Wouldn’t it be great to stay in one of those Beverly Hill Homes?  The large ten car garage to keep your fleet of super cars, a Japanese styled garden to potter around in and enjoyed nature and a swimming pool in your own backyard. Can you imagine that?

A 5 bedroom houses with attached toilets in each room and space to place all the accessories and furniture you would like in each room. I would have a state of the art kitchen filled with all the fancy gadgets which would make baking and cooking a breeze. There would be ample counter space to prepare  elaborate dishes which needs many different ingredients. The kids would be able to have their own space and privacy as they grow up.

It would be a dream come true for me if I could own such a house. The kids could have their own room to decorate according to their fancy and we could even have a guest room for the grandparents when they come visiting   However for the present moment it is still a dream for me.

What type of house are you dreaming off?

My thoughts on the book

In all I found the book extremely easy to read and follow  for both the newbie and advance users of pinterest.

Even though I have been using the site actively for quite a whil there is still so many things which I wasn’t aware of.

I was surprised to know that there is so much more to learn about fully optimizing my use of my pinterest account.I didn’t know that you could track the referrals which came from your pinterest account and view it via Google Analytics. That was new to me and it would be something which I would be implementing shortly.

I strongly recommend this book for people who want to know more about Pinterest and how to properly optimize their usage of pinterest.

Feel free to follow me on pinterest and you can check out more of my pins that I have on my board. If you’d need an invitation to pinterest let me know here, and I will invite you!

Tiger Girl- Striving On

2012 05 13 Tiger Girl  Striving On

My little Tiger girl doesn’t have the word ” cannot” in her dictionary.  She is determined to try till she succeeds. Here she is at the playground trying out the step up platforms which are a tad high for her. She didn’t want to go up the playground via the staircase but the step up platforms as she saw her brothers going up that way and wanted to follow suit.

After spending some time analyzing the obstacle in front of her she managed to overcome it and up she went ..it was a success!!
