Pinterest Makes Me Feel Like a Lazy Mom
How many of you are familiar with Pinterest? I discovered this highly addictive site a few months ago and have been racking up all kinds of adorable kid crafts and recipes that I would love to do with my kids. I recently realized that Pinterest is just a way for me to create a long list of things I'd like to do but will never realistically have time to accomplish. It makes me feel like I'm a lazy mother when I see how much more all these other moms are doing with their kids. My kids are lucky if I can get out a coloring book and crayons every once in awhile. Maybe I'll read them a book or help Finnegan do his homework, but that's about it! What do these Pinterest moms DO all day? Do they have someone who does their laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking for them? Certainly they don't work. There is no way I could have the time to do all of these cute little crafts and still get my usual "chores" done. That being said, the fact that some moms actually do this stuff makes me feel like my kids are being cheated out of a wonderful childhood if I don't do it too. So I continue to pin these crafts and recipes to my Pinterest pin boards and I never actually do any of them! My goal is to do at least ONE Pinterest inspired craft or recipe with my kids each week. To prove that I have done it, I will post about that craft here on the blog. I have no clue when I'll have time for this, but I am going to give it my best effort! This way I can ease some of my guilt (oh and build some good memories with my kids in the process...)!
