I have fallen in love with Pinterest. I had a girlfriend post on my facebook wall that the site was made for me. I think she is right! With close to 2,000 pins, I made a promise to myself to use 1 pin a week. I have decided to keep track of the pins I have used through this blog. When I mentioned this to my 2 cousins they wanted to be contributors too. This blog will show things from a mom of a 7 and 2 year old, a mom of a 6 year old and a newlywed.

Freddy arrives
We have had our elf, Freddy, for three years now. He seems to arrive the night we put up our Christmas tree. He is usually a good elf, but every once in a while he gets a little mischievous. You can see some of his situations in this blog throughout the month.
Freddy arrived this year with donut holes. A family favorite. And he brought plates of himself (Pottery Barn Kids). How cool is that???

Turkey Oreos
For my daughters Thanksgiving Day party at school I got to bring dessert. When I saw these I had to make them. The only change I made to the pin is instead of using frosting for the glue, I used melted chocolate.
To melt chocolate to use for frosting, put 1/2 a bag of chocolate chips in a sandwich size zip lock bag and get the air out. Microwave for 1 minute on 50% then squeeze the bag (the chips will slowly start to melt). Then keep melting the chips for 30 sec at a time on 50% until the chips are completely smooth (make sure there are no chunks. If there are any chunks, it could rip a whole into the plastic bag as you are squeezing leaving you with a huge glob of a mess.
For each turkey you need:
2 oreos
1 peanut butter cup
1 malt ball
5 candy corns without the white layer
1 white layer of candy corn
yellow wilton candy melts, melted (for eyes and feet)
