Lil Community: My Daughter Needs Birth Control!


Updated 01/30/12 3:20 AM · Posted by · 0 comments

Motherhood can be a mind-boggler! Betty Wayne posted this funny conversation with her daughter in the Mommy Club group in the LilSugar Community.

When my daughter was about 4 she saw me taking my birth control pill and asked what it was. "Oh it makes me not have babies," I said, naively thinking it was a throw-away comment that she would never remember.

She's 6 1/2 now and a few days ago came to me in all seriousness, out of nowhere, and asked, "Mommy where do you get that medicine that makes you not have babies?"

"At the same place I get all my medicine." Face meets palm... now.

"Yes but where?" She asked again, urgently.

"At the pharmacy sweetie, why?"

Then she looked at me with a look of deep distress and said, "Mommy I need to get that medicine because I don't want to have a baby." I tried not to laugh as I explained that girls can't have babies until they're teenagers and promised to get her that medicine when she's big. Still worried she asked, "But mommy what if I forget?"

So I promised I would remember. Here's to hoping she's still open and eager to talk birth control when she needs it!

Lil Community: A Toddler Room Update


Updated 11/21/11 6:58 AM · Posted by · 2 comments

This post was submitted by member Perkinswood in CasaSugar's community.

Over the weekend I updated our almost 2-year-old son Seth's room so that it would be more functional for him. It was definitely in bad shape. No space to play, curtains that were way too short and boring. It basically felt like a box with a ton of wood furniture in it.

There really wasn't a budget to do anything extravagant, but changes needed to be made. So I got rid of a dresser, made curtains from a flat sheet, stole storage from our own closet for better and more accessible toy storage, added some free art, and painted a wall with chalkboard paint we made at home.

Lil Community: An Heirloom Baby Shower For Ashley

An Heirloom Baby Shower

Pull out the umbrella; it's shower time! We love celebrating baby showers in our Baby Showers Tips and Pics group. Here are some pictures of a LilSugar-inspired party from lkstraw.

I recently threw a baby shower for Sugar Inc.'s own Director of Fashion, Ashley Patterson, and couldn't have done it without the help of LilSugar! One of the highlights of the shower was filling out and sharing the adorable keepsakes I downloaded off LilSugar — "Wishes for Baby!"

I'm sure when Baby P learns to read he or she will get a chuckle out of them, too! And Ashley plans to frame them for the nursery.

Have you been showered by dear friends and family to celebrate your growing brood? Or, have you planned a brilliant baby bash you are unabashedly proud of (you know you have!)? Share your baby shower photos, inspiration, tips, and suggestions in our Baby Shower Tips and Pics group in the LilSugar Community.
