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…

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)…

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…
