Welcome to sugarpharm. I chose the name sugarpharm to reflect my childhood background growing up on a farm and because I now work as a pharmacist.
This is not a typical fashion, design or health blog. I like to think of it as the "Carla magazine"; a magazine that reflects my interests. This blog is a compilation of cool products that I have stumbled upon, ideas I find captivating, and information that I would like to share with others.
Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or if you would just like to say hello. (carla AT sugarpharm dot com)
Cheers,
Carla

He’s right when he says we have to stop overprotecting our kids. Many of our youth baseball leagues don’t keep score because they don’t want the kids’ feeling to get hurt. Guess what? In real life, teams win and lose. The earlier kids figure that out, the better they will be as adults.
