Dear Fellow Crafty Moms,
Let’s come together! You might have anticipated a critique of Pinterest, crafting, or the idea of making our children’s lives extraordinary. But that’s not the case here. This message is for you, my fellow Pinterest enthusiast. I appreciate you because I resonate with you. Yes, I admit it: I’m a Pinterest mom, and I take great pride in that. I not only pin creative ideas; I execute them.
Here’s the truth: I don’t engage in these activities to impress others, nor do I aim to make other mothers feel less capable. In fact, I don’t even do it primarily for my children’s sake. It’s even more delightful than that—I do it because I enjoy it!
Indeed, we Pinterest moms thrive in this space because it brings us joy. We love crafting, decorating, cooking, and throwing parties. We relish creating things simply for the fun of it. When we share our crafts, baking, or party ideas, it’s not meant for the non-Pinterest moms who might not appreciate it. We’ve seen the articles labeling us as show-offs, claiming we’re trying too hard. We understand that our posts might not resonate with everyone, but that’s perfectly fine since we’re not posting for you. It’s for us—our own enjoyment.
Let me reiterate: PINTEREST MOMS UNITE. We want to celebrate creativity! We want to see what innovative projects others have made with everyday items like clothespins and twigs. Show us that fondant cake! Who knows, we might just find inspiration for our next adventure. That looks like FUN, and that’s precisely why we do it.
Our joy doesn’t stem from creating magic or being superior mothers; we simply embrace our crafty sides. We were creative before we became parents, and we’ll remain so after our kids grow up. Having little partners in crafting is just the cherry on top!
If crafting, cooking, or baking isn’t your thing, that’s entirely okay. We Pinterest moms are not here to judge. My own mother never engaged in those activities with me, and look at me now—I’m a crafting enthusiast! So, if you’re concerned about your kids missing out, feel free to toss some craft supplies their way, or simply let them explore the outdoors (there are always twigs!).
It’s important to note that there’s no competition here; we’re not in a race. We’re just enjoying ourselves in our unique ways. If your family finds joy in singing together or any other activities, embrace it! I promise I won’t feel inadequate because of it. Personally, I’d rather not participate in that type of fun.
For anyone interested in exploring home insemination, one excellent resource is this podcast that discusses IVF and fertility preservation. Additionally, you might want to check out this home intracervical insemination syringe kit for anyone considering at-home insemination methods.
In summary, as Pinterest moms, we take pride in our creativity and the joy it brings us. We’re not competing; we’re simply enjoying sharing our passions.
