we’ve already started checking things off our bucket list, starting with our hot cocoa dates!! listening to piper say, ‘ohhh, it makes my beh-wee so cooooozy!!’ is worth every single marshmallow that girls sticks in her mouth! i am seriously SO excited for all the fun to be had this season and we all know it most certainly won’t happen without some coffee.
if you’re anything like me, you’ve reheated your coffee 4x by the time 9am rolls around and you’re still only 3 sips in.

when i had the opportunity to try out sic cups, i was excited to give it the true test… toddlers. sic cups come with a lifetime warranty and these cups have been dropped no short of 10x times…on rocks, garage floors, tile, etc. and they aren’t showing a scratch.
my coffee stays hot, the girls milk and water stay cold and i can pack our cups first thing in the morning and still have a hot coffee keeping me going hours later…and bonus, the 12oz tumbler even fits in a standard cup holder!

you can snag your own sic cups for the whole family… offered in 12 different powder coated colors, your cups can be as individualized as kids! these would make the perfect gifts for any mama or even teacher in your life! even better, use the code ‘ihelpmoms‘ to take 15% off your order!! woo woo!
