Bark and Bites - Favorite Pinterest Boards


I recently took a Creative Live course on the Power of Pinterest and did you know that this popular social media site is ranked #3 (not far behind Facebook and Twitter) as one of the most popular social media platforms ever?  No wonder I can spend hours on the site pinning away all while managing to find favorite recipes, diy crafts, and pretty pictures.  For this week’s Bark and Bites I am going to share with you some of my favorite boards to follow, and I hope you will share with me some of your favorites too!

First row goes to Photoshop Elements, and I particularly enjoy their Photography Tips, Pet Photography, and Photo DIY boards.

Second row shows my sweet tooth.  I love the Brownies and Ice Cream Treats from Kevin and Amanda, along with Elsie's Cocktail Hour board.

Third row consists of boards about Dog Throw Pillows, Things That Make Me Smile, and Dog Designs for the Home.

Now hop on over to Newfandhound to see what links she has for you today!

Preparing For Baby - My First Box of Goodies

It's hard to believe I am currently into my 17th week of pregnancy; boy does the time sure go by fast!  I am finally starting to look it more each day (depending on the shirt that I wear) but to be honest I am still getting used to the idea that I will be holding a baby in little less than five months.  I feel like I have had an extremely easy pregnancy so far (I’m currently knocking on some wood) and the 12-13 week mark I started to get my energy back. I also began to experience this deep, deep hunger (along with the need to pee every 10 min) that I have never felt before. 

Although we have not made any purchases on baby items yet, I have already been able to collect a few practical items thanks to my sister and nearby cousin.  My sister sent along a cute ‘pregnancy must have’ box that contains the items above, and my cousin has gifted me with numerous items that her little baby can no longer fit in.  I am very thankful for the lovely gifts that have been given to me so far as I know that a baby will require many more items in the nearby future.

Bark and Bites - Inspiration Links

Where do you go to find inspiration? Do you get inspired by looking at art, while outside walking your dog, or by visiting your favorite websites? It is easy to run out of inspiration and motivation, and I believe it happens to everyone - no matter how long you have been blogging.  Lack of inspiration isn't necessarily a bad thing because I believe it presents to us the opportunity to research and learn new things.  I can spend hours, sometimes days, just looking at things I consider beautiful - but these are my go to links when I need a serious pick me up in the inspiration department.

CreativeLIVE is a new favorite hangout of mine.  The site features workshops in photography, video, design, business, audio, music, and software training, and is available for anyone to watch – for free – and interact with instructors in real time.  I recently watched a workshop on The Power of Pinterest and took away two days’ worth of wonderful information to revamp my Pinterest Page.  I am currently signed up for several website/design workshops, and eagerly look forward to their exciting Photo Week they have starting on the 16th.  

I take an e- course at sites like A Beautiful Mess, or Decor8.  These sites create fun online courses that you can take covering topics like branding, identity development, and how to be your own blog boss.  Holly from Decor8 has a neat blogging/photography e-course coming up next month that I am looking forward to.

Attend one of your favorite blogging conferences like Blog Paws or Alt Design Summit.  If you are not able to attend a conference then you can usually find great resources like communities or network channels that are always full of inspiring information.

Inspiration can be found anywhere, and it always helps to have your favorite resources to go to when in need.  Where do you like to find your inspiration?  Hope on over to Newfandhound to see her inspiration links!
