I have read MANY articles on kids health and nutrition over my almost 9 years of mom-hood. There are as many different opinions and techniques out there on nutrition for kids as there are for adults. It basically comes down to do what works for you. I have found what works for me. It may not…
I am Continually Surprised
We had a book club meeting last weekend, and one of the ladies said “I looked up you blog and I really like it! It’s cute!” And inside I did a little happy dance and jumped up and down and screamed they like it! Somebody likes it! On the outside I was calm and collected…
Drawing on my Tomboy Knowledge
If you haven’t been able to guess from some previous posts, or you are new to Beyond the Sippy Cup, I am a Tomboy. I am okay with that. You know what? I am more than okay with it! I am comfortable and proud of the fact that I am a Tomboy! I have…
Borrowing with Permission
I don’t want you to think that I’m too lazy to write my own post this week, but I just came across a friends article that is totally worth sharing. I could have not better stated how I feel than what she wrote. (If that sentence isn’t confusing enough) I couldn’t have said it better….

Mommy Brain
I suffer from Mommy Brain. There is so much going on in my mind and my house that whole days will pass and I have been super busy and not managed to have completed a single task. Like right now. I am working on an article for the blog, when it dawns on me that…
The Name Game
I am tired of referring to my children as the 8 year old, the 6 year old, and the 4 year old. Plus they have birthdays coming up, and then it is just going to get real confusing to those of you who do not know me and my children in real life. For reasons…
