How To Save Pinterest Photos To Your Phone

Ok so this is kind of a fitness tip too.  I exercise first thing in the morning, you know before I actually am awake and can think a normal thought. That way I can't talk my way out of it.  But I do like to stretch and do a few exercises in the evening, especially if I'm watching TV.  Thats where my handy Pinterest app tip comes in handy.  If you have the Pinterest app you can save photos to your phone, like one of those exercise things you see, so you don't have to go digging through Pinterest for it. 

Open up your Pinterest app and choose explore.  It will pull up a list of topics to search through.  For this I'm going to look in fitness.  You can also search things like exercise, abs, leg workout...

Scroll through until you see an exercise you might want to try.  I think that lean legs pyramid looks pretty good so I want to try that.  Sigh, since that is the area I need the most work on!

Tap the photo you want to take a closer look at.  You might have to scroll down a bit but see that button that says More?  Tap that.

It will pull up this screen.  Check it out, you can save it to your camera roll!  Tap that button.

After you finish checking out all the other fabulousness on Pinterest you can go see your photo in your camera roll.  See my Instagram photos?  And yes I am kind of considering homeschool.  But thats besides the point. There is my lean legs pyramid at the end.

Now I can get lean legs while watching 30Rock and the Office.  Oh geez this looks tough.  I hate jumping jacks!  

Pretty snazzy eh.  Now you can have exercises within reach instead of reaching for the cheetos!  Want to know something terrible?  When I was nursing Ivy I would watch the Biggest Loser and eat cheetos.  She was literally sucking all the fat off of my body so I felt completely justified.  At least they were the natural cheetos... just sayin.  

Insta Day. 3.26.12

Phew what a week!  Actually what a weekend.  I think we use the week to catch up from our weekends!  Now that spring is here Greenies just gets busier and busier so by Monday we are pooped!
Here's a glimpse of what we were up to last week via Instagram

Darin and I decided to have a Harry Potter marathon.  One movie each night.  We started last Saturday and finished on Friday.  But how old are we because we only watched at the most half of each one cuz we always fell asleep!

Goldilocks decided she wanted bumpy hair for church.  So we braided her hair after baths Saturday night.  Then she decided to keep the braids for church.  They were definitely worse for the ware from sleeping.  Oh well.  

She had bumpy hair on Monday instead. 

I've had a good string of luck with pinterest tries.  Shredding cooked chicken in the mixer works like a charm!  

We've grown lots of things in the family garden at Grandma's but every preschooler has to grow grass I think.  We used tuna fish cans and a $3 bag of grass seed from Walmart.    

Then we went outside and spread the rest of the seeds in some bare spots.  Pink galoshes are awesome.

Sometimes on rainy days you just have to watch movies and hang out.  Tying knots is very theraputic I've decided.  Unless you mess up, then its really not.

Green just might be my favorite color.  

I was toast after working two days in a row.  On Saturday I sold 23 pairs of Toms.  TWENTY. THREE. I'm so happy that kids are getting shoes.  And on that note...

Bwahaha.  I was laughing so hard when my sister sent me that.  I love sarcasm in case you didn't know.

Other highlights of my week were...

 seeing the Hunger Games with a bunch of really cool people 

 Fear Factor at mutual 

and finishing my 4th week of Insanity.  UGH!

Happy Monday!
