Ultimate Blog Party ‘08 and Go BPA Free Sippy Cup Sampler Giveaway

NOTE: This contest has ended.

Welcome to our Blog Party! We thought this would be a great time to give you an inside look at who’s really behind The Soft Landing.

We’re a very tight-knit family, each other’s best friends and confessed baby addicts. For real - we go through withdrawals if we don’t get a regular “baby fix.” Our business is comprised of Nanna and her four Girls. We do the research and work hard to make the business run like clockwork. Papa and the Girls’ Husbands keep the warehouse in tip-top shape. Papa’s masterful motto has always been, “The toilet has GOT to flush, or the rest doesn’t even matter!” And don’t forget our Homegrown Testers, the famous Babies. Okay, some of our Babies are older now and refuse to test out our sippy cups for some reason, so they work in the warehouse breaking down boxes, re-stocking inventory and entertaining the younger Babies :)

This is Nanna. She can hold the Babies and give the Girls orders at the same time!

This is me, Alicia. I’m the Boss oldest Girl. I’m actually doing research here - seriously!

Meet Girl number 3, Shipper Extraordinare - she can ship with a Baby on her hip and one arm tied behind her back!

This is Papa (a.k.a. the Can Do man) and his only Granddaughter (so far, we’re well stocked with boys!)
Here are those Babies Big Kids moving timber at the warehouse after a storm

We love our Babies, our jobs and our fantastic readers. Does it get any better than this?? The only thing that could make us any happier, is making one of you happier. So we’re giving away one of our newest brainstorms:

If you’re ready to Go BPA Free but don’t know where to start, life just got easier. We’ve gathered the best in BPA free sippy cups so you can try before buying your full stash. The Sampler Kit also makes the perfect baby shower or birthday gift for parents concerned about toxic plastic!

The Sippy Sampler Kit is perfect for babies 6+ months. The kit includes a variety of safer plastic and stainless steel cups, training spouts and straw spouts, as well as vented and non-vented options:

  • One 7oz Foogo Stainless Steel Sippy with leak-proof valve
  • One 9oz Think Baby Training Cup with soft silicone spout and chunky handles
  • One 10oz Nuby Sport Sipper with silicone straw spout
  • One 12oz Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Sippy with Avent sippy spout

All sippy cups in the kit have been confirmed with each manufacturer to be Bisphenol-a, Phthalate, and PVC free. The winner will have their choice of boy or girl colors. You can find details on how to enter this contest and hundreds more at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008.

    It's great to see that mainstream companies like Playtex are providing safe and healthy options for sippy cups. Love your website! It helps my sanity to have someone keeping a vigilant eye open on safe products for our children.
