Pinterest Makes Me Happy and Motivated


It's been 4 years since I decided I wanted to share my adventures in comparing myself to people on Pinterest.  I failed miserably at following through with what I had in mind, like many people on Pinterest!  Well, I'm going to give it another go!  I figure writing something up once a week will all me to set a goal, think of fun things I have done, think of time I have spent with my family, doing something for someone, even just spending a few glorious minutes alone on a computer without doing work or mindlessly scrolling something, I will be doing something to better myself!
Look at this quote I found on Pinterest: 
Today, like many days lead me to Pinterest. Max, the younger of the two boys, wanted to make banana muffins.  Okay, sure, we can do that. i have TONS of frozen bananas in the freezer for when we make smoothies.  Well, those are "too brown."  Well, we went to the store and got some barely yellow bananas. When we got home, it was off to Pinterest to find an easy recipe.  We decided on this one.  It looked simply and easy enough.  The only problem then is that we didn't have any baking soda.  My husband decided to use the last of it for the hot tub to even out the pH levels.  Hmmmm....well off to Pinterest to see what I could do for a baking soda substitute. Yay!  Other people have fallen into this problem and the nice people at Tollhouse even made a nice graphic to help me out!
After getting all the ingredient squared away, we were able to make some lovely banana muffins out of some barely ripe bananas.  I'm not sure if the state of the bananas or that Max picked the super large muffin tins, but these took 10 minutes extra to bake than the recipe stated and they are still very moist in the middle.  They taste good, actually more banana-y than normal.  I think it's because I generally use REALLY ripe brownish bananas.
