Pinterest Fails and Wins of Maternity Leave

So.... since I have been staying home the past 10 or so weeks, I have had a lot of no time to do things like try stuff I see on Pinterest while nursing at 3 a.m.  That being said, I have tried out a few Pinterest things that i couldn't resist.

Here's what worked:

Do it yourself tutu for Lucie :
(kinda hard to cut tulle evenly, just sayin'. )
here

and baby headband:
so super easy.... the hardest part was waiting in line for my number at JoAnn's... 
here
(I changed the flower from the site)

and "birds nest" breakfast muffins 

(okay, the oven did start smoking while making these)

here

and cream cheese grilled cheese sandwiches with blackberry preserves (a total win in my opinion...)
here

And Dr. Oz's teeth whitening... I promise this worked better than my actual teeth whitening solution from the dentist....

I also tried some banana breakfast cookies that were pretty good. i can't find the Pinterest link, i guess i forgot to pin it, but they are just 1/2c oats, 2 ripe bananas, and 1/4 bag chocolate chips mixed together and dropped on the cookie sheet in little lumps @ 325 for 15-20 mins. Guilt-free, Gluten-Free, and delicious :) (Even PK ate some and he doesn't like bananas or even banana bread)

AND THE FAIL.....
Kale Chips..... didn't work out for me... they burnt and made my house smell like fresh cut grass...

And there are a ton of other things I still want to try in my 2.5 weeks of nursing a crying baby non-stop and watching Ellen ahem, maternity leave. Here are a few:

Cake batter protein shake
here

Monster cookie dough dip
here

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa (For PK)

here

Do we see a trend emerging..........?

We're all about food in this house. Anyways, lots to do before I go back to work ;)  Where's Lucie you ask? Sleeping on top of me. Yep, not doing anything for now... maybe imagining what life would be like as a stay at home mom .... Pinterest= craft porn awesome.
