Ten favorite kid Pinterest pins... for this week, at least

I can't get enough of Pinterest.  Finally, a way to actually remember all those cool ideas you come across when you are aimlessly surfing the internet.  I could only possibly love it more if I had been the one to come up with it.  Seriously, how much rich are those people now?

My favorite things to pin are ideas for my daughter, whether for decorating her room, crafts, food to make with her, or gift ideas. 

 I love this idea for a Valentine's craft.  I tend to immediately recycle magazines, but if I'm willing to sacrifice current issues, I think I can do this.

 My daughter would love this bracelet set for two reasons.  One, she loves jewelry.  Two, she loves anything for her Bitty Twin doll, Sarah. And three (yeah, I know I said two, but this just came to me), we could make it together and she loves crafts.

These cupcakes are amazing for a little girl like mine who thinks Minnie is the bestest.  We haven't done a big birthday party for Paityn yet since we don't live near family, but I think we will this year.  And I will make these cupcakes and be the favorite mama in the world.  Maybe even the universe.

And she can wear this perfectly adorable dress.  Because if there's anything Paityn loves, it's dressing up like Minnie Mouse.

I saw this on The Pleated Poppy and loved it immediately.  I must get on making one of these.  I think it is so very important to be clear with expectations rather than making them up as you go along.  And this is such a cute non-nagging way of displaying them.

I adore this bookshelf and asked my Dad to make one for Paityn.  He said he will.  And I believe him.  I think he's just paitently waiting for me to put together the cradle he sent her in October.  

I promise, Dad, I'll get to it tonight.  Maybe.

But I still want that bookshelf. 

And you're right, I do understand now why so many projects slipped through the cracks when I was young.  I really hate it when you are right and I'm wrong.

How great is this idea for kid's snacks?  I love it!  I'm going to do one and put it in the very bottom drawer of the fridge, which is an area that never gets used anyway because I always forget about the stuff way down there.

Although I am now wondering if that makes it a bad idea to put it there.  Conundrum.

These make my mouth water.  And on top of that, they are beautiful to look at, too.  Paityn hasn't met a fruit she doesn't like. (Except tomatoes, but since people usually think of those as vegetables, I'm going to ignore that one.)  Now to find some kid-safe kaboby type sticks.

I already keep a journal for Paityn (that I don't write in nearly often enough, but I think this blog counts in part, too) but this is a great idea for those cute things kids say.

Paityn had one the other day when Papa, in a rare move, cooked.  He made scrambled eggs (his specialty- really, they are amazing).  Paityn took a bite and said, "Mmm.  Much better than I expected."
