a few bits of random

I have recently been sucked into Pinterest. I knew it would happen, so I kept putting it off. But finally the temptation overcame me.

I love it.

I only hate it because now my so-excited-for-this-project list just multiplied to the kajillionth degree. But that's ok. I am never bored.

Along with so many awesome project ideas... there are some seriously amazing tips on making your life easier.

I hate cleaning my microwave. Here's proof. And very good reason. (I'm so embarrassed to put this picture anywhere that anyone can see what the inside of my microwave looks like. My only comfort is knowing that this is not an uncommon sight. Except for you clean freaks... you just leave me alone.)

Seriously... this thing has stalactites. Gross. So. Gross.

I knew I'd find something useful on Pinterest so I wouldn't have to scrub for like an hour and get a back ache out of the ordeal and then cringe every time I hear something pop in there for the next 7 months before I start the cleaning pain once again.

Yeah, I was right. :)

A college roommate of mine just happened to have pinned it recently. So easy!! Amazing! A microwave-safe bowl with plenty of water in it, add a bit of vinegar and turn it on for 5 minutes on high.

A warm washcloth and about 8 minutes later: (And 5 of those minutes I was on the computer to check out more on Pinterest!)


Voila. Yeah, no more embarrassment over here.
I love vinegar. It is my friend.



On a side note (no microwave connection here) aren't baby bunnies so cute?

These little Valentine babies will be ready to find new homes right at Easter time.

And because my baby is cute as can be, I'll share her love of crackers with you. Doesn't her sweetness just make you smile?

I'm smiling.
