One of my favorite things to do in New York City a One of my favorite things to do in New York City and it only costs $6! But seriously, the @theseaglasscarousel in Battery Park is a downtown Manhattan staple and one that not everyone knows about. Definitely add this to your NYC itinerary.
Have you heard about the rooftop lounge in Powell Have you heard about the rooftop lounge in Powell  everyone keeps talking about? We had date night at the new @lanirooftop the other night (our second time there) and it did not disappoint. My only regret is that we didn’t also order the Caesar salad because it’s my favorite, but we absolutely did not have room to order anything else. The Harissa Roast Cauliflower was our favorite this time, but there was not a bad bite to be found. And if you’re looking for a NA beverage, they have a great list of refreshers or you can ask the bartender to make you something off menu. Speaking of the bartenders, they’re fantastic and I highly recommend sitting at the bar if you want a different vibe or it’s not patio weather outside. Save this one for your next Columbus night out! @visitdelohio @visit_powell @experiencecolumbus #columbusohio #cbusfoodscene #cbusfoodbloggers #lanirooftop #delawareohio

Need an easy back-to-school meal prep hack? #ad Th Need an easy back-to-school meal prep hack? #ad These @idahoanfoods mashed potato cups are the perfect thing. Prep all your toppings ahead of time, then when you’re in need of a quick dinner, let the kids choose their favorite mashed potato flavor and top to their hearts’ desire. Our current obsession is adding chicken nuggets, black beans, corn, shredded cheddar and bbq sauce for a little southwestern loaded potato bowl. But the possibilities are endless and with everyone building their own, they can make it exactly how they want it. These Idahoan mashed potato cups are incredibly convenient and are ready to eat in just minutes. Stock up at your local grocery store! #idahoanfoods #idahoan #easydinnerideas #mealprep
This trip felt incredibly important. My grandmothe This trip felt incredibly important. My grandmother turned 104 this past weekend, her sister turning 100 not too long ago, and the loss of their brother and sister-in-law (both over 100) earlier this year. I hope we have them both for years to come, but I’m also so grateful that my kids have had the chance to build memories with them. It’s easy to think there will always be another visit, but this weekend was a reminder to soak up every moment you can and to always, always be willing to listen to that one story for the millionth time because they love sharing it.
How is it that just two years ago we were sitting How is it that just two years ago we were sitting at one of our favorite places telling the kids our family was about to grow by one more, and then this weekend that same little girl was sitting at the table stealing bites of everyone’s cake and ice cream?

Nuby Product Reviews | Snacktime with Nuby

May 29, 2017      favorite things, giveaways, reviews      10 Comments

Does your kid go through snacks like mine does? I don’t know where he puts it. It doesn’t matter how much food Liam’s eaten during a meal…he’s already begging for something else as soon as he leaves the table. I’m always looking for ways to make mealtimes more fun and snack time convenient. Especially since we’re on the go so much. I thought I’d bring you some Nuby product reviews for a few items we’ve discovered (and loved) lately that are helping make both possible. There’s a giveaway at the bottom of this post, so make sure you remember to enter! Liam chose his favorite item of the three products we’ve reviewed in this post as the item for the giveaway. I agree with him that it’s a pretty awesome product, so don’t miss out on this one.

Nuby Sure Grip Miracle Mat

Liam is old enough where he doesn’t really need a plate that suctions to the table anymore. But when he tried to slide Nuby’s Sure Grip Miracle Mat across the table and couldn’t, I realized that this is really going to come in handy once Caleb is older, eating food and in his “throw everything on the floor” stage. Every kid has one, right?

The Miracle Mat is both a placemat and a plate rolled into one. Its suction is super strong like I mentioned and it also has a non-slip base. This makes it hard to slid off the table and for tiny hands to pick up. I also love that it’s a sectioned plate. So I can give Liam multiple things in his dish without the wet items like gravy or juicy fruit seeping into everything else. Because food touching other food spells disaster sometimes.

