OK moms - I need your help! I know there are a handful of you reading this blog, and maybe more, but I simply can't tell. And . . . this blog was never intended to be for me. I started it because I truly have a passion for moms of young children and the unique and challenging phase of life that it is. So . . . if you are reading this, I would truly love your input. What kinds of topics are you most interested in? I'm willing to put time into just about anything if I believe it is helping someone, so even if I don't have my own experiences to rely on and share with you, I'll look into and offer any info I can to help. Some ideas: recipes, keep kids engaged, toy/game reviews, education . . . I'm sure you have more ideas. And if you don't have any feedback/ideas, and you are following/enjoying the blog, please let me know that too. I don't know how much I will continue it if I don't feel it is really helping anyone. Thank you!
But for now, I will tell you that one of the primary ways I keep my sanity is through crafts. For awhile I was scrapbooking, but I have sort of fizzled out on that and have (as many of you have) discovered pinterest. I love it!!! My amazing friend Sarah has been teaching me so many basics that should keep me occupied for a very long time. I am including a picture of something I made today, and if you are reading this blog, and your last name starts with E, you may have a gift coming your way . . . :) Here is a pic:
I borrowed the idea from pinterest and then put my own twist on it. If you are interested in the details of how to put this together, let me know!
I'd love kid-friendly recipes that are interesting for adults or could be made interesting for adults. Like I make my kids plain pork chops with melted cheese but for my boyfriend and I, I add sauteed onions and granny smith apples. His kids are super picky and don't like meat much. It's really hard to find stuff everyone (4 kids, 2 adults) likes. Very cute craft, love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you are doing with this blog. I find it so interesting and inspiring to read. I'm not a new mom, however, it's great to get some fresh ideas and new things to try, as well as simply see how someone else is doing this mom-thing! I really like the activities and easy craft ideas you post. I hope you can keep it going and that it is a benefit to others. I would have loved this as a brand new mom!
