Welcome to this month’s edition of my Favorites, where I share products and services that have made my month just a little bit better. (You can see Favorites from months past here) By the way, this post is not sponsored by any of the companies I mention below. I have not received any of these products for free or been paid to give my opinion. I just really love and use all of them and want to share them with you! Some (not all) of them have affiliate programs, which means if you decide to purchase one of the products, I will receive a small commission for the purchase. This does not affect the price that you pay! Thanks for supporting the running of this blog, I hope you enjoy this little round up!
This first one is specific to those of you that have kids. I found a sippy cup that I think is just fabulous. I know, a funny word to use for a sippy cup, but it’s true. I first heard about it on a podcast (that was not about sippy cups or even about children, but moms like to share cool kid stuff). This mom has a child who has had some difficulty with eating and drinking and this cup was doctor approved for her child. It’s kind of hard to explain, but hopefully you get what I’m talking about through the pictures. The top is made of 2 pieces that create suction, which is what keeps the cup from leaking.
You can turn this thing upside down and shake it, no leaking. Your child can put their mouth anywhere on the lid, there is no special spout, and then drink by sucking the liquid through the lip of the lid. I really like this cup and wish I had more of them. I got mine on Amazon, it’s called the Munchkin Miracle 360 Sippy Cup. *affiliate link
Isn’t it funny how such small things can make you happy? These socks make me happy. Warm weather is in full swing, which means it’s time for no show socks. I have had some awful experiences with no show socks. I really hate it when they slip off of my heel, bunch up, or even come off of my toes! How is that possible? I could never tell which was the front and which was the back, it was so frustrating. I just avoided wearing my shoes that needed no shows for a while because I hated my socks so much. Then I found the Merona brand no shows at Target and I LOVE them! They come in several colors (I have white), although I’m not sure why you need different colors because, well, they don’t show. It is very clear which is the front of the sock and which is the back. They have little silicone grippers on the heel that keep the sock from slipping and I don’t feel them while I’m wearing them. They stay in place so, so well. They are a one-size-fits-all sock, and my husband can actually wear them too. I have not had luck finding them online (I hope that doesn’t mean that they stopped making them), but next time you’re in Target look for the Merona brand.
Gingham. I am so into gingham right now. I bought this shirt at the end of March (I blame HiSugarPlum, I want all her clothes) and it has been in heavy rotation.
It was actually my first time shopping with J Crew Factory as well, and I was really happy with the prices! In my opinion it runs a little big. I originally ordered a size small and it was very billowy in the torso area, so I exchanged for an XS. I do wear an XS on occasion, but usually a small. I also ordered a cute pair of shorts and they were a good 2 sizes too small, so I’m going to say that those were sized wrong too, m’kay? Okay.
I hope that you had an awesome April, did you find anything amazing this month? Share in the comment section below!

We have that cup and like it. My kids manage to make it leak sometimes by shaking it. We had the more expensive version (can’t remember the brand name) which never leaked and left it in a restaurant in KC ;(. Overall great cup though!

Yes we love those sippy cups, too!! We had a different brand before Munchkin came out with these (the original; the Wow cup) and surprisingly, it wasn’t as good as the Munchkin brand!
