Tilty Sippy Cups - A review and Giveaway!

Thanks to Momselect and Tilty cups I bring you this post.


But first..... Let me tell you a bit about the product.

Anyone with babies and toddlers knows that like a bottle, a good sippy cup is hard to find. You want something easy to use for your child, something they will drink out of, and preferably spill proof and easy to clean/assemble.

These days, of course, there is also the concern over BPA and its use in most bottles and sippy cups.

What makes the tilty cup different?

For starters, it is ingeniously designed so that your baby/toddler doesn't have to lean back much to get their drink out of the cup.



Other Specs about the tilty cup:

• 9+ months
• 7oz
• Dishwasher Safe (Top Rack)
• Polypropylene
• BPA Free
• Dye Free
• PVC Free
• Easy to use in a car seat or stroller

What I love about this cup -- Both of my girls took to it immediately. Easy to clean, easy to fill and close, and we only had leaks when Izzie decided she wanted to shake the cup up and milk came out the top. The cup is easy for children to grasp onto, even as young as 9 months. Miss Emmy caught on quickly too.


Do you want to try Tilty Cups? I have a 2 pack to give away to one lucky winner.




Giveaway Details:
I'm leaving this one open two weeks. So entries will be accepted until May 19, 2009.

To enter, first you must visit Tilty cup and tell me something about the cup, the company, or the makers behind the cup.

2. Blog or Tweet about this contest and post a link in the comments.

Cartstopper -- A review and giveaway.

I got the opportunity to try out a new safety product last week. The Cartstopper.

Have you ever gone to the grocery store alone with the kids and the buggy tries to roll away as you are loading groceries into the car. You know what I mean, you have to keep one hand on the buggy, and use the other to load the bags into the car.

Not any more.

The Cartstopper is designed to attach the buggy to your car, so you can load the groceries without fear that your child(ren) will be rolling off in the buggy.

The Cartstopper sticks to your vehicle with a large suction cup while a plastic "handle" holds the cart in place. The Carstopper is easy to affix to the car, and easy to remove.

I took the girls with me to Kroger, it was a drizzly day, and it was just me and the girls. A great day to try out this new device. The car, was mostly clean, and the suction stuck to it just fine. The rain, though light, did not affect it at all. I loved that the cart stayed where I had put it and I didn't have to worry about the girls or my groceries. Unloading the cart was a snap and when I was through, it took seconds to release the cartstopper so I could return the cart to the corral. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who ever goes shopping alone with kids. It is a very novel concept! I only wish it was around 4 years ago when Caity was a baby!

You can click to order your own CartStopper Or you can try to win one on my blog.

That's right, Cartstopper is offering my readers a chance to win. You will receive one cartstopper if you win.

Rules of the contest.

First and foremost, you must go to CartStopper's website and tell me something you learned about the product or its creator.


After you do that, you can have extra entries.

1. Blog about this contest including links to my blog post and Cartstopper.
2. Follow me on Twitter amd Tweet about this contest.
3. Follow me on blogger or add me to your blogroll.
4. Fave me on technorati. Click button on my sidebar.
5. Subscribe to my blog.

The contest starts today and will end December 3rd.

Ah the joy of sleeping babes

5 Minutes for Mom is hosting another fabulous contest. This time, the winner takes home a spectacular prize. A bedroom set for their little girl or boy. Winner will pick a brand new South Shore Children’s Bedroom Set from Home & Bedroom Furniture. The Lily rose or the Summer Breeze.

Our personal pick would be the Lily Rose bedroom set.



Wouldn't that just look divine in the girls room. And it would make more storage space too.

The rules of the contest are to select ONE picture of your sleeping angel.

It was so hard. SO SO hard, to narrow down the options for this one. I have two beautiful girls and tons tons of pictures of each of them sleeping and lots of them sleeping together

But I think this one is one of my faves ever.

So. Here it is.

Sleeping beneath the Christmas tree.

Momdot and Combi Rock

Combi has teamed up with Momdot to host yet another fabulous stroller contest.


This time they are giving away a limited edition Cosmo DX in Blush

The wonderful ladies over at momdot are giving this stroller to the person who they feel best needs the stroller and as such they are letting each person post a story about why they need the stroller.

Some specs about this stroller:

Cosmo DX Features

* Lightweight and portable lifestyle stroller
* Compatible with the Combi Shuttle Infant Seat
* Breathable air mesh seat cushion for child’s comfort
* Quick and simple tri-fold
* Opens easily with one hand
* Deep recline will accommodate an infant
* Stylish European canopy with designer lining
* Removable cup holder
* Basket with easy access
* Convenient carrying strap for traveling
* 5-Point harness with comfort pads
* Removable, washable padded seat cushion
* Removable guardrail with washable fabric cover
* Front swivel wheels for easy maneuvering
* All-wheel suspension system for a smooth and restful ride
* Integrated infant boot
* Convenient footrest for toddler comfort
* Weight: 12.9 lbs
* Open Dimensions : 40.25” x 19.5” x 32”
* Close Dimensions: 37.5” x 17” x 15”
* Carrying Capacity: 55 lbs


Now for why I need this stroller.

Both of my girls have medical problems. So we spend an awful lot of time in the doctor's office and lately at Children's hospital. This makes it very difficult to keep up with both of my girls. We often go from waiting room to waiting room or department to department and its not easy to get both girls there quickly. This stroller would really help with that.

When Caity has her surgery (or two), I know that a new stroller will come in handy for getting around with both girls. It would be great not to worry about keeping up with both girls when we are dealing with so much else.

So that's my story. Not a big sob story, but just the basics of why I could use this stroller.

Surely $5 to Starbucks would do someone some good though.
