Pinterest Super Mom

[veganontuesdays]

What are some of your favorite pinterest supermom ideas that you have every intention of doing but in reality will probably forget/get too busy/too tired/or it's plain unrealistic.

Mine:

That one where you set up the email account for your child and email them pictures and memories of them growing up and then give them the password on their 18th birthday. I could see myself doing this for about a year.

I can scroll on pinterest for hours and pin the shit out of some cool ideas knowing that I am too lazy to accomplish any of them... I get brownie points for at least pinning it though right? The great intention was there!

I sort of do this. I write my DD letters and put them in a binder. The first one was from when I was 37 weeks pregnant. I used to do it every month but it has dwindled down to a few times a year. I still like doing it though and have started one for DS. 

One of the reasons I keep up with it is so I can remember information. I ask my mom questions about me growing up (what time I was born, when I first lost a tooth, etc) and she's like "I have no idea, that was so long ago.". So it's nice to write it down and be able to look back when I can't remember! 

My mom wrote me a letter every year on my birthday about what happened that year. She gave them to me when I turned 18. I think a few were missing but it was pretty damn cool to read through them.

Crocheting this baby blanket. I started it this weekend and realized it might take me longer than I thought.

I have so many of these things pinned...I probably won't do any. I mean I had a chalkboard all ready for weekly bump pics and I made it to week 15...starting at week 8 (which I know what not a "bump" yet).

Yes. I literally stopped with the weekly pics before I even had a bump. What gives man! Every once in awhile my H will try and get a quick side shot soooo I guess that counts. O.o

This blanket is gorgeous! Definitely looks like too much work for me. GL!

I tried to do the "365 days of pics" thing for DD and I only made it to the end of April. It's great idea but a pic everyday is harder than you think! I would forget 1 day out of a week and feel guilty, so I stopped.

I started a baby book for this reason exactly! My mom changes her answer to everything every time I ask her something regarding when something happened (naturally so... She did have 9 of us after all. I can't imagine having to remember all those facts). She did baby books for all of us, and I love going through it and seeing all my milestones as a baby.

Thank you ladies. I'm going to need all that luck. This is all I've done so far...

I think if I went back through all my boards I wouldn't recognise half of the pins. I'm a pin whore but never use them or even view my boards!

It's going to be so pretty! Make sure you post a picture when you're done, I want to see the finished product.

You can be sure I'm going to AW the shit out of the blanket WHEN I finish it! Now I'm all pumped up again!

Those look great! And you definitely got a LOT farther than I would have had the patience for. Nice job.

Not so much for baby-related things, but I wanted to take a picture of my husband and I every year on our anniversary. I got the first year, and that's it.

We'll be married five years in July. Oh well.

I was going to make him cute felt food for his kitchen. I even bought wool felt in all the right colors off Etsy. lolololololololololol Who has time for stuff like this? Apparently a lot of moms because people repin the crap out of all my felt food tutorial pins.


I did do monthly photos with a cute little set up every month for the first year. It was the biggest pain and I hated it, but I stuck it out. I love those photos now. It motivates me to continue doing photos for this baby too.

I got this birthday q&a from pinterest. Starting at age 3 you ask the same list of questions on each birthday. So far so good. Although, dd turned 4 in October and I just remembered to do the question thing last month.

The Type A me gets such satisfaction from seeing this, especially the drawers. I have the feeling that if I ever did get around to doing this, it would last for less than a week before I give up on it totally and just start shoving stuff.

Mine:

I have actually started this with DS and DD will get her first signature this year from her preschool teacher. It's pretty easy actually, I just leave it in his homework folder toward the end of school or hand it to his teacher on May Day with a little note attached asking them to write a short note inside. I'm excited to continue it!

I pinned that one too and so far i've forgotten to do it every single year Maybe one year i'll remember. It would be such a cool thing to have!

I'm already failed at weekly chalkboard bump pics with this baby.

I'm going to try and do monthly chalkboard pics for the first year. We will see how that goes.

I think it would be really neat to write letters to your LO and give them to them. But I can see an 18 year old boy not giving a flying crap about any of them. It would probably be more for myself than anything.

We got "Oh the Places You'll Go" and wrote in it for Addie. It was when we very first found out we were pregnant. So we didn't know the sex yet or anything. It's incredibly painful to look at and will be put away when this baby gets here. Hopefully we can do something like this for him too. He would probably never know if we didn't.

This is such a cute idea. DD is in Kindergarten, so it's not too late.  We'll see if I can keep it up.

That's awesome! I'm doing that with DD too, and plan on doing it with all my kids.  I bawled like a baby when I wrote the letter for DD's 1st birthday

[kgnordman]

I know this mom that has written in a journal every day since she found out she was pregnant with her kids and has continued to do so since they've been born. She then is going to give it to them when they turn 18. Does it make me a bad person that my first thought was "if my mom gave me a journal when I was 18 of my daily events, I'd say 'thanks mom' and never read it?"

[limad]

I plan on making scrapbooks for all my kids, but haven't started on DD's yet....I guess in a way it's probably good I waited a year before starting or I would have had a hundred pages of every picture I took that first year. So, I do hope I start and continue that for them.

[snapdragon]

I love the email and oh the places you'll go ideas, but in the end I might end up with 6 kids and I refuse to start anything with DD1 that I don't intend to repeat 6 times.

I do photobooks, a toddler handprint keepsake, and a letter to each of them shortly after they were born.

[lezzie82]

I just looked at my Pinterest page and it's all wedding hair dos and soup recipes lmao!

Mine:

This is a super cute idea while your child is in elementary school, but once they hit middle school and have a teacher per subject, I can see trying to track down 6 teachers every year being a huge hassle.

[queenrichie]

Pretty much the only thing I use pinterest for is for yummy recipes.

Maybe that will change once baby comes?
