If you're anything like me, you have about a gazillion pins on Pinterest and about a gazillion minus two of them are things you've never done and will never do. In actuality, I have 665 pins at the time of writing this post, which sounds like a lot, but I know there are some nut cases who have a legit million pins.

I thought I would gather up some of the Pinterest goodies I have actually attempted to make, eat, do, or wear and let you know how they turned out.

Baby Stuff

Baby Onesie Monthly Printables - I printed them all out and I did take monthly pictures of Eli wearing them...for the first three months of his life. It was a good idea. I just completely forgot to do it in month four and then it was like, what is the point of continuing this? But it was easy and cheap and I recommend it to someone who even remotely has their shit together.

Closet Organizers - did this and loved it. In the beginning you get a ton of little outfits of different sizes and this was a neat way to keep Eli's clothes organized.

Superhero Alphabet Sampler - I ordered this pattern from Etsy. It is a work in progress but it's coming along well!

See? Progress. I should be finished by the time he's 17.

DIY Valentine Cards - I did these with Eli for his grandparents and it was a disaster! With a bigger kid it would probably be have been easier, but it's kind of hard to tell a three-month old to flatten his hand out and put it in the paint. The handprints looked more like blood splatters.

Food

Easy Pad Thai - Yes, yes, yes! Made this and loved it and it is actually really easy and quick and doesn't require any crazy ingredients.

Cookie Dough Popsicles - No, no, no. But I also used plain old skim milk and I've heard almond milk is way better. Worth another try.

Baked Oatmeal Casserole - This was a favourite! I made it with blueberries and bananas and ate it for breakfast for a week.

Reese's Peanut Butter Bars - Really easy and really good. Peter even liked them and he's the fussiest about desserts.

Summer Vegetable Pasta Salad - Winner. Bring it to a picnic or potluck. It's really pretty as well as delicious!

Cream Egg Brownies - Made these at Easter and while the finished product was delicious, it was suuuuper time consuming. I feel like these took eight hours of hard labour to make. But they do taste pretty much like cream eggs!

Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte - No thank you. Just go to Starbucks.

Crafts

Glitter Christmas Ornaments - These are absolutely foolproof and they look lovely on your tree. Seriously...an old man could do this craft.

White Flowered Christmas Ornaments - We have these all over our Christmas tree now too. A little more time consuming than the glitter balls, but still a total TV craft.

DIY Workout Shirt - This one was a success if you call making the world's sluttiest workout shirt a win. It looked like one of Wil's tank tops from Big Brother.



Like, I don't even wear it to the gym, it's that hootch. Only to work out in the basement.
