    Ladies, there's a new Pinterest in town. And it's not for you! The site's called Manteresting, and yeah, it's pretty much the same thing as Pinterest -- only it's for dudes.

    Aside from the fact that Manteresting is a hilarious name/concept, at first, I was like, "Why's there another Pinterest for bros only?" But then I logged onto Pinterest and went, "Oh yeah ..."

    Pinterest, land of DIY crazy nails and all things chevron, has undergone a few changes recently, and unsurprisingly, it's made the awesome site all the more awesome.

    Come on, fellow pinner, let's discuss and then swap non-toxic homemade crayon recipes!

    Oh Pinterest! I'm addicted to you and all your pretty pictures. Your recipes, your crafts, your hot Ryan Gosling photos. 

    But lately, you've been really annoying me and I'm falling out of love at a rapid pace.

    And yes, I realize that it's not really your fault but rather all the Pinterest users who feel the need to pin ridiculous crap.

    So if you're on Pinterest like me, listen up, and stop ticking off your followers.

    About a year ago I wrote a mother-in-law-nup (MIL-nup), so that one could comfortably hand their sweet boy over to some son-stealing Jezebel. Clearly, I'm still bitter, but it made me realize that there should be "nups" for lots of things.

    Like email and social networking. I'm not talking about the spammers who seem quite certain I have a small penis, I'm lonely, I could use Prozac and Cialis, and I should get said drugs from Canada.

    No, I can forgive the Internets, but what I cannot forgive is the annoying emails and Facebook requests from my supposed friends and family. You guys are on shaky ground, which is why I've written this "e-nup," and I say everyone signs!

    I hereby decree that:

    Ever since I quit Facebook, I've become obsessed with Pinterest. Obsessed. I've had an account for a while now, but rarely logged on since I was always, well, on Facebook. Now, in between writing posts for The Stir, or after I put my daughter to bed, I'll hop onto the crafty/DIY/inspiration site, and get to pinning. I've even done some of the crafts and made some of the recipes! Pinterest rules! (In case you haven't noticed, I like to be a year behind the times. I'm cool like that.) Anyway, since I'm now a self-proclaimed Pinterest expert -- and a mom -- I thought I'd share some of my favorite boards with you. Here are 5 Pinterest boards every mom needs to follow.

    Apparently, the odds are actually kind of high that if you're spending some quality time in the restroom, you're doing more than just, ahem, you know. According to a new study just released from Nielsen about Americans' social media behavior, a third of those between the ages of 18 and 24 are logged into social networking sites while in the bathroom.

    And not just while standing in line waiting your turn in a public restroom. The study shows that we're social networking all the time, and that, really, nothing is sacred anymore. Nothing.

    It seems like every day there's a new social network asking us to set up new profiles, find new friends, and spend hours of our time puttering around on the Internet. Most of the new kids don't stick. (Google+, it would seem, isn't even popular with people who actually work at Google.) But there's one that might just be a great idea.

    Check out Favery, a social network that takes Pinterest's pinboard idea and lets your friends weigh in. You can create boards with ideas and ask friends to vote on which they like best. Everything from nursery decorating ideas and the cutest holiday outfit to planning a baby shower can now become interactive.

    It's a Christmas miracle. Now not everything you pin is public. Just in time for the holidays, Pinterest has finally changed the rules and will begin to let users make private pinboards.

    Who doesn't love Pinterest? I've got a board dedicated to things I dream of cooking someday. I pin rooms in faraway homes that I'd love to curl up in with a good book. I pin whimsical scarves with horses on them, handbags I'd never be willing to shell out that much cash for, and now I can do it without letting you all know what I secretly covet. Sweet.

    Starting today, Pinterest is rolling out a test that will give users the ability to create three secret boards.
