The First Lady's Hopes and Fears on Raising Her Daughters

Lisa Sugar — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:54:00 PDT

Talk about an inspiration! We were invited to the White House to discuss the first lady's Let's Move campaign. Getting families off the couch and moving has been a passion of Michelle Obama's since her husband took office, and we've seen her leading children in group exercise programs around the country.

Throughout the conversation, Mrs. Obama opened up about life in the White House, her dreams for her daughters - Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10 - and the everyday parenting struggles she faces, including her fear about "mess[ing] them up." Keep reading to see what the first lady shared with us!

The Obamas Don't Divulge Much About Their Daughters

babysugar — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:00:09 PDT

Since entering the Oval Office, Michelle and Barack Obama have carefully shielded their girls from the spotlight, but the Associated Press rounded up all of the details the proud parents have shared in interviews, including:

Both girls play the piano; Malia also plays the flute. Sasha likes to dance hip-hop. The girls also are working on their tennis game. They are not allowed to watch TV during the week, and weekend viewing is limited. The girls can only use the computer during the week if they need to for school assignments.

And perhaps, much to chagrin of 12-year-old Malia, the President had a revelation that, "'Even though she's 5ft 9in, she's still my baby. And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting ... she's starting to look too old for me." How much do you divulge about your kids?

The Scoop: Bo Does Chicago in a Chic Red Leash

PetSugar — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 04:00:14 PDT

Bo Obama (and his human fam) spent a memorable weekend in Chicago for Memorial Day - lucky dog! While the presidential pup didn't spend this holiday working as he has in the past, and there was no parade in his honor, he seemed to enjoy a long walk about town as a pooch of leisure. I'm still wondering if the Portuguese Water Dog found time to take a dip, too, as his breed name implies.This sighting reveals yet another leash, which makes me think Bo boasts quite the collection to lead the way - see more of his walk through the Windy City in the gallery below.

Sisterly Secrets Between the Obama Girls

babysugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:00:00 PDT

"Sasha, I'm telling you... it's just water!" If there's one confidant a girl can depend on, it's usually her sister. Malia (left) and Sasha Obama attended the "Fiesta Latina" on the South Lawn of the White House where Salsa and Spanish music were the tunes of choice. While we weren't actually privy to the darlings' conversation, we can only imagine what the two were whispering about in the dark. Known for her astute observations, Malia may have decided to announce that she too, wanted an adult wine glass full of sparkling water.

Tell us what you think these two cute gals are talking about in the photo.

In Italy, Obama Daughters Dabble in Gelato-Making

YumSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:00:02 PDT

Meet Malia and Sasha Obama, first children - and future gelato makers? While President Obama was in Rome, Italy, for a G-8 summit, the US embassy contacted the Italian capital's most renowned gelato parlor, Giolitti, to arrange an insider's ice cream tour for the commander in chief's daughters. At the historic gelateria, Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, donned aprons to become frozen-dessert makers for the afternoon. The sisters, accompanied by their grandmother, made blackberry and banana gelato. According to parlor owner Nazareno Giolitti, "Right after they made gelato, they tasted it straight from the machine, and the youngest one said, "It really tastes like blackberries." The girls, who Giolitti said "ate with great gusto," left with a whopping 6.6 pounds each of their ice cream, and took some home for the first lady.

Giolitti later showed a local television station a tub of some of the blackberry flavor the Obama girls created, saying that the leftover ice cream was immediately picked up by customers who wanted their cones filled with it. If I were him, I would have sold it for a killing on eBay.

Are you as envious as I am that the Obama girls had the opportunity of a lifetime at Rome's most famous gelateria?

Celebabies Have Crocs and Slippers on the Soles of Their Feet

LilSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:00:10 PDT

Summer's here and the time is right for lil ones to be dancing in the street. But before they get footloose, they've got to cover their feet and Tinseltown's tots and politikids are embracing two styles this season - laid back casual and dainty sophistication. Crocs are still tops for a number of kiddos with Leni Klum, Apple and Moses Martin and River Deary sporting the ubiquitous non-slip sandals that caused a stir when they first hit playgrounds two years ago. Lil girls looking to add some slip-on style to their wardrobes are shopping the ballet flats at Crewcuts. Sasha Obama boarded Air Force One in a pair and landed in Moscow in another, while Suri Cruise opted for a more wild style while attending the Australian theater.
