Pinterest & Instagram: An Addiction
As I impatiently wait for our baby to arrive, I have found ways to keep myself busy. I am reading, baking, walking, and spending lots and lots of time on Pinterest and Instagram. I can’t help myself. I have both Apps on my iPhone which makes it even easier to get sucked in.
I love Instagram because it is an easy way to document the big and little things in life. I take a lot of random photos, but that is what is fun. Instagram has made me stop and appreciate the small moments in my day. Sounds silly, but it is true.
A few photos I took on Instagram this week:
An apple a day! My favorite afternoon snack.
We went on a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon this week. Loved the view!
Josh’s mom sent us the cutest pea pod towels! Love them!
Pinterest is a whole other world. I could spend all day on that site. I have found so many fun recipes, decorating ideas, DIY projects, fashion inspiration, entertaining ideas, etc. I am a visual person so I love organizing by images. A few things I’ve pinned lately:

For the nursery-framed papers! So easy and affordable! via Cape 27
Fun caramel apples for fall-via Allyson Baker Design
Love this grey and yellow bedroom-via Desire to Inspire

I am anxiously waiting for both apps to come to my Droid! I love Pintrest, but man, oh, man, is it dangerous.
I love, love Pinterest. I have found the neatest ideas there but it is definitely dangerous – it’s hard to get away from!
Every day I check to see if you’ve had that baby yet!

No baby yet! We will keep you posted:)
They are both addictive, aren’t they? I love the filters on Instagram—my photos always seem a little more magical once I’ve picked out the right filter. I recently got hooked on Pinterest, too! So much inspiration to be found!
Instagram does make you appreciate the little things. Although, I found myself getting a little TOO caught up in the “document everything” mentality and had to tell myself to put the phone down once and awhile
I’m equally addicted to pinterest! Haven’t tried instagram but I will have to check it out!
Just finally got around to creating my Pinterest account yesterday. I hope my boss doesn’t see me pinning all day long at work.
I love IG and all your pics on there!
And I also have a pinterest acct and have been following you there too. Love all your ideas and boards!
All this stuff is sooooo fun!

I love following your photos and pins too:) Thanks Averie!
I to love Pinterest. Finally an easy way to keep track of all the goodness on the web. I’ll go check your boards!
I guess I must have kissed that you were pregnant. Congratulations! When is your due date?
I’ve heard of Instagram and Pinterest but never used either one. I will check them out. Your photos look great. Best wishes for a quick and smooth delivery.
Love pinterest too and wish I had instagram with a smart phone (I have a dumb phone currently). I’m going to hop over to pinterest and follow you.
i love pinterest! so fun
I love pinterest too! I like instagram, but I never take very many pictures with my phone. Whoops.
Pinterest has become my latest addiction too. I turn the brightness way down on my iPhone and it becomes the perfect amount of light to see what I need to when I am breastfeeding at night and the pinterest app keeps me company during marathon feeding sessions. I love it.
