Follow Macaroni Kid Fremont on Pinterest!

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am addicted to Pinterest! If you haven't checked it out yet, I recommend that you do!

What is it? Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board and more! Filled with pictures of ideas, recipes, and much much more! Basically the idea is quite simple. You see a site or something you like and want to come back to it later, you used to save it to your favorites - with text, where you search and search to find it (if you even remember) without much luck. Instead, with Pinterest, you "pin" it to a specific "board" you create on your own Pinterest page and now you can come back to it easily AND see the pictures! Organization at its best!

What will you find? Recipes, crafts, holiday stuff, organizing and decorating ideas, and the list goes on and on. Looking for a cute teacher gift? Got you covered! How about a chicken recipe for dinner? Got that too! And you get to see pictures before you even click on it! Woohoo!

How to get started? First, you need a Pinterest account. It's free, but if you request the invite via Pinterest, it will take some time to receive it. Better option? If you know someone who is on Pinterest, ask them for an invite. MUCH faster! If you'd like to comment below with a request, I will send the invites out. No need to add your email address to the actual comment as I can see the email address on my end.

Now what? Once you are in, you can quickly starting "Pinning!" Anything you see that you'd like to save, you simply click "Repin!" You get to create a board to pin it on so you can keep it super organized and highly categorized. Think "Dinner Recipes," "Cupcakes," "Kid's Rooms," etc.

More info? You can add friends to your Pinterest account - follow them as you would on Facebook or Twitter - and this will customize your Pinterest feed so you can see all of their awesome Pins each time you log in. You can repin those you are interested in. You can use the search button or click on categories to see so many things! It's unbelievable what's out there!! And all visual with a photo and easy to save!

So what does this have to do with Macaroni Kid? Well, we've got you covered! We created a Pinterest account and would love to have you follow us! We've added many of our past articles, recipes, crafts and also repinning things we see that know our readers would love too! So follow us and enjoy some great ideas without even searching!
