Hello to all my fellow Pinterest Moms!
You might have expected me to dive into a critique of Pinterest or bash crafting and the quest for creating “magical” moments for our children. But that’s not the case here! This message is for you, my fellow Pinterest enthusiasts. You see, I genuinely appreciate you because I am one of you. Yes, I admit it: I’m a proud Pinterest Mom! Not only do I pin creative ideas, but I actively bring them to life.
And here’s the twist: I don’t do this to impress anyone or to make other moms feel less than. Honestly, it’s not even about my kids, either. It’s much simpler: I do it because I genuinely enjoy it.
That’s right! We, the Pinterest Moms, are here because crafting, decorating, cooking, and throwing parties is what brings us joy. We love making things just for the fun of it!
When we share our creations, it’s not for you, the Non-Pinterest Moms. We understand that not everyone appreciates our passion. We’re aware of the countless articles that label us as show-offs or as overly eager to impress. But let’s be clear: our posts are not aimed at you. They’re for us. It’s our way of celebrating the things we love.
So I shout it again: PINTEREST MOMS, LET’S COME TOGETHER! We want to celebrate all those creative endeavors, from clothespin crafts to whimsical twig projects. Show us that fondant cake you made! We might just get inspired to try our hand at it ourselves. That looks like a blast! And that’s why we do this: for the sheer enjoyment of it.
We are having fun, not fabricating some unattainable ideal. Our dedication to crafts doesn’t make us better moms; it simply makes us crafty moms. We were creating long before our kids arrived, and we will continue to do so as they grow up. Plus, we’re thrilled to have our enthusiastic little helpers in the process.
If crafting or cooking isn’t your thing, that’s perfectly fine! My own mother didn’t engage in these activities with me, and yet here I am, unable to stop crafting. So, there’s no need to worry about your children missing out. If you feel inclined, toss some craft supplies their way, or they can always find twigs to play with!
Remember, this isn’t a competition; we’re simply enjoying ourselves in our own ways. If your family prefers to make music together or engage in other activities, embrace it! Feel free to share those moments online, and I promise, I won’t feel any less because of it.
As a side note, if you’re interested in learning more about pregnancy and home insemination, you can check out this excellent resource: CDC on ART. And if you’re curious about home insemination kits, visit CryoBaby for more information. For further engagement, feel free to explore the insights on our other blog post.
In summary
Let’s continue to celebrate our creativity and passion as Pinterest Moms. We’re not out to compete; we’re merely enjoying the art of crafting and sharing that joy with others.
