Since starting the pinterest series with my toddler I have also try and put pinterest to the test before hand. I love the series I'm doing, and would love to include what I do, try, and what I have done. Well back when I was pregnant, pinterest was my go to for ideas for my baby shower and two ideas I got:
#1: Were getting children books and use them as a guest book for my guest at my baby shower to sign. I didn't have a normal guest book I had 6 books. No need to make an expense on book I got my books from half price bookstore for a good price. We also had a note so they could know that these were my guest book and many of our guest love this idea. Even almost two years later I share this idea and they still love it. Plus when I read a bedtime stores to my son I could read to him what his loved ones wrote once he understand.
#2: Another idea I got was everyone worry about the mommy and baby during the pregnancy, and no one worries about daddy. Well I saw this idea on pinterest I knew I had to put it to the test. The idea was a daddy's survival kit for during the pregnancy and of course the hospital stay. I got his favorites snacks, put a note on the outside explaining what each snack stand for, and a bucket from the dollar tree. My husband didn't see this until after we open all the gifts during the baby shower as I stated it was a gift from me to him. He read the note out loud and if I heard correctly his voice crack as he was reading the note....which means he loved the gift I made for him.
Two pinterest projects I put to the test and both were a success! Also thanks to Connie at momma of dos for telling me to write about these two ideas, to help future mommies to be with some ideas.
Stay tuned for more of my pinterest series!!
