Shocking New Study Discovers That Kids Will Eat Vegetables – If They Are Sugar Coated

Shocking New Study Discovers That Kids Will Eat Vegetables - If They Are Sugar Coated

The University of Connecticut’s Department of Nutritional Sciences discovered that preschool children ate more vegetables that were sweetened with sugar than standard veggies. As I have stated many times on Mommyish before, I am not an actual scientist, but I am a scientist when it comes to things like sugar, and things that you put in your mouth hole, so as this type of scientist I can state for the record that my official stance on this study is:

Of course kids will eat vegetables that are covered in sugar, doy. More »

9-Year-Old-Girl Who Was Raped Gave Birth In Mexico And No, She Did Not ‘Get Pregnant’

9-Year-Old-Girl Who Was Raped Gave Birth In Mexico And No, She Did Not 'Get Pregnant'

A 9-year-old Mexican girl by the name of Dafne gave birth to a baby girl in Jalisco, Mexico on January 27th. Dafne gave birth via C-section, and both baby and baby are reported to be healthy. I’ll use the word “baby” here instead of mother, due to the fact that the mother in question is a 9-year-old child. I have an 9-year-old and she is definitely still my baby. If we can get over the idea of little Dafne having to go through the ordeal of childbirth via C-section at age nine, we can now focus on the amount of amazingly offensive information related to this case that is out there.

Heiress, Future Fashion Icon And Paparazzi Paycheck Blue Ivy Is Talking – And I Know Her First Words

Heiress, Future Fashion Icon And Paparazzi Paycheck Blue Ivy Is Talking - And I Know Her First Words

You guys, this just proves that Blue Ivy is some amazingly great, brilliant super baby because according to all of the child-development books in my basement where all the spiders live most babies don’t start even uttering their first real words until they are around 16 months. And Blue Ivy is only 13 months, so she is so much better than your baby! I bet at 13 months your baby isn’t even cooing yet and also, probably has never even been cuddled by Gwyneth Paltrow or Oprah. It totally bums me out that our best friend Beyonce didn’t say exactly what Blue is vocalizing, so I have decided to make up shit she might be saying because I am an investigative, professional journalist like that More »

Just Another Normal Day In The Abnormal Life Of Brangelina’s Children

Just Another Normal Day In The Abnormal Life Of Brangelinaâs Children

You know that feeling when you’re out and you look soooo good that your friends insist on taking tons of potential new Facebook profile photos of you? And you konw that other feeling when you look like you just returned from an orgy with death and exhaustion and your friends keep taking “hilarious candids of you” even though you asked them to stop? Well I think that second feeling is what the Brangelina children must feel every single day of their lives. Or at least the days when they leave their mansions/chateaus/penthouses/estates and go anywhere where people have cameras.

If only Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would splurge on invisibility cloaks for them.

Willow Smith’s Outfit Might Be Her Way Of Asking Her Parents To Pay Attention To Her

Willow Smithâs Outfit Might Be Her Way Of Asking Her Parents To Pay Attention To Her

I’m worried about Willow Smith. The precocious performer and daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith excels at drawing attention to herself via her beauty and fashion choices. Earlier this year the singer best known for the song “Whip my Hair Back and Forth” shaved her head, causing a public uproar and general dismay. Then the 11-year-old continued to garner press for wearing 6-inch heels while shopping in New York City. And now she’s back on the blogs for wearing a bizarre spiky ensemble that would indubitably maim anyone who got too close to her. More »
