    My Favorite Straw Cups for Toddlers

    We have all of these cups & have been using them for a while now so I feel like I can give my honest opinion on all of them. We began using straw cups when we started solids so that we could provide water while she ate. I also found that since she was using them so often we had ZERO issues when it came time at 12 months to completely drop bottles! This was one of our first straw cups Mackenzie used! We’ve only ever used it for water & it’s worked out great. I’ve never had any issues with it leaking and she can drop it without it…

    14 Tips for Traveling with a Toddler on a Plane

    We just took our third trip with Mackenzie, but this was the first since she’s been super mobile so we knew it would be tougher to keep her in her seat.

    Brand Highlight: Why We Love Serenity Kids!

    This is in no way a sponsored post, just sharing the brands we love with you! We have had Serenity Kids in our house since Mackenzie began solids.

That meant I could easily keep one or two pouches in my diaper bag if I needed food for Mackenzie while we were out. I said from the beginning I…
