Thank you for supporting brands that make this blog possible!

Today I want to introduce you to an amazing company that has the neatest feeding products. So parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone looking for neat and useful products for the baby and toddler in your life, check out Silikids. Their products are made from 100% food grade silicone and they're dishwasher safe, need I say more? No? Well I will anyway because that's what I do best.

The Silimap is perfect when going out to eat or simply to keep your kiddo busy, I use it during the witching hour at times and its a life saver. The baby can color on it and when she's all done I just run it under the sink to clean off the washable markers she uses on it. Then it folds neatly back into a square and i just slip it in her cabinet in the kitchen or diaper bag if we are out at a restaurant.

The Siliskin silicone cups are my favorite universal cup. Its safe for little ones to tote around because its made of strong silicone and yet it holds its shape because it has a stainless steel ring inside. And perhaps my favorite part is that they are dishwasher safe. We use these cups for everything, we keep a few down in the kitchen to use as drinking cups for the baby and we keep some in her bathroom to use to rinse shampoo out of her hair, rinse the toothpaste out of her mouth, or just for pure entertainment purposes when she's filling up and pouring out water when playing in the tub. 

We use the Universal Siliskin Sippy Tops on the silicone cups but we also use them on pretty much every cup we have. They're flexible so if you can stretch it over a cup, it will work on said cup.

Its totally leak proof so its the only cup I let the baby take to bed with her. She's been in this phase where she asks for 8 million items prior to nap and bedtime and "Wawa!" is one of those things, so I always put her water in this cup with these sippy tops because I know her bed will stay dry.

The last product we've enjoyed is the Silicone Baby Spoon, it was especially wonderful when the baby was getting the hang of self-feeding because the spoons feature easy to grip handles and wide bases.

I'm so grateful I was introduced to the Silikids brand and I hope you are just as excited to check them out. If you don't know where to start I recommend getting a set of the silicone cups and the universal sippy tops, they are a game changer! And you'll be able to minimize the amount of sippy cups in your cabinets since the lids can go on anything! And right now Silikids have FREE shipping on orders over $30, so head on over to their website and check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Nuby Snack n' Sip

Full Disclosure: As a Nuby Parent Blogger I receive products at no cost, however all words and opinions are my own.  

Is it just me or does every parent need to pack an arsenal of goodies any time you're leaving the house with a baby or toddler? Seriously, I could be going to the gas station two miles from the house and my 20 month old will ask for her blanket, her book, her water cup, her snack, and 3 million dollars in small bills all before we even make it halfway to our destination. And guess what, I oblige because, well, she runs the show at times. Let's be honest, when you spend 10 minutes going through how they want their toast cut and what toppings to go on it, they're calling the shots.

As she's getting older I don't carry near as much around with me as I used to when she was a baby. And Nuby's Snack N' Sip allows me to grab only one item and yet fulfill two purposes. It's a cup, but at the top there is a compartment to fill with snacks. The snack compartment has a lid so snacks stay fresh and off the floor and the straw design allows your child to drink from the cup while still digging for a bite. The cup features a silicone straw that prevent leaks and also acts as a teether on little one's gums. 

My youngest has always been very independent when it comes to feeding and doing things for herself. The kid's utensil handling skills have been on point since she was a year old. So she loves that she's the boss when it comes to opening and closing her snack cup as she walks around with her Snack N' Sip. Whether you have a Miss Independent like me or simply want to simplify you life (what parent doesn't?!) check out the Nuby Snack N' Sip at Toys R Us, it comes in several designs and colors. And head on over to Instagram for a chance to win one!
