Pinterest and the Powers of the Magic Eraser

First things first, I know my pictures are horrible. Horrible.  I have had the worst luck with cameras this year.  I have a new camera on the way, so from here on out I promise you pictures that aren't dark and blurry! 

My new favorite thing to do while Finn naps is Pinterest.  There are so many great ideas that are usually very simple and inexpensive to do.

For example...

 I cannot stand the amount of stuff that accumulates in my junk drawer. This will be such a great solution.

   I had some asparagus spears, so I pulled up an easy asparagus idea.  It couldn't have been easier.  You just put them on a cookie sheet and coat them in olive oil, salt, pepper,and garlic salt.  (The Ninja Turtle is optional.)

They baked for like 10 minutes or so. So easy, but sometimes it takes a little "pin" to motivate me to cook things in new ways.

One day I was painting a wall and I had the great idea of touching up a small chip in the paint behind the couch.  Unfortunately as soon as I sloppily slapped it on I realized it wasn't the same paint.   Since then the couch has moved and I have to look at this every day...

You see the white spot beside the black square? That was kind of the spot I was going for.  Double fail.  Anyways, for the past year this eye sore has driven me nuts.  I mean nuts.  We didn't have the other paint.  The wall is 20 ft tall so there is no fixing this in an easy way.   I saw many "pins" about the magic eraser. I got one to use on baseboards.  While I was doing it I thought, "hm mm how could I screw this up a little more?"  I mean could it have looked worse or more noticeable?  Probably not.

I was so excited to give it a try.   And the reveal....

I was so excited to see that it took most of that paint off.  I didn't go any further as I didn't want to take the original paint off.

 It isn't perfect, but from a distance it is really hard to even notice.

 I am thrilled to have the big black spot out of my life! Thank you Magic Eraser.  You are magical.
