Top 50 Parents on Pinterest 2012
Pinterest is the new mecca for us creative types. Love decorating? There are boards for that. Love books? You can showcase your favorites. Need style/fashion/life inspiration? You’ll find it all. Spending time on this site brings us back to the days of making collages and dream boards, and we’re not ashamed to say we’re obsessed. Whether you’re already pinning to win or haven’t taken the plunge yet, these 50 parents (see the full list here) will wow and entertain you with their boards — we know this because we follow them (and think you should too). When choosing our favorite 50 parents on Pinterest, we focused on the overall quality of their page, not solely on how many followers or boards they have. Are their boards engaging? Helpful? Unique? Like any major list, it was extremely difficult to narrow it down, so please, if we forgot someone you love please nominate him or her here. Happy Pinning! — Amy Levin-Epstein & Dara Pettinelli

The What’s What: Amy’s Pinterest page features some of her own creations, plus pins from others that reflect her rustic and quirky aesthetic. “Me Likey” has a variety of interesting picks, from a homemade wire six-pack carrier to instructions on how to do a newsprint manicure. And if you are looking for a purse you won’t see anywhere else, head on over to “Products I Love” and behold, the totally utilitarian cross shoulder satchel that’s shaped … like a bird. Spending time on her page you’ll get the sense that you’re in her home sharing drinks and laughs together — it’s personal, fun, and inspiring.
The Mama: Amy’s company, Little Alouette, makes gorgeous wooden toys, from teething rings to rocking horses. It was the “first baby” she conceived with her husband — a carpenter. The non-toxic toys, made from locally sourced materials, were no doubt hits with her two kids — and will be with yours, too.
