Not-So Happy Pinning

Am I the only one who feels completely overwhelmed every time I get on Pinterest? I usually click on over to the site with the idea that I am going to quickly search for something in particular. {Today is was....actually, I don't even remember now -I never made it that far. Ha!} Anyway, the page opens up with everything my fellow pinners have pinned recently. I start scrolling and clicking and browsing. And before I know it my mind is filled with recipes I have to make, DIY projects I need to get started on ASAP, and pictures of beautiful homes I will probably never live in. Now my house isn't decorated good enough. My dinners aren't healthy enough. I need to go buy a bottle of OPI nail polish and change my workout routine. My freezer isn't filled with a months worth of meals ready to throw in the Crockpot. And for goodness sake, fall is here and I haven't made a hand print of my baby and turned it into a turkey. Am I the only one who feels this way? I have to limit how often I get on the site because before I know it I have spent Mason's entire nap time glued to a computer screen looking at pictures that only make me anxious. 

{I have, like so many of you, made some very time consuming fun Pinterest projects that I am quite proud of -like the one below. I won't even tell you how long it took me to make 58 fabric rose thingys to put around that mirror.}


Sorry, Brad, I haven't been too happy pinning.
