So I Saw on Pinterest...

Hi! I'm Lindsey. I'm 23 years young and a momma to two wonderful little boys, Dominic & Daniel. I spend A LOT of my free time on Pinterest. I decided to start this blog to make sure that I am trying out some of the hundreds of Pins that I have and keep track of what works and what I completely fail at. :) However, this will not be all about Pinterest, sometimes I might throw some other things in. Enjoy! Other places to follow me at! FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/lnmartin1017 PINTEREST (OF COURSE!): http://pinterest.com/lnmartin1017/ INSTAGRAM: @ lindseynicole1017

Pin 4: Happy (almost a month late) Valentine's Day!

Pin #4: http://pinterest.com/pin/270567890084991736 (Tumblr changed things on me and now I can't make my link say "Superhero Pops!" like I wanted.)

I know that I am SUPER late on getting this posted. I'll apologize now for some of the picture quality. They were taking on my phone at night time, and I'm blind without my contacts. :D

I knew that I wanted to make Valentine's for Dominic's class this year instead of buying them. I found some ideas on Pinterest and asked him which ones he liked most. He chose these ones. :)

Supplies Superhero Printables - (There is a link to get these FREE in the pin!) Stiff Felt - Found at Michael's for about a $1 each. If you do it right you can fit like 10 or 11 per piece of felt. Hole punch 2" paper punch - I found one at Michael's. You could also use scissors but I didn't think I would be able to cut them out in a good circle. And now I have a 2" paper punch. :) Coordinating ribbon Lollypops (Following the recommendation, we used tootsie pops because of the nice colors that coordinate well!) Glue (Hot or craft - we used a craft glue) Cape template

I would start out by cutting out your template for the capes. I used a box that we had used from dinner to draw one and cut it out. I took a couple trys but I got one that worked well.

The next thing I did was cut out the capes out of our felt that we needed. (We did all red for the girls since it is Wonder Woman! We had 11 red, and then 4 of blue, green, and black for the boys!)

Once I got the cape cut out, I passed it to my little helper who did the whole punches at the pop of the cape for them to slide on the pop!

Once that was done then we printed out the FREE printables (the Superhero logos and Valentine's messages) and using my 2" paper punch, cut them out and sorted them.

Then using the craft glue we put the Superhero logos onto the capes. Then Dominic arranged them in a nice little smiley face. :D haha

Then you slide the lollypop through the hole punch. Helps to twist a little and slide it up as far as you can so it doesn't fall off. :)

Tie a ribbon below it.

Then you hole punch on the top and bottom of a coordinating message. Then you slide the message on to the stick. :D

Then you're ALL DONE!!! :D

BATMAN!

GREEN LANTERN!

SUPERMAN!

& WONDER WOMAN! (BECAUSE GIRLS ARE SUPERHEROS TO! ;D)

Dominic loved them. & after you got everything together they are super easy to put together quickly!

Happy pinning!! :D

Pin 3: Oven Baked Chicken or Pork Chops

“Pin #3”: Oven Baked Chicken or Pork Chops

Unfortunately, the website where I found this recipe (link above) did not have any pictures, so I couldn’t Pin it then link to the Pin. But these turned out really good. We tried it with pork chops, however I am planning on trying it with chicken also. The flavor was okay but not too strong. It worked out good because the boys are sometimes sensitive to things that have too much. I might try to add some Italian seasoning next time to give it a little extra.

Ingredients: 3 lb. chicken (or pork chops) 1 c. dry bread crumbs ½ c. grated Parmesan cheese, optional (I, of course, opted to use it! lol) ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. pepper 4 tbsp. butter, melted

Combine bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder, and pepper.

Dip each piece of chicken (or pork chops) in butter, then roll in dry mixture. Place is greased baking pan.

Bake at 350°F for one hour. (My pork chops only took about 45 minutes so I would definitely watch the time!)

The recipe serves 4.

Happy pinning!! :D

Things I've tried pre-blog!

Pin #1: Weekly Frames

I'm not sure where this idea originated, but I LOVE it. :)

My first attempt was making one for us. I don't mind the fact that some of the days of the week are sideways. I actually think it adds something to it. But I didn't properly account for the frame so some of the words got cut off. We have used it regardless because I didn't want to waste the ink to reprint them all. However soon I will redo them with a different print and fix it. :)

My second attempt turned out a lot better. This one I made for my mom. She wanted the words sideways also but this time I made sure to have them fit on the paper and show the whole word.

These are VERY useful. We plan out our meals for the week and this is a good spot for keeping track of them. It is right in our kitchen to so it helps us follow our plan.

Pin #2: Foil in bowl

This is one of the pins where I have thought "Why didn't I think of that?"

I tried this the other night and it made clean up so easy!! You just put the foil in the bowl, drain the meat. Wait for it to harden up, then ball up the foil and toss in the trash.

That's it for now, but I'll be back soon.

Happy pinning!! :D
