I keep seeing articles saying, \u201cI\u2019m not a Pinterest<\/a> Mom, but I\u2019m still enough\u2026\u201d Or articles bashing the \u2018Pinterest Mom\u2019 in general. I feel a little hurt every time I read these kinds of things. I know they\u2019re saying it in solidarity- like, \u201chey, we don\u2019t have to be perfect and that\u2019s okay!\u201d<\/p>\n

But, sometimes I am a Pinterest Mom, and that\u2019s okay too.<\/h5>\n

I find joy in planning themed parties and making the fun decorations. I always say feeding people is my second love language. I love being the hostess!<\/p>\n

But, that doesn\u2019t make me think I am better than you.<\/h5>\n

I am still a Mom that feels insecure about so many other things. So, sometimes I am hurt when people roll their eyes because I may have spent hours planning my son\u2019s themed party (I\u2019ve planned some mega-laid back ones as well<\/a>) or went a little crazy on the snacks for book club. That\u2019s just who I am.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One of my best friends is great at playing messy games with her kids and letting them get their hands dirty. The thought of being so carefree makes me feel super anxious. So, we leave the messy games up to her. She hosts the BEST playdates!<\/p>\n

I have another friend who is great at pouring into kids- she\u2019s so patient and understanding. And another Mom who is so very artistic it blows my mind the things she comes up with.<\/p>\n

We are ALL given special talents as Mothers. The best thing we can do is to surround ourselves with other Mothers with different talents. Then we can have this tribe raising our children together- sharing all of our wonderful gifts.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a sometimes Pinterest Mom like me, that\u2019s great! If that is so not your thing<\/em>, that\u2019s great too.<\/p>\n

I will never think less of you, if that\u2019s not who you are.<\/h5>\n

Let\u2019s just all stop being judgmental and embrace each other\u2019s unique skills. As Moms, raising kids is the hardest job we\u2019ll ever have.So let\u2019s give each other a hand instead of rolling our eyes behind each other\u2019s backs.<\/p>\n
