I'm linking up with Amy at 24/7 Teacher for her first linky party sharing fun summer news. And boy do I have big news...
My dad is on Pinterest!!!!! The man who won't join facebook and has a cell phone that literally only makes calls is downstairs pinning away as we speak. I LOVE IT! I knew he would like it if he tried it, but he wasn't going to try it without a little push. So when I came to visit my parents this week, I gave him the shove into hopeless addiction we all know so well. =)

In other random bloggy news:
You know how bloggers leave comments with their links at the bottom all nice and neat? I wondered "How do they do that?" so I asked my real life BFF Melissa at Don't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late. Click the pic for a link to her blog if you'd like to know how to put your blog link in a comment.
Amanda, my Dad surfs Pinterest too! I crack up every time he sends me a link to a recipe or fun ecard! Our dads sound a lot a like!

An Apple a Day in First Grade
Oh my gosh, Amanda- I loved this post. First of all, don't you love it when your dad gets interested in something new and fun? That is great! Secondly- my daughter taught me how to put in the href code with my blog name- and I had it on a little paper- which I accidently threw away- and even though I had done it so many times- I was lost! Total non-computer-whizy moment. :( I got it now, though! (Watch- my link won't work on this comment... haha...)

Kindergarten: Holding Hands and Sticking Together
Haha, I'm not introducing my dad to pinterest. He has WAY too many technology-related obsessions as it is. My mom is on, however, and she's already planned out how she wants to demo half of the house (including closing off the garage)to completely redo it. With what money, I don't know!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about the link, I accidentally deleted mine a few minutes ago, but I still had it saved for my personal blog. I even added my Facebook page link this time! By the way, that's the next step for you :-)

That story about your dad is too funny! I wish my hubby would join. He'll ask me to look in a cookbook for a recipe for something and I'm like, "Uhhh... let's just check pinterest." I always find something awesome, but he refuses to join up because it's a "chick thing."

First Grade Hugs and High Fives
I told my husband about Pinterest about a year ago and he liked the idea that it bookmarks your websites visually. He didn't like that everyone could see what he would pin, so he didn't join. I like pinning stuff that I know my mom will like or would be cute for my niece and nephew. I think I've even pinned a couple of times with the note "Mom, can you make this??" :)
