How I use Pinterest. Day 30 of #Blogtober17

I am taking part in Blogtober17 and will be writing posts with various themes/prompts throughout October...Today's prompt is: Pinterest

As a blogger I am supposed to know how to use it to my advantage to get blog views. I don't have a clue....I do keep meaning to look into it though. I will get around to it one day....lol I use Pinterest for myself. I pin things I like so I can look back on and gain inspiration.

 I love finding new recipes to try. There are some weird and wonderful one's to be found....Ellie was looking at Pinterest the other day and searched for Unicorn Recipes! Oh my goodness! Everything is so pretty!
Fish Finger Pie was an Pinterest find and so was the idea for making Ice cream in a bag. I often look at my recipe board for meal planning inspiration. When I see a recipe I like I pin it.

As you know I read a lot of blogs and plenty of them review toys....It is very handy to have somewhere to save the toys that have caught my eye and look back at them in the run up to Christmas.

 I can see me getting a lot of use from my Halloween and Christmas boards....I save everything from recipes, crafts, tips and ideas on these....

Pinterest was where I first discovered the idea of Elf on the Shelf....I think this will be the 3rd year we have been doing it so I will be scouring Pinterest for ideas. I really need some new things to do with our elf....

 How do you use Pinterest? What do you like to pin?

    I really want to start using Pinterest more. I tend to avoid it because once I'm on there I just get lost in it and end up procrastinating!! xx

    Like you I know I should use Pinterest to promote my blog, but instead I just use it for me. It's where I store kids' activity ideas I've seen on Facebook and Twitter, or search for inspiration when faced with a terrifying craft project for my 5 year old's homework, but I have to admit 95% of my Pins are things I've never acted on and probably never will!!

    I use Pinterest only for my own pleasure, and not as a blog promotion tool at all. I mostly pin recipes these days.
