Some time ago, some blog friends introduced me to Pinterest. At first, I saw Pinterest as another tool to distract me, but recently I began to see possibilities.
When I dug into Tell Your Time by Amy Lynn Andrews at the beginning of the year, I began to think about being a dreamer. Andrews encourages people to think out their roles. And to all the ones that immediately spring to mind, she encourages the addition of one more: dreamer.
And I began to think: what are my dreams? Many have come true:
- be a mommy
- homeschool my kids
- write a novel
That’s a pretty satisfying list right there. But I haven’t stopped dreaming.
The “experts” will tell you that a big part of making dreams come true is vision. You’ll never reach a goal if your sights aren’t set on it. I used to have a bulletin board where I’d post pictures of the things I dreamed about: a vision board. Some keep clippings in a folder or scrapbook. But since we’ve become a little nomadic, I haven’t had a place to put these things.
Enter Pinterest.
On a sudden burst of inspiration, I put together my own vision board.

Pinterest is also a great place to collect homeschool information. See my friend Sam’s great post on that subject.

Love/hate Pinterest! So fun and helpful, so easy to get lost in!
Mostly, I’ve been able to avoid wasting time with Pinterest. I do that other places :) I do like that it’s visual–I’m very visual. I do kinda think I could be using it more to its potential, but that would take more time, I’m sure.
I’m still a Pinterest novice compared to some. However, I do see it as a wonderful tool for gathering what you’d like to do someday in one spot. I LOVE the idea of a vision board and need to give that some thought for me.
Right. I’m collecting furniture and play space ideas right now for when we move into our new home abroad. Hard to know what that will be like, though, so I don’t want to commit to anything. Pinterest is great for keeping a file of those ideas.
