Are you a Pinterest follower (read: obessed)? Geeze, I was introduced to Pinterest a couple years ago when it was brand spanking new, in Beta, when you had to be invited by other Pinterest users. It has just BLOWN UP since then. Here's what it looks like:
It basically a way to bookmark certain things. You go to a blog or website and you say to yourself, "huh! That's a really great idea!" Or, "Oooh, that would be a great gift for ____!!" You make 'boards' (for gifts or for the home or food) and you save it there. When you click on the picture that you saved, or saved from someone else, it takes you to the website that it came from (hopefully. Sometimes they get messed up).
Anyway, what was my point? OH! The Orange Rhino! So I was on the other day and it was this funny picture:
Caught my eye. And the "tired of yelling" intro. So I clicked on it and I have to say I'm intrigued. Some of you may remember me talking about a book this summer called "Scream Free Parenting". Well, this is very much like that. This lady was completely mortified when a handyman was over and she was SCREAMING at her kids, like red-in-the-face screaming. She she challenged herself to go ONE FREAKING YEAR without screaming. Geeze, I'm lucky to go a few days. Isn't that terrible?
She JUST finished the one year earlier this week (great timing to find the blog, huh?) and that was after she had to restart a couple times toward the beginning. Because once you scream (she has a rating system) you've got to start over. I'm researching this to see if I can really do it because I think it would be a huge accomplishment for myself. And it would be great for the kids. I know they are affected by my screaming and I HATE that.
Who wants to do it with me??
