I'm debuting a big idea soon (very soon) and am currently hard at work on it. Also, we're currently tinkering with the feed a bit, mainly trying to get the top feature image here to show up there.

Audrey shared here and here, I'm finally starting to pull myself together. So far I've accumulated some colored pants, a few … [Read more...]

Pinterest All Stars: More Playtime Finds
You may be surprised to hear that not all my playtime related Pinterest finds are located on my Playtime board. (Ok, so the first one technically is but the others aren't - promise.)

Pinterest All Stars
After losing another hour (or two) to pinterest the other night, it dawned on me that maybe I should turn the many future hours I'll inevitably spend there into something productive. So today I'm announcing a new MPMK feature, Pinterest All Stars, in which I'll be highlighting some of my most popular pins. This way I can share some of my best finds and chalk up all my pinning time to "working" - it's a total win-win. The plan is to normally only feature one pin but since this is the inagural … [Read more...]
