Friday Sappiness Courtesy of Pinterest

Laura Linder — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:34:30 +0000

So for months people have been telling me I need to join Pinterest. “Laura, it’s so up your alley.” “You’re going to love it.” etc. etc. I resisted because what self respecting Facebook-quitter replaces it with another social media time sucker?

Well, that was before I checked it out and got sucked into the creative force of good ideas. The funny part about Pinterest is that for the most part you pin the unattainable: you know some Olympian’s 16 pack and that million dollar Pottery Barn kitchen. But what I love most about it is the source it provides of good ideas that you may actually be able to pull off. I’ve found and tried some amazing recipes for my super picky family that are actually healthy. Pinterest ideas inspired a garage clean-up that seriously makes me happy every day. There’s something about the rarity of a clean garage that just makes the Type A in me ridiculously giddy. We’re even fixing up the basement. It’s been a comical project with the hubby since it’s like the blind leading the blind. If DIY Home Improvement had been a school subject, we’d have both failed for sure. But, dare I say, it’s actually looking better? Perhaps there may even be a playroom down there in the future?

I also love the feel good sappiness you can find on Pinterest. Whether it be weight loss inspiration or just plain old romance, I leave feeling inspired with a good dose of the super sweet.

Check out what’s been inspiring me… And if you can stand it, come find me: BetterEvents.

A Decade Together

10 years ago today, Mitchell Alan Linder asked me to go steady. I wonder if he knew then the amount of sass that was in store for him?

May 2009

Ditto a hundred times and more not just today but every day. Do you remember those amazing donuts we stumbled upon in Maine? When the Vatican Police kicked us out of the Sistine Chapel for taking pics? Lazy lunches in the campus center? The miraculous sound of a teeny tiny heartbeat? So much history, so much love. You will forever hold the prize as the best and funniest person I know.

January 2012

And one thing is abundantly certain, I’m sure there is no way to thank you, Mitch, for the best gift I have ever received.

A happy happy holiday from Better Together Events!

One….

Today my heart turns ONE… Why, how did this even happen?

Oh My Bridget, so many things to say, but I just want to leave you with this very important thought: This year you’ve learned to dance, to take steps, to laugh, to talk, to roll, to giggle, to eat, to cry… you’ve learned to write your own song and to make your own dance and all the while I’ve had the privilege to watch your eyes as you discovered things extraordinarily beautiful and extraordinarily terrible. Seeing the world through your bright, blue, brilliant eyes has been nothing sort of miraculous. I hold your first year in my heart as you carry my heart with you.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Peach.

The invitations are out for the biggest little-person event of the year. Stay tuned for all the details. Until then, here are some recent pics that melt my heart.

How did you grow so big overnight

How did you get so smart and bright

Yesterday you were asleep in my arms

Today you’re growing off the charts

I’m so proud of you

How did you grow so big overnight?

How did you get so smart and bright ?

Summer is about spending long days with the ones you love, which must explain why there are so many weddings! Here’s a few from our summer.
