Check out this couch potato!

Check out this couch potato! Go2Girl shared this adorable photo in our Sugarbabies group.

This is me, irresistible Iris, lounging on my parent's bed. This is pretty much my favorite spot in the house. Now, all I need is to find the remote control and get me some yummy snacks to nibble on and then I will be set! I could get used to this kind of lifestyle!

Motherhood can be mind-boggling. Before driving yourself crazy looking for answers, head over to the LilSugar Community and type your inquiry away in our Ask the Community Anything box.

Lil Community: How to Dress a Boy in Girls' Clothing and Still Have Him Look Like a Boy

Moms love to show off their tots and Elka Karl is one of them.
Dressing a Baby Boy in Girls' Clothes

Moms love to show off their tots and Elka Karl is one of them. Here's a fun post she added to our Sugarbabies group in the LilSugar Community.

While I tend to parent in a mostly gender neutral way, I still get a bit annoyed when I have to correct people when they call my son "she" or tell him he's "so pretty." I think it's mostly the polite Midwesterner in me that hates correcting people. That said, I couldn't not buy something from the Calypso St. Barth For Target line for my son . . . except all of the kids' clothes were girls' clothes. Undeterred, I found a way to make this Toddler Tunic ($13) work for my son. We tested it out on a day in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and I was pleased to note that only one out of about 10 passersby called him a girl (and I blame that on his cute curls).

Sugarbabies: A Garden Bench For My Gardening Buddy

Gardening is fun! Elka Karl shared this photo of her lil one sitting on his custom-made bench in our Sugarbabies group.

Gardening is fun! Elka Karl shared this photo of her lil one sitting on his custom-made bench in our Sugarbabies group.

This weekend I built another veggie box for our backyard. I had some redwood scraps left over, and I hate to let such weather-resistant, valuable wood go to waste. My little gardening buddy needed a place to sit in the garden that was just his height, so I assembled my leftover pieces of wood together to make a pint-sized gardening bench for him.

He likes it!

Lil Community: May Is Perinatal Depression Awareness Month

As mothers we have to look out for each other.

As mothers we have to look out for each other. elle619 posted this reminder in our Mommy Club group in the LilSugar Community.

Last year my sister in law Kelly Abraham Martinez passed away due to severe PPD. My hope is to spread the word to all expecting and new mothers. Please take the time to speak to your healthcare professional about early detection. If you are suffering from PPD, you are not alone. Let’s make sure the women in our lives are educated and erase the stigma of PPD.

To see the warning signs for PPD, click here. And start asking questions and sharing your advice and tips in The Mommy Club!

Lil Community: Adventure Hits Close to Home With a National Park Baby Shower

A National Parks Baby Shower

The following post was shared in our Baby Showers Tips and Pics group by jdeer from Egg2Cake.

What kind of a shower do you throw in November for someone who'd rather be outside than inside and who hiked in Alaska when she was pregnant? None other than a National Park Baby Shower! Guests were advised of the theme well in advance, when they received their passport invites that included a shower itinerary, arrival logistics (comfortable shoes, water and bear bells are recommended, and use caution if packing in edibles), an equipment/survival gear list (a.k.a. registry info) and GPS coordinates.

Upon arrival, trail markers directed the guests down the long driveway to the private setting and lodge-like destination. Once inside, guests were heartily refreshed and a wild time was had by all as we celebrated my brother and sister-in-law's journey into the unmarked territory known as parenthood! (p.s. No humans or animals were harmed in the celebration of this event and all activities were in keeping with the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Recreation and Procreation.)
