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…

Carlton Cards Father’s Day Giveaway!

    Fathers Day has always been super special to me because I was born the day after it and over the years I have kind of claimed it as my own personal gift to (in my opinion) the greatest man on the planet. Every single year I struggle to find the perfect card for the man who has set all of my expectations through the roof and standards above any average imaginable. Every year I write paragraphs after paragraphs about how much he means to me and yet the…

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,…

A Good Man Walks Among Strong Women – Lessons For My Sons

lilsugar

Studies have shown that girls as young as six are influenced by gender stereotypes, and that role models from the entertainment they chose can have a lasting effect.  What about the boys? Do gender stereotypes focused on female leads send the same influence to their male counterparts? Seems that the way we model women in the media DOES in fact have a big impact on our young sons too. While raising my own two boys I have noticed that a lot of their perceptions of women are not just made…

Kids: Too Old to See Me Naked? Heck NO!

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________     A couple of days ago I came across a post in a mommy group that has been on my mind ever since, it was a simple question about what age little boys should stop ‘seeing’ their mothers naked. Got me thinking, not because the question was relevant- because to me it really isn’t, but because I cannot believe that in this day and age we are actually harping on issues like this. Let me start off by saying that everyone has the right to their own…

Mama’s getting inked…again! Tattoos & Parents.

Ready for my secret reveal? I am finally going to share with the world a piece of me… I am a tattooed mama- though you would never know it- I am. When I was younger I never thought of the idea of getting a tattoo as much of a choice. In my family, we just didn’t think to even ask or do something so altering to our bodies. Then my brother-in-law came into the family- tattooed, pierced and a full on tattoo artist too. Within a few years, we were…
