Healthy Mom, Healthy Kids + Giveaway!

I’ve written a lot about my healthy eating goals and I’m making a lot of progress.  But what’s the one thing that’s harder than getting myself to eat good food?  Getting a two year old to eat it too!  Actually, it’s getting a two year old to eat anything other than peanut butter and goldfish.  I always offer Aiden a variety of food and I have the motto that he’ll eat if he’s hungry.  But I can’t help but stress out a little when I know he’s gone 48 hours without any veggies.  I’ll keep at it, but in the meantime I have a little trick up my sleeve that’s helped out quite a bit!

I found Re-Play items originally on Instagram.  They have great posts (@replayrecycled), you should follow them!  I was in search of a sippy cup that really didn’t spill and through their “no spill challenge,” I found one!  I also happened to be a VERY lucky winner of an Instagram contest and won their entire collection.  It came at a perfect time as I needed something to spark Aiden’s interest in food and Audrey was really taking off with solids. 

I definitely recommend trying out all of their products, but my favorites so far have been the sippy cups, bowls and divided plates.  These cups really do not spill, I swear!  Aiden accidentally slept with one all night and there was not a drop of milk in his bed the next morning.  Audrey is starting to use a cup and these have been a great transition from a bottle. 

The little bowls are perfect for mac and cheese, cottage cheese or cereal and even ice cream!  I think I’ve used these bowls for myself more than I have for the kids.

And when Aiden helped me unpack our winnings, he took an interest in the plates.  I let him pick his color for each meal and it helps him to have the food visually divided.  And it forces me to make sure and give him a variety!

Another fun fact…these products are made from recycled milk jugs!  They are safe to use (read all about that here) and are dishwasher safe.  The price point is great too.

So you’ll be seeing a lot of these plates, bowls, utensils and cups as I post more about my kids and their eating habits.  I want eating to be fun for them and for them to see it as the fuel they need to have energy.  Aiden still loves French fries and ice cream (who doesn’t?), but I’m glad to now have some help in getting him to try some new things.

And the best part of this post!  You can win a set of Re-Play products!  Their theme for July is “nautical” and they have been nice enough to offer up their nautical set to one of my readers.  All you have to do is comment on this post with your child's favorite food! This contest will run now through July 3^rd and the winner will be notified July 6^th.  Good luck!

Win this set!
