Less Mess and No Mold!

Do you get excited about tippy cups? I know sounds silly. Of course is your Sippy Cup Chardonnay then it is something to consider. Otherwise I know most adults don't think alot about them. Well since I care for kiddos of the "let's spill drinks" age, tippy cups become an issue.

What do I have the biggest issue with them? MOLD! Yeah! ICK! But so many of the have mold that grows in the value parts. And you have a hard time getting them cleaned and dried. Well I have some that are easy to clean. Easy to dry and thus stop the mold issue.

Tommee Tippee has a great system. And they also have stage system too. You can go from the first sips all the way to spill proof drinking cup. One of my 3 yr ol lil ladies was thrilled to see the new cups this week. Of course she also put a whole new mind set with me when she exclaimed "I love my new travel mug!" Oh duh? We are all using sippy cups aren't we? And here we all thought we were so grown up.

Well if I have to have a "sippy cup" or travel mug, I would prefer the bright pinks and purples I have in the Tommee Tippee Explora cups. Of course we all know how I love pink. I am also looking to get me a spill proof water bottle soon for one of my 3 yr old lil ladies. Her mom does not want her to use a 'sippy cup" but a sports bottle is okay. I don't understand but it does not matter. All I want is where the drinks are not spilled.

But here are the facts you may want to know:

• BPA- and Phthalate-free
• Patented advance-flo valve for guaranteed easy drinking
• Super-sensitive Active Sensor valve is truly spill-proof and leakproof, yet allows liquid to flow on demand

The Tommee Tippee Explora BPA-free toddler drinking products are designed to take children from first sips to grown-up drinking by easing transitions along the way. The advance-flo™ valve used in Explora cups was designed by a physicist and requires almost no force to drink from, yet still remains spill- and leak-proof. Each Explora cup is progressively staged with a specific grip to fit little fingers and unique spouts, from soft touch to dura spouts, to meet the needs of every age, and to support natural oral development. Available in specific boy and girl colors and designs kids love. I wish to thank Tommee Tippee and Mom Bloggers Club for sending me these cups. It has been a great help and a lot less spills since they have shown up. Now I am just looking for a wine glass tippee cup for me!

Had Ourselves a Lil Party

We have had a wonderfully nice weekend.
Even though my DH had to work this weekend we finally was able to get to spend some time with each other.

This year I wanted to have a cocktail party.
My College Girl is now 22 and I have not had a proper cocktail party since she was 4.
Well that is just too long not to get to wear the heels and pearls while sipping a pretty colored drink.

And it went well!
13.5 people showed up.
Yes .5 is what I said.
Emma is only 3 yrs old so she can count as a .5.
And even she wore her pretty purple dress with matching pink heels and purse.
Dear Hubby made a wonderful bartender.
Nursing all of our desires to drink lots of different concoctions.
Then there was a table full of food.

But we all seemed to mingle well and did end up laughing our heads off.
Especially when a young gentleman tried to do a demo of just how flexible he is.
We had people from age of 3 (yes Miss Emma) to 75 attend.

And all in all, it was a wonderful party.
Just what I wanted for Christmas this year.
Thanks so much for all that attended.
You fulfilled my Christmas wish.
