The beginning

I’ve thought about doing a blog for a very long time, and figured it was now or never.  I’ve wanted to do a blog on my adventures of recreating things I find from Pinterest.  Yes, I am addicted to Pinterest. I can spend my whole day pinning recipes, crafts, and workouts.  I even plan vacations through Pinterest.

I’ll start by introducing myself.  My name is Kelly and I have lived in Connecticut for my whole life (we won’t talk about how many years that is, but I’m sure you will figure it out).  I am married to my husband, Rich, for almost 9 years now.  I’m a full time Senior Accountant for a manufacturing company. We have lived in our Southington house for 8 years this summer and I love this town.

I grew up in West Haven, CT (Shout out to my fellow Westies…I still bleed blue) with my older sister, Mindy and my parents.  We had a very typical upbringing, roof over our head, always had food in the refrigerator and love from our parents.  My mom is full Italian and we were raised in an Italian household.  My mom’s side of the family is big and everything was a celebration and every celebration had way too much food. My mom is an amazing cook and anyone that has been to my parents’ house during a party knows that my mother outdoes herself every time.  My father, on the other hand, well let’s just says my sister and I didn’t know he could cook while we were growing up. If mom didn’t make dinner chances were I was not eating what he made.  Once I moved out my father became a culinary chef.  The things he makes are excellent.  I guess after living with my mom for so long and watching her cook he learned a thing or two.

So that is my background, and I just want to share my experiences while pinning my way through Pinterest. It may be a recipe or a party idea or even a craft.  I assure you my photos will not be edited; this will be as real as you can get and there will definitely be some Pinterest Fails.  Join me on my newest  journey though I have no idea where it may lead. I leave you with my Pinterest page https://www.pinterest.com/kel0082/ until next time….