Liam keeps requesting the “bear plate.” He thinks its so fun that the mat we received looks like a teddy bear. Anyone who has a toddler knows how picky they can be. So anything that helps make mealtime a little more fun is great to have on hand. And if your child is still using a high chair, you can get a smaller-sized mat that will fit on the high chair tray. No bear face in this instance, but it will still have the strong suction and sectioned plate.

The Nuby Sure Grip Miracle Mat is available on Amazon.com, Babies R’ Us and at Target.

Nuby Snack N’ Sip

It’s a snack cup. And a drinking cup. Both in the same container, which is the greatest thing to a toddler. Liam’s been raving about this cup since I took it out of the package. No, seriously. He was telling some stranger at the grocery store all about it the other day.

My favorite thing about this cup is that it doesn’t skimp in either department. The snack compartment holds 4.5 ounces of dry snacks and the drink portion holds 9 ounces of liquid. This is plenty if you’re running errands or are going to be out and about for a couple of hours. And hopefully, not so much that you’ll need to stop for a potty break.

Liam’s favorite thing about the Snack N’ Sip cup (other than the snacks, of course) is that the entire thing fits in his car seat cup holder. The way we normally travel, his cup is in his cup holder and his snacks are in his lap. If he’s not holding on or paying attention, his snack container will sometimes fall onto the floor when I make a turn or stop the car. And if you have a toddler, you know. Total devastation. Having both his snack and his water in the same cup AND being able to store it safely in his cup holder makes it easy for him to access any time he wants.

Other highlights of the cup include its no spill 100% silicone flex straw and no spill valve. And the fact that it’s BPA free.  The Nuby Snack N’ Sip is available at Babies R’ Us and Target. You can also buy it online on Amazon.com! nuby-product-reviews-snack-n-sip-26nub-product-reviews-snack-n-sip-21

Nuby Thirsty Kids Flip-it

Now that Liam’s three, I really feel like we’ve outgrown the whole “sippy cup” stage. He’s more capable of drinking from regular cups and bottles. And we need something that matches our on-the-go lifestyle as well as his “big boy” status. Nuby’s new Thirsty Kids Flip-it water canteen is just that.
nuby-product-reviews-thirsty-kids-flip-it-14

Active, growing kids need to drink plenty of water, especially as the weather gets warmer. The Flip-it holds 12 ounces of water, has a hygienic cover that keeps the mouthpiece clean when it’s closed and has an easy-to-press button for kids to get a drink whenever they want. And it’s made from BPA-free durable Triton plastic, to protect it from breaking when it gets dropped.

I also love that it has a nice-sized handle on it. This makes it perfect for Liam to carry around himself. And it would be super easy for us to hook it onto a hiking backpack for all our outdoor trips this summer.

    Wow! These are great toddler items! I love the idea of the Snack N Sip. My little guy loves to graze during long car rides so it would be perfect him.

    Some of our favorite activities are fishing, hiking, going to parades, grilling, and running through the sprinklers. It’s going to be a slower summer for us this year as our second little is due in Aug/Sept.

    Love that cup. I plan to do a lot of adventures right in our back yard… camping, making a giant outdoor “waterbed” foam and play dough. @brae_and_pey

    My baby and I will go see grandmother. She live about 20hours away from us so we can not see her all the time. That’s our plan for the summer.

    How fun! They make such cool stuff for kiddos these days (I want a 🐻 Plate too!!!) I’m hoping to take my toddler to the pool lots this summer – we did a few times last year but she was SO small, I’m hoping it’ll be a blast this year ❤️ Insta: @sharaylah

    what fun adventures do we have planned for the summer? Well, we really have not planned anything out yet. However, I am sure our summer will include picnics at the park, walks along the nature trail, splashing in the pool, a visit to the zoo and aquarium and lots of fun in the sun. My girls love to play outside. Thank you for sharing your review. @sahmof3girls
