Dear fellow Pinterest Moms,
Let’s come together! You might have thought this would be another critique of Pinterest, a diatribe against crafting, or a dismissal of our efforts to create “magical” moments for our children. But that’s not the case here.
This message is for you, my fellow Pinterest enthusiasts. I genuinely appreciate you, because I am just like you. Yes, I admit it: I’m a Pinterest Mom, and I take pride in it. Not only do I pin ideas, I bring them to life.
But here’s the twist—I don’t do it for validation, nor do I aim to make other mothers feel less than. Honestly, it’s not even about my kids, either. I craft and create because it brings me joy.
That’s right! We Pinterest Moms embrace our identity because we enjoy it. We love to craft, decorate, cook, and plan parties. We find joy in making things, simply for fun.
When we share our creations—be it crafts, baked goods, or themed parties—it’s not a bid for approval from those who aren’t into Pinterest. We understand that not everyone loves what we do, and that’s perfectly fine. We don’t post for the skeptics; we share for ourselves.
So let’s rally together, Pinterest Moms! We want to celebrate creativity. We love seeing incredible ideas, from DIY projects with clothespins to stunning cakes adorned with fondant. Maybe we’ll even try replicating those ideas! That looks like FUN.
We’re here to enjoy the process, not to fabricate perfection or compete. We’re not better mothers; we’re just crafty ones. We were creating before our children came along, and we’ll continue to do so when they grow up. And we love having little helpers by our sides.
If you don’t engage in crafting or baking with your kids, that’s okay. It doesn’t diminish your parenting skills. My own mother didn’t craft much with me, yet here I am, a crafting enthusiast! So, don’t worry if you feel like your kids are missing out—offer them some supplies or a few twigs, and they’ll figure it out.
It’s not a contest; we’re simply enjoying ourselves in our own ways. If your family has different hobbies, embrace them. Share your musical moments on social media without fear of comparison. Personally, I’d rather avoid that kind of attention!

In summary, being a Pinterest Mom is about finding joy in creativity and sharing that joy with others. We’re not competing; we’re simply enjoying our passions and inviting others to join in, if they wish.
