Get a FREE Snapfish Mug with the Purchase of a Tommee Tippee Product!

This post is brought to you by Tommee Tippee. All opinions are mine.

Do you like a "TWO for ONE" Deal like I DO??? 

Then you will love that Tommee Tippee and Snapfish have partnered to bring an exclusive offer for a free 11 oz. photo mug from Snapfish when you buy a Tommee Tippee product! You get two great products for the price of ONE Tommee Tippee product! The offer is currently stickered on cups (excluding single valve) and mealtime (plates, bowls, etc) products.

Cups with the offer can be purchased at Babies R Us, Target, or Walmart, and mealtime products can be purchased at Babies R Us. I really wanted to make a personalized mug for my hubby AND get some great new Tommee Tippee cups for my children to use so I headed to my local Target to check out their selection!

I found the Tommee Tippee cups in the baby area of the store and immediately saw the bright yellow sticker on several items! Now came the hard choice of deciding which new Tommee Tippee item to purchase!!!

The lippee cups are great for my 20 month old and helping him learn to drink but the insulated straw tumblers are great for my two oldest - especially in a lunch box!

I finally decided on the insulated straw cups because they can be great for all three of my children because 12 months + can use them! I love that they keep drinks cold and are such cute designs!

I then couldn't wait to get home and design a mug on Snapfish with my free code! It was super easy to enter the free promo code for the mug and it was also super easy to design the mug and get it shipped (*shipping charges not included in free offer)! I really enjoyed designing a one of a kind personalized mug for my hubby!

I decided on a cabin theme since we recently bought a cabin up north! I knew my husband would love it for drinking coffee in the mornings at the cabin! I couldn't wait for it to arrive!

The minute I got the mug in the mail, I had to give it to my husband! I wanted to wait for his birthday in May but I was just so excited for him to see it! And I am glad I didn't wait because he LOVED it! The mug and the pictures were better than even I expected! The pictures were clear and bold and they looked great!

It will be such a great part of our cabin and will be part of many memories to come for many years!

Thank you for the great "2 for 1" offer Tommee Tippee & Snapfish!!

tommee tippee Filter Water Bottle & #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Keeping your busy, on-the-go toddler hydrated is now as easy as 1-2-3! 

One of my favorite companies, Tommee Tippee, recently announced its first Filter Water Bottle for kids over 1 year of age!

The new bottle filters water as kids sip, reducing lead, the taste and smell of chlorine, and removing 99.9% of bacteria, for tastier water! This 12 ounce bottle is compact and lightweight, making it perfect for active toddlers.

This clever bottle filters water as they sip, reducing lead and removing 99.9% of microbial cysts. It also reduces the taste and smell of chlorine to make cleaner, tastier water they’ll enjoy all day, every day. And by making sure water always tastes great, you’re helping them develop healthy preferences that will last as they get older.

The bottle is easy to clean in hot, soapy water or on the top shelf of your dishwasher - but please remove the filter first. This should not be cleaned or washed and will last for up to 2 months before needing to be replaced.

Tommee Tippee filter bottles are unique so parts are not interchangeable with other products in the range.

Filter Water Bottle Key Features:

• Internal filter reduces lead and removes 99.9% of microbial cysts

Gift Ideas from Kid Basix

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Kid Basix knows that nothing irks parents more than buying something for their child that doesn’t last. That’s why they created The Safe Sippy2 - so when a child says he or she is too old for a sippy cup and want s a straw bottle like the “big kids,” parents can reach for the straw adaptor instead of their wallet.

The Safe Sippy2™ toddler cup is made from clean, non-leaching, stainless steel and is free of BPA, phthalates and other harmful chemicals. The Safe Sippy2 combines all the great features of the original Safe Sippy, plus three new features that parents asked for most: a no spill valve and straw and straw adaptor, a travel cap to keep the spout clean, a travel plug to protect from any drips while out and about.

The Safe Sippy2™ retails for $15.99 and is dishwasher safe.

Kid Basix also offers the Safe Sporter Sippy Cup for older children!

The Kid Basix Safe Sporter™ Sippy Cup has a cutting-edge design that is similarly certified, but perfect for elementary school children. It features a single-walled design to maximize volume, a wide mouth, an easy-pull spout, a mud cap to keep the spout clean, a band to protect hands from cold liquids and a coaster to protect it from dents. The Safe Sporter™ is available in 12oz and 16oz sizes.

The 12oz retails for $15.99 and the 16oz retails for $16.99. Both are dishwasher safe.

Find the Best Fit for Your Baby with Four Stages of Toddler Cups from Philips Avent & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

No matter what activities you and your tot are enjoying during these warm months - family vacations, road trips or even just errands – we all know both mom AND toddler’s best friend a leak-proof, easy to use sippy cup – is essential.

And one thing I have learned with my third child is that finding a good fit can really be a challenge!

That’s why I really appreciate Philips Avent and the fact that they have created a four-stage toddler range – featuring everything from bottle trainers to grown-up cups.

To help you learn which might be the best fit for your toddler, they have also teamed up with Scholastic to create “Sip, Sip, Hooray,” a story of several toddler friends and a mischievous Mama “Sippopotomus” who’s hunting for the perfect sippy cup for Baby “Sippo.”

