A few years ago I asked Jeeves when I needed to know something.
Then I started to ask Google.
But now I ask Pinterest.
For example. I had a candle that came in a cute mason jar that I wanted to save, so I asked pinterest, "How do you get the wax out of a candle jar?" She said to put boiling water in the jar after the candle was gone then let it set for a little bit. She said it would melt the wax and come right out. She reminded me to not pour the hot water/melted wax down the sink, but to dump it outside. She said the inside of the jar would wipe clean with a paper towel.
She was right. Pinterest is as good as asking a neighbor.
Then, Cali gave me a low-bench bookshelf that she didn't want. I walked all over the house trying to figure out where to put it. I tried it on the ground. I tried it on a table top. I tried it on a wall. It just didn't look right anywhere. I put it in the garage until a solution could be found. What I should have done was ask Pinterest how to display low-bench bookshelves, because two days later Ande sent me one of her ideas.
She said it would work perfectly for children's books if I displayed some big, appropriate things on top of it. She was so right. It does work perfectly and looks good. Pinterest is as good as asking a neighbor.

Pinterest and daughters keep me on track and inspired!
I read the tip of putting the candle in a pan of water and warming the wax up that way. When it gets just warm enough to be liquid, use a paper towel to wipe it out. If there's too much wax to wipe out, then make a little bowl out of tin foil, and pour the wax in the bowl and wait for it to harden, then put it in the garbage!
I love pinterest too! I have so many recipes pinned, but just not enough time to do them all!
I love your chairs by the book case too! Your house is so cute!!

I wonder if the men on Pinterest refer to it as a 'he'?
Last weekend I made tatertot crust/egg muffin things for dinner. Pinterest helped me out on that one because I needed a last minute dinner idea. She pulled through because it's a kid favorite now.
