Yay! I finally got started on my Mommy Book. This is for storing all the awesome ideas I find on Pinterest and blogs. So far I have the following categories:
Babies and Toddlers
Outdoor Activities
Rainy Day Activities
Fun Snacks & Kid friendly recipes
Discipline and Parenting tips
Baby Food recipes
Science experiments
Travel
Charts and Printables
**UPDATE: I now use the mommy book to store all the fun IDEAS for motherhood, and I use my filing cabinet for fun RESOURCES for motherhood. So, things that I want to REFERENCE (activity ideas, recipes, tips, traditions, etc) go in the book, and things I want to USE (printables, chore charts, games, etc) go in the filing cabinet. This has been the easiest way for me to keep track of all the fun ideas I find on Pinterest that I don’t want to forget about. I’ve found that “pinning” things to boards is not as productive for me because I never do anything with it. Now, if it’s something I know I will use…I try to print it or save it to my computer right as I find it.
Any other categories that would be fun to add? What are your favorite “mommy blogs” for getting your inspiration? My goal is to have this book done before child #2 so that hopefully I have more time on my hands to just play with my kids and enjoy the journey of motherhood. What are your favorite memories with your children?

Just found your blog via Pinterest and love your ideas! I’d love a little more info on how you compile/keep your Mommy Book. Do you print the actual items you want to try or just keep lists? Can we see some photos of the inside?? How do you decide what goes in this and what goes in the file cabinet?
I recently started creating a home management binder and am thinking maybe I will combine these two ideas…
Thanks!
Katie
Katie, I’ll send you an email with a few more details 🙂
Would you be willing to please send me the same details? I’d really appreciate it. I adore this idea of yours and think it could help me a lot!
Thanks,
Jenn.
Of course Jenn! I’ll send you some details when we get back in town on fri or sat. Happy 4th of July! 🙂
