New Moms Beware When Taking Pictures of the New Baby!

babysugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:30:22 -0700

Wardrobe malfunction alert! Digital cameras and smartphones make it easy to take photos of newborn babies but their casual usage can also cause a mishap that could have Hugh Hefner knocking on mama's door. On her return to The View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck dished on her lil man and revealed an embarrassing moment of her own: she took a photo of Isaiah and sent it around only to realize much later that her nipple was included in the frame. Eek! And if you think that's bad, one of my friends took a picture of her sweet pea but didn't realize her naked body was in the background. Thanks to a mirror in the room, the sleep deprived mother sent out a full frontal nude shot that made its way through her email address book with her sweet boy smiling in the forefront. So before mommy clicks away, she better make sure the porn police won't have reason to come after her!

Brad Pitt Turns Photog; Who Snaps the Shots in Your Fam?

LilSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:00:49 -0700

Brad Pitt turned paparazzi on his beloved brood for the November issue of W. While the actor, his partner, Angelina Jolie, and their six offspring - Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox - often find themselves the subject of snapping shutterbugs, this time daddy Brad was behind the lens and calling the shots.

The Jolie-Pitts had Chateau Miraval in the south of France as a breathtaking backdrop and, most likely, state of the art cameras, makeup artists, and lighting technicians, but many moms and pops are able to capture their family's essence on film. Whether the pictures grace the pages of a major magazine or a handmade scrapbook or album doesn't make a difference. Photos are a way for everyone to preserve memories. Who mans the camera in your home?

Do You Carry Pictures of Your Children?

Back in the day, moms didn't dare leave the house without their brag books. These days, parents carry their cell phones, which often have cameras included. At a moment's notice, they can whip out digital evidence of their wee ones adorable mugs.

For months now I have been meaning to buy a book and fill it with snapshots of my daughter's various stages. As number two quickly approaches, I better get on it sooner than later.

Do you have a brag book?

You have hundreds of photos of your child stored on your computer and stacks of them waiting to be tucked into albums before they fade and curl in the shoe box under your bed. Before you put them away to be seen once a year, pick out a handful of your favorites and frame them with Ribbit Ribbit frames. The delightful wooden picture frames are hand painted and can be custom ordered to suit your needs. The frames in this slideshow are my favorites.

Lil Tip: Teary Goodbyes

babysugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 04:00:37 -0800

Dropping your child off at daycare or school can be an emotional task. Your tot screams with outstretched arms begging you to come back while tears stream down your face. It's agonizing for both parent and child.

One way to ease into drop offs is to give your babe something special that they can keep with them all day. A blanket or a toy from home can sometimes provide them the comfort they need. For older children, try a picture of mom and dad. When they get sad, they can pull it out and be reminded that Mommy and Daddy are thinking of them even though they're not there. Soon enough, the kids will be leaping out of the car ready for a fun-filled day without you.

Model Mamas Hit the Runway For Victoria's Secret

babysugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:03:15 -0800

Host, shmost! Heidi Klum claimed she was only going to host the always anticipated Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but the mama of four made a surprise appearance and walked her hot self down the runway with her tulleriffic attire. Having given birth to her second daughter, Lou, just over a month ago, she left the crowd in shock and awe. Also in attendance on the catwalk? Alessandra Ambrosio. The leggy new mom bared her toned tummy and long stems alongside veteran Klum. The pair certainly left some mums green with envy.

A couple of ladies noticeably absent from the show? Gisele Bündchen, Karolina Kurkova, and Adriana Lima. Gisele is still sporting her adorable baby bump, while the other two glamorous mommies just welcomed their bundles of joy weeks ago. Check out the pictures of the sassy and sexy angels at last night's sneak peek.

Man in the Mirror or Plain Old Ultrasound?

babysugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:30:20 -0800

Ultrasounds can provide parents a mixed bag of emotions. Initially, parents are psyched to see their wee one in the womb - even if he does look like a tiny tadpole. As the weeks progress and his face starts to form, the images can start to look a little freaky deaky, if not adorable. Instead of appearing like the doll one might envision, moms and dads may be surprised to see an alien face staring at them. When one British couple went for an ultrasound of their seventh child, they swore they saw the late Michael Jackson's face in the black and white image. The dad said, "We were looking at the pictures again, and I just saw Jacko there."

Take a look at the photo and tell me, is this like any ordinary ultrasound or do you think there's a hint of the deceased pop star in this woman's womb?
