I can also understand why some might think of Pinterest as nothing but a time-waster. It’s all in how you use it, how much time is spent “pinning” and whether or not Pinterest users actually DO any of the things that have been “pinned” to a board.

For me personally, Pinterest is an excellent bookmarking tool, much better and simpler than loading up browser favorites to online articles or tutorials on How-To do this or that. While I will occasionally “pin” a recipe or two to my food/recipe board that I absolutely take the time to prepare and try out at home, at the moment I’m much more interested in the DIY Crafts category, sewing and patterns tutorials, wedding planning, tips and recipes for breadmaking with a breadmaker machine, and most especially quilting.

Spicing Up Your Marriage

It’s no secret that a marriage can become a bit dull at times. This doesn’t mean that you love your husband or wife any less than you ever have, but simply that you have hit a lull. Furthermore, it is perfectly common for this to happen. When two people bind themselves together in marriage, they eventually adopt a routine together, which can be somewhat exciting at first, but which can also become somewhat boring.

Perhaps you separate for work in the morning, join each other for dinner, spend the evening together, and go to bed – pleasant enough, but also lacking some excitement! Whatever your particular routine is, if you have noticed your marriage starting to become a bit duller lately, it is important to take steps to “spice things up.”

The most important part of this process is not to weigh it more heavily than necessary. If you feel a bit bored with your marriage, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is some deep problem, or, again, that your love is diminished. In all likelihood, you just need something to kick your relationship back into gear and help you and your partner to remember how much fun you can have together.

Even though we claim to be level-headed, modern individuals, fairytales and movies still make us wish for the one special person with whom we can spend our happily ever after.

A lot of couples see these troubles through and become better together as a result, but sometimes things just have a way of getting ugly.

Who Chooses the Engagement Ring?

Diamond SolitaireAh, sweet bliss surrounds the happy couple in love! The two lovebirds are about to enter the next phase of life and what could ever go wrong? Well, possibly the engagement ring! The man may fear choosing a ring she hates and the woman may fear he’ll choose a ring she hates. Sadly, neither person knows how to broach the subject. Most people who are in love detest the banal conversation of something that should be so poetic.

Of course, tradition has it that the man picks out the ring and totally sends the lady into joyous shock when he presents it to her. With more modern couples, the woman knows the proposal is coming but still doesn’t give any input about the style of the ring. It seems as if any discussion of the ring is taboo! But it is after all, the woman who will wear the ring every day.