First Smiles, First Sips

With the Philips Avent My Trainer Cups, toddlers can easily graduate from bottle to sippy cup. Begin with the familiar silicone nipple on top, and then graduate to the soft spout – the rubberized trainer handles make it easy for little hands to grip the cup when they’re ready.

More Milk, No Mess

With the Philips Avent My Penguin Sippy Cup, soft and hard spout options provide developing toddlers with a truly leak-free drinking experience, while soft-touch trainer handles help them grip cups independently. When toddlers are ready to hold cups without handles, thePhilips Avent My Easy Sippy Spout Cup has an easy-to-grasp ripple shape, designed for a no-slip grip.

Spill-Free Explorer

A perfect companion for your on-the-move little one, the Philips Avent My Twist n Sip Straw Cup features a soft, silicone straw that will introduce your child to a bran d new type of drinking experience. The cup’s unique twist lid will keep its straw clean and hygienic while you and your tot are on the go.

Just Like Mom and Dad

A first of its kind, the Philips Avent My Natural Drinking Cup promotes independent drinking with its 360 degree, lip-activated rim. Milk or water will only release from the cup if the toddler has his lip pressed against this rim, enabling them to drink like a grown-up, while staying 100% spill-free!

I have really been having a hard time finding a sippy cup my son will drink out of. He is just exclusively breastfeeding but is nearing his 1st birthday and I still haven't found a sippy cup he would drink out of. 

So I was so excited to try this line from Philips Avent to finally find a cup he will drink out of. I knew if I couldn't find one he likes from this selection, then I wouldn't find one anywhere!

And luckily, one of them did work!!! So he still won't suck from a sippy, but he advanced straight to the Stage 4 Natural Drinking Cup! 

And let me tell you, I absolutely LOVE this cup! It allows him to drink like he is drinking right from a regular cup, but it only allows a little to come out at a time so that he doesn't spill everywhere! 

He absolutely LOVES the cup also and I am so glad we finally found a fit where he can keep hydrated in this hot weather!

And BONUS: he looks SO CUTE using it!!!! :)

Transition to Sippy Cups Easily with the NEW Tip It Up Collection #tommeemommee

I am a Tommee Mommee, ambassador for tommee tippee, and am compensated for this post. All opinions are mine.

My third baby, my 8 month old son, and has been eating solids for a couple months now. It was an easy transition and he eats like a teenager now!

However, what hasn't been an easy transition is breast to cup. My son has had bottles before when he was younger but primarily breastfeeds. Now when I try to introduce a sippy cup to him, he refuses to drink out of it. I thought from having bottles in the past that it would be a easier transition but every time I put the sippy cup in his mouth, he pushes it back out or just bites on it.

If you are having troubles transitioning like I am from bottle/breast to cup, then you will be excited as I am about the new bundles of joy added to the tommee tippee family!

I am so excited to announce the new Tip It Up Collection, available for a limited time in Babies R Us. The Tip It Up cup set is specially designed for baby’s first sips providing a smooth transition from breast or bottle to cup drinking. For babies 3 months and older, the bottle to cup set contains two feeding bottles and one first sips transitioning cup.

With Closer to Nature Bottles, switching between breast and bottle feeding becomes easier than ever before. Closer to Nature’s award-winning range of Bisphenol A free (BPA) baby bottles are designed to promote content and easy feeding times for parents and baby. When your little one is ready to move on from the bottle the first sips cup is a great transitioning cup. A super soft spout is gentle on your baby’s sensitive gums and easy-grip handles fit perfectly in their tiny hands. You’ll also love the non-spill valve that keeps baby, and everything nearby nice and dry.

This makes a great baby gift or great set for when you know the transition is happening with your baby soon!

New Products from Silikids & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

With a busy five year old, a clumsy toddler and a newly eating and drinking baby, the glassware I use is picked very purposefully and I need something I can use that is both easy to drink from and safe for my kids to drink from and drop if it happens!

I found all my needs fulfilled by Silikids and I am loving both their new and original products!

The brand focuses on designing safe, modern and practical products offering a new function, while being easy to use and keep clean.

One of their new products is the:

SILISKIN® STRAW TOPS

I absolutely love how I can turn any glass into a straw cups! My children LOVE drinking from straws so they love that I can turn any cup into a straw cup instantly. Plus, it is great when they are drinking from a cup that I don't want spilled!

Silicone top stretches over and grips the top of multiple size cups while air suction keeps it in place! Add it to a Siliskin® Glass or a glass of your choice and have an instant, no-spill cup.

Other great features:

I also love the NEW:

SILIKSIN® GLASS TRAINING CUP

This new training cup is perfect for my baby who is just learning to drink from a sippy. I love that it is made from glass and not plastic and the silicone keeps it from slipping easily from my hand or his when drinking!

The Siliskin Top and Glass come together as one making an 8oz glass training cup. Combined with the Siliskin sleeve, the glass is completely encased in silicone. Silicone top stretches over and covers the top of the glass. Silicone grips glass and air suction keeps top in place.
