As I reflect on 2011 I was thinking about some of my favorite things and one of them has to be – Pinterest (www.pinterest.com).  It’s the modern way to ‘scrap book’ your favorite things on the internet (instead of creating bookmarks for everything you ‘like’).  I really wish I had this tool back when I was planning my wedding instead of ripping pictures or ideas out of magazines and lugging around that big scrapbook I made.  You can create different categories based on your favorite things to look up.  Some of my categories include – Recipes & Food, For the Home, Dinner Parties, Its ALL about Bode, The Holidays…
Its amazing how sometimes a picture can say 1000 words.  For example, take a look at this picture below (my mouth is watering just looking at it LOL)…

Two of my favorite hobbies this year have been home decorating and party planning and pinterest has become a perfect way for me to track my favorite ideas to be able to apply them to my hobbies. 

I will continue to use this awesome tool in 2012 as I explore my little hobbies and look forward to hopefully growing our family with baby #2…  When you set up your account on pinterest be sure to follow me (search for me under – Nicole Hank)! 

Now if I can only figure out how to update my blog and create a Pinterest feed so you can view my pins as I update them (techy friends – help?)
