Hilarious Mom Who Takes Son’s ‘Monthly Milestone’ Photos Using Pizza Pies Is Parenting Goals

If you are friends with people on Facebook who have recently had children, you know that the first year of a child’s life is filled with photos, photos, and more photos. New parents are obsessed with documenting every moment of the first year—including monthly photos to showcase how much their baby has grown month-to-month. Most parents will try to use cute, creative, and adorable blocks, chairs, signs, and other overpriced items that reveal how many months old their baby is. But, one mom has found a more creative, original, and fantastic way to document the first year of her daughter’s life and its iconic.

Photographer Dani Leigh and her mom wanted to come up with an original way to document her son, Lorenzo’s, first year on this beautiful Earth. When brainstorming, they decided they may as well eat while doing it. And, after that, a beautiful creation was born. Leigh told BoredPanda:

“I knew what I wanted it to look like in my head and while we do have a favorite pizza, I knew we would have to vary it month by month. We really just went down the menu and got whatever our 3-year-old (Lorenzo’s brother, Charlie) would be interested in. We did allow ourselves to get our favorite white pizza three times throughout the project. It did help us branch out though and try a few pizzas we wouldn’t have probably gotten – like pesto and shrimp pizza. And we found that the BBQ Chicken pizza can now be added into our normal rotation – so good! All of the pizzas came from our favorite local place, il Forno.”

The finished product? Obviously, an epic display of adorable baby photos and delicious pizza.

Leigh added that if you’re interested in doing this for your own baby, there’s one big thing you’ll need.

“If you are going to do pizza for your monthly photos, invest in a good pizza cutter because truly no pizza place slices their pizza into 12 slices.”

She also added:

“And invest in family photography because soon enough all your kiddos will be bigger than a pizza box.”

What It Means To Love Each Other, Even When You’re Miles Apart

He’s miles away from you, on the other side of the country, or perhaps, halfway across the world. The distance makes your heart pine for him, even as it pushes you apart. But, love always remains, even as times change and the distance between you increases.

Your love transcends the physical. You wish you could hold each other, hug each other, kiss each other. You long to wrap your hands around each other, to feel your hearts beating in synchronicity as your chests caress each other. But, you discover your connection is richer, more emotional. You no longer need to rely on gentle touches and sweet kisses when you know each other’s souls more deeply than each other’s lips.

Everyday Situations: Expectation Vs Reality

Life and how we live it is never quite as good in reality as it is in our imagination.

In our minds, we can see ourselves galloping through the streets on a magnificent stallion, while in reality, we’re just chugging along in a broken down Mustang.

The Power of Imagination: Our minds are incredible at crafting perfect scenarios. We can conquer fears, achieve amazing feats, and live out our wildest dreams – all without leaving the comfort of our minds.
Reality’s Limits: Unfortunately, the real world has limitations. Horses might be replaced by cars (even if they’re broken down Mustangs!), and conquering fears often involves real effort.
The Bridge Between: Here’s the good news: Imagination doesn’t have to be a foe. It can be a powerful tool!
- Goal Setting: Use your imagination to visualize your ideal life – what does success look like for you? Then,bridge the gap by setting realistic goals that move you closer to that vision.
- Fueling Creativity: Imagine yourself solving problems, creating art, or performing well. When you imagine success, you can prime your brain for actual achievement.
Finding Joy in the Journey: Sometimes, the “broken down Mustang” can be an unexpected adventure. Focus on appreciating the present moment, even if it’s not exactly what you envisioned.
