Aesthetics vs. Getting the job done

I love pinterest. It is a great resource for ideas. For example,
when you need a creative solution for a children's book shelf, there it is at your fingertips!

However, I have found that great ideas might be just that: only ideas. When actually put into practice, they just don't work the way you anticipated. Like, activities for toddlers. Or, projects that require many $$$ and hours of time, that could be done quickly and cheaply if you just buy it at Walmart.

I'm continually learning about what to do and what not to do as a mother. And something I've learned: sometimes, it is important to be creative and to do things just the way you dream of it happening. And at other times, it's important to just get the job done and to move on to the next thing needing to be done, instead of worrying about making it visually appealing.
