Pacha The Mama Llama – Book Review

lilsugar

Pacha The Mama Llama is a classic story about a mom and her two babies and their journey as they migrate from Peru to Machu Picchu. A classic take that can be passed on for generations to come, with emphasis on the trials that mothers face when trying to keep their children’s best interest at heart. As a mother of two children myself, finding a personal connection to this story wasn’t hard. Although the story is about immigration, it is east to relate to the context overall as hardships that…

Haters Gonna Hate – Pink Slams Internet Trolls For This Pic Of Her Kids

lilsugar

The originally uncensored photo of Pink and her children feeding a Pelican has had social media in a twist these past few days. Seems critics are out again and bashing the starlet for not just posting a photo of her child naked but some are even criticising the fact that he may or may not be circumcised. Yes, perhaps better judgement should have been taken when posting the photo but come-on, this is a kid we are talking about. Let’s face it, as a parents we are all aware of…

Let The Kids Decide What They Wear – Even If It Kills You

lilsugar

Long are the days when my kids would have perfectly matched outfits, socks and accessories to complement. When the boys were little I used to stress over what they’d wear the next day and even pack for events in advance just so that even their PJ’s would be in model form when we went out. I made them little reflections of who I wanted them to be, even spent more on their wardrobes then I could ever imagine for my own. I still could put all of my energy into…

Abercrombie & Fitch Erasing Gender Stereotypes

lilsugar

In January, Abercrombie Kids introduced it’s new gender neutral clothing line called The Everybody Collection (#Everybodycollection) and word on the street is that they are ready to add to it with a very special partnership. Fashionista Giuliana Rancic and her six-year-old son Duke’s inspired collection is said to debut April 2019 and I can’t wait! I have always been a big supporter of helping children find their way without bombarding them with gender specific clothing, toys or accessories. Both of my boys were raised this way and I am passionate about…

Simple Valentine Dinner Ideas Your Kids Will LOVE

lilsugar

Everyone wants to be the Pinterest mom, the woman who brings it all together for every single occasion with little to no effort. Truth is, it is nearly impossible to pull everyday off with the Martha Stewart flair we all long to have. Some people just have  the ‘it’ factor and some just seem to fake it easily. I am the latter, I pretty much take the easy way out of celebrations and I tend to do it with ease because I focus on the things that (in my opinion)…

Parenting Before The Internet

lilsugar

The personal narrative of our lives is nearly impossible to control anymore and it looks like the simple reason for it lies in our investment in the internet. I am not saying that we don’t have control over our lives but parenting in particular has changed over the years since our reliance on the world-wide web. Most people would agree that the internet has made our children lazier, and some may even go as far to say that they are not as polite as they once were. So many negatives…

It’s Lice Season! Should Parents Of Kids With Lice Keep Them Home From School?

lilsugar

Parents of school-aged kids, buckle up! It’s that time of year again and letters have been sent home to students all across the globe – yes, lice is on the prowl once again! Some schools have adopted no-nit policy requires students with any signs of lice to be sent home after a routine check up during class. Common-sense, yes…keeping the bugs from spreading onto our littles as much as possible. Some believe that this policy is ridiculous since lice lives on many surfaces so removing a single child wouldn’t do much…

Halloween Candy Alternatives The Kids Will LOVE!

lilsugar

It’s true, Halloween candy remains the most popular choice for kids hands down. However, there are plenty of parents (like myself) who prefer for their children to get a variety of fun alternatives on October 31st. With the rise of allergies and food sensitives it is important to take into consideration the children who cannot consume candy and chocolates alone as a treat come Halloween night. Aside from the allergens, there is also the over consumption of chocolate and candy that parents indulge in too – I see you late…

P!NK Makes The Most Beautiful Cover Issue And I Have Something To Say About It

lilsugar

When you look at the most recent cover of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful issue I can’t help but notice that it is different then the issues that came before it. It’s evolved, the middle boasts an imperfect accomplished singer Pink along side her adorable children – vastly odd considering the previous ones were adorned by Photoshopped versions of thought of celebrities who stood alone and graced the covers like ornaments to the type set along side them. Pink is mom to her two kids Jameson Moon, 15 months, and Willow Sage, 6½,…
