TGIPinterest. Join Me for a Pin This Challenge!

I’m in the mood for newness in 2012, can you tell?

pBd got a facelift (didya notice? Please say you noticed!), I’m living a life of depravity, and now I’m fully accepting that I probably have something of a borderline obsessive disorder of some sort (that does NOT require intervention, because if you try try to take this away from me, I WILL cut you) with Pinterest.

It’s cool.

It’s not like I’m over here selling my kids toys to support my Pinterest habit (because Pinterest is free, duh) or anything.

It’s a perfectly safe and effective way to spend an afternoon ignoring your kids being inspired to greatness.

And, everyone wants to be a little bit great, right?!

I know I do. 

Matter of fact, I’d even say that being great (read awesome) is basically my life’s goal (along with being thinner and forever young).

So, that’s exactly what this new tidbit of pBd awesome is gonna be about.

Consider it a call to action.

An opportunity for you to be great.

Maybe not in life, but certainly on Pinterest.

Every week I will present to you a challenge.

Could be something as easy as, Pin This: Books I Love More Than Sex Cupcakes Life Itself  (so I can find something to read already, I’m in a dry spell that is making me antsy).

Then you would hop over to Amazon (or Pinterest if you’re of the repinning sort) and pin the Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games trilogy, Water for Elephants, The Help, and maybe something you read in high school, call it a board, and be done with it.  After you come back and share it with me, of course.

Or, maybe I need some ideas for a certain Dude’s birthday party we are scheduled to celebrate this weekend and, because I’m all procrastinatey-last-minute-bad-mom-lady, I need some creative party ideas to make things look fun and feel festive up in here, stat!

Then, I might say Pin This: Dude Party Ideas so you guys can scurry around to your favorite party planning blogs and such and hook a mama up with some easy-for-anyone-with-hands-regardless-of-actual-aptitude type games, décor, and goodie bag ideas for me to dumb down and duplicate.

You’d pin it all up.

Then head back over here and link away (yep, there will be a linky)!

Fun, right?

Totally.

But, since it’s really too late for even you to save me from party disaster (unless you have a link to some fun ninja party ideas I could use that you wanna leave in the comment section perhaps?!), I’m giving you something easy to do for next week: Valentine’s Day Ideas!

You know, the super cool kind that will allow me to blow the doubting socks offa all of the room mom’s who give me the side eye when I show up to help out at the class parties.

I know, we’re still a couple of weeks away from the big day, but when you’re me and you’ve got a lot to prove and a very low level of skill and creativity at your disposal you need to start early!

So, here’s the challenge: Pin This: In Yo Face Valentine’s Day Awesome to Impress The Room Mom.

I already did mine (click the link).  It’s a work in progress, Kay?! I need you guys to make yours so I can steal from it repin from it.

You have a week.

Then the linky for sharing and challenge #2 will be up!

So, who’s with me?!*

*So, just to be clear (because I know I confuse people with my crazy talk), every Friday I’m going to issue a Pin This challenge.  You will spend an afternoon on Pinterest “working” on your board.  Then, on the following Friday (the first one will be 1/27) you come back and add a link to your board to my linky.  Easy.  Fun.  Awesome.  So, don’t forget, kay?!  I might just have a surprise for one lucky participant!  Because I love Pinterest you that much!
