"SUP Board Ideas."
While living in Orange County for three years, Susie picked up
stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, for short.
“It’s a great workout that engages your core, arms, and legs,” says Susie, who started
this board to get ideas for designing her very own SUP board (see the photo at left).
"Need a Plane Ticket Stat."
To feed her wanderlust cravings, Susie created this board
for potential travel destinations.
“Travel is good for the soul,” says Susie, who’s considering Thailand for her next
international getaway. “The greatest gift you can give yourself is to see other cultures
and other places. Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer.”
"Workin’ On My Fitness."
This board is peppered with pins about yoga poses and
weight training.
“I have no problem with running — I’m strange like that — but I struggle with lifting
weights and stretching,” Susie admits. “Pinterest helps me change up my workout to
keep from getting bored.”

Lunchtime?
Think outside the box
What we’re
pinning
Have you ever opened your daughter’s lunch bag after school only to find
that she ate just the jelly side of her PB&J? Or maybe you’ve wondered, a
little too deeply, what goes into those cafeteria sloppy Joes. If so, maybe
it’s time to up your school lunch game.
Follow these sure-fire tips for packing a healthy lunch even the pickiest
eaters will appreciate.
Make lunch look fun.
Sure,
sandwiches can be made into
terrific shapes, but get creative
and pick a different entrée.
Try this:
Send the fixings for
lettuce wraps, such as leftover
grilled chicken, black beans, and
shredded cheese. And with the
right accessories, a boiled egg
makes a fun snowman.
Pick a theme.
Does your kid fixate
on a particular topic, say dinosaurs?
Or maybe he loves a specific
character, book, or movie. Work
that into the design.
Try this:
Use a black marker to
turn a banana into a
Despicable
Me
minion, or top a peeled
mandarin with a pea for
Cinderella’s pumpkin.
