  • Danica and Marc Pingris

    Show business is Danica Sotto-Pingris' inevitability. While she has been leading a quiet family life for the last 6 years with husband Marc, she again finds herself in the limelight as a mom to their two kids Mic and Cayla in this month's issue of Smart Parenting magazine, where she narrates the joys and lessons she has learned and embraced.

    See all 46 photos taken during our cover shoot with the Pingris family by clicking 'View slideshow' above!

      Inside the studio, we show Mic his wardrobe choices, and he quickly turns his attention to the shoes.

      He must have taken a liking to this pair, because he brought them over to Marc, as if to say, 'I like these, dad!'

      Here, Marc obligingly played with his kids with -- what else -- a basketball hoop.

      Danica looks lovely with minimal make-up and a bright red lip color.

      Notice how Cayla's shoes are just 1/3 of her dad's? That's because Marc's shoe size is 13.
