WHO HAS MY SIPPY CUP?!?! (BUSY MOM'S TIP OF THE WEEK)


Do you have more than 1 child and have the same sippy cups? Don't want to get them mixed up? Know those rubber bracelets, the one's that they have for charities and some just for fun? The one's for fun I put on our cups.  For instance one of my children has the purple band, he know's the purple band is his. Now no more getting them mixed up! Nomore, he or she has my drink - save's alot of headache's!



Do you have a Busy Mom's Tip? Please feel free to share them, when I get enough of them I will do a whole post on them and refer back to your blog!

    This is a great idea. I have seen bands made with children's names on them. This a cheaper way to mark cups.

    What a great idea! We no longer use sippy cups all the kids now drink out of regular glasses. However, I can use this same trick on those as we are always washing a ton of glasses each day cause they forget who's is who's and opt for a new glass. OY!

    That's a great idea! It could work for regular cups too! You could use it for birthday parties, and have several different colors of bands, with different sayings. Then at the end of the party let them take the bands home with them.

    Great mom tip! We don't use sippy's anymore but this would come in handy with their water bottles!

    This is brilliant! We go to a "WeeCare" for about an hour so mommy can workout, and they are very bad about whose cup is whose and I've been using masking tape & a sharpie! This is much better! (And more green!)

    Great idea for reusing those bracelets that we seem to have floating all over our house.

    Love your idea! So simple!

    Here's one of mine. We have 5 children and bought each of the older ones a $1.00 water bottle from Walmart and wrote their name on it with permanent marker. They keep them filled and in the fridge and the tops are all different colors. I never have to get water for them!

    What a great idea. Especially if your little one has to be like mommy or daddy and have the same one as you. Makes them happy to match and makes you not crazy when you get a drink of milk. Lol.

    I could have used this when I provided child care in my house! 3 boys all with similar cups was a hassle, esp since they all thought each was theirs lol
