    My Love Affair with Instagram

    By Stacy 48 Comments

    I have now been on instagram for over a year  BUT  I only recently have  been using it on a regular basis and I have fallen in love! It is my new favorite social media :)

    I am such a visual person that I love to scroll through and just see pictures. And it is so easy to click "like" as I go.

    I share all sorts of things there.

    Pretty things.....

    pretty

    And not so pretty things.

    the ugly

    My favorite new thing is to show the "behind the scenes" and sneak peeks of my DIY projects.

    behind the scenes

    I share my family......

    family

    And how we live.

    And what is instagram without a few selfies? (I actually don't have very many and most of the ones I do have I look like "the people of Walmart")

    And sometimes I get to go to fun places and meet famous people. And then I smile so hard it looks weird. Good times :)

    So if you are on Instagram, I would love for you to follow along! I have lots of behind the scene stuff coming up!!!

      I agree with you 100% Instagram is awesome! I love following you on your blog, but through Instagram life is shared in "real time" and you don't have to write up a blog post to share with everyone. Your always so inspiring to me and just love following you. Would love for you to follow me on Instagram at andreaourbluefrontdoor. Have a great week

      My instagram thingy is: LifeInTheBigCity I dont comment a whole whole lot on here but I did want to take the chance to say that I love just about everything you do on the blog and other social media. If I only have a little bit of time to read a blog, yours is the one I go to every time. Thanks for showing us that you dont have to be rich to have a nice house or furnishings but that a little hard work and creativity goes a long way!

      I love following your account! You're pics are so vivid and refreshing and you have an adorable fam :) the main reason I love Instagram is that being a stay at home mom I don't feel very connected to the world and it lets me keep up with friends and family :) and often I get inspired to craft more too! My insta name is ljdennett if you'd like to follow me!

      The "people of Walmart" must look better where you live than here...because you do NOT look like a person of Walmart, lol!
      Even with your construction gear on, you're always way more stylish!

      I love seeing your backyard/garden pics! I have a tiny, postage-stamp sized yard....so have to get really creative with our space. I have plans to re-do my side yard soon. Planning to take out the rose bushes (which I have no idea how to prune well, so they always just look unkempt) and want to plant 3 grape vines trellising up the fence(researching which kind to plant), with English lavender planted in between (possibly in terra-cotta pots).
