Ah, Pinterest—the visually stunning platform that seems to have everyone, even those who have never tweeted or dug, captivated by its perfect, inspiring imagery. It’s easy to see why so many people are drawn to this site, but I’ve decided to step back from it. Why? Because rather than feeling inspired, I often leave feeling inadequate.
I may not be the most creative mom on the block, but after scrolling through Pinterest, I can’t help but feel like a total failure in the craft department. I see people transforming old Ikea bookcases into beautiful play kitchens with their own hands. Meanwhile, my cooking, while delicious, is certainly not worthy of a pin, and my home looks like a tornado hit it compared to those picture-perfect boards.
I can’t be the only one who feels this way, right? So, to help any fellow moms who may also be feeling a little down about their own realities, let me share a few glimpses into my life. Can you guess which ones are mine?
- A cheerful breakfast scene.
- Endless piles of laundry.
- A playroom resembling a war zone.
- A child’s bed covered in frosting.
- A slightly chaotic clothing organization system.
- Arts and crafts that may not have gone as planned.
