Wow! It’s already that time of the year again – 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party! Thanks for stopping by Sippy Cup Mom and pour that glass of champagne or wine as you hop through all of these blogs! And drink one for me, will you? I’m currently nursing twins!
My name is Melissa and I’m a blogger and work-at-home mama. Here on Sippy Cup Mom is where I blog about a little bit of this and a little bit of that! I love covering everything from our travels, Disney {We’re a little bit obsessed!}, technology, recipes, entertainment, reviews, giveaways and more!
You’ll also find me sharing about my newborn twins {they just turned 5 weeks old!} and my five year old son who is always on the go-go-go!
Lately, you’ll find me on Pinterest in the middle of the night when I’m up with those gorgeous girls or trying to read a book on my new Kindle Fire that my hubby got me for Christmas. I have a slight reading obsession and I’m currently reading Firefly Lane for about the 5th time!
I also love the St. Louis Cardinals and try to attend as many games as possible! Not sure how many games I’ll get to attend this season, but I’ll be cheering them on from home!
If you like crafts, check out the weekly feature Make it Pretty Wednesdays, written by my super amazing contributor Natalie.
She rocks.
Let’s Connect!
Stick around, leave a comment and let me know where I can find you – and don’t mind if you get a comment from me in the middle of the night, I keep odd hours lately! Let’s party!
Tanya @ Blogelina says
Melissa – such cute kiddos! I bet you are a pro at time management to be able to blog – with twins! Love the colors in your design, by the way!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
Mandi says
Congrats on your twins!! Wow, your home is filled with blessings!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thank you so much Mani, it definitely is!
julie nowell says
oh my – and i thought one boy was bad enough! Good luck!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Haha, it can be! When I just had my 5 year old it was nuts!
Cathi says
Happy UBP!!
I have got to get me some baby snuggles! Gorgeous family Melissa!! Party on!!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thank you so much Cathi! <3 Wish you were closer, it would be great for you to snuggle with them!
Xenia @ Thanks, Mail Carrier says
Will you finally agree to move closer to me so that I can come snuggle your babies? My girls would keep Hayden busy (although they are both totally baby crazy, so they would probably try to sneak off with at least one of the twins) and then we could chat. DO IT. 😉
Love you, Mama!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Oh, I SO wish we lived closer!! I would love for you and your sweet girls to come over all the time!
Hollie says
Those twins are adorable. Got to love them. Wow you have your hands full with 3 under 5 I remember those days well.
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thank you so much Hollie!
Lisa- The Domestic Life Stylist says

You’re so sweet – thank you!!
Heather @ Life as we know it... says
We have something in common, I’ve got twin girls 🙂 They are 3 & half and my son is 5 & half. Enjoy every second of the babies being little, I miss when they would snuggle together & sleep (now they have that love/hate relationship going on, haha!) Nice to meet you through #UBP13!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Oh, how fun! I keep telling myself that these months will go by fast and to enjoy the snuggles and late night wakeups! 😉
That Odd Mom says
Blogging with new twins and an active 5 year old, I bow down to you! : ) You would probably find me with my face planted in a drool covered pillow every chance I got.
Sippy Cup Mom says
Haha! I go back and forth between being SO tired but then when I actually lay down, I can’t sleep!!
Elizabeth L says
Congrats on your Twins!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks Elizabeth!
Cher says
I can’t even imagine the craziness of twins and a 5 year old. I have 3 kids (6, 4, and 19 months) and I am constantly pulled in different directions!
Sippy Cup Mom says
It sounds like you have the same craziness! I am imagining it will get worse once the girls become toddlers!
Jeanine says
congrats on your beautiful new additions! kudos to you for nursing twins too! it’s draining (pun intended!) nursing one, I can’t imagine 2! God bless and enjoy those kiddos 🙂
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thank you SO much, Jeanine!
Maggie says
Congratulations on your twins! I just had one of my own…4 months ago…not really “just.” We love Disney as well over here! I believe you know my mom, Linda 🙂
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks Maggie…your son is so cute! And yes, your mom is awesome!
Sandra says
Visiting from UBP2013!
What beautiful boys you have, and congratulations on your twins 🙂
We love Disney as well, I would go every year if I could LOL
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks so much Sandra! And me too – we always say we should move there, haha!
Wendy [mapsgirl] says
Hello from #UBP13 !!!
Congrats on your beautiful family!!! I look forward to reading more of your blog 🙂
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks so much Wendy!
Amanda @ The Mommy Mix says
Just stopping by to Party! Congrats on the twins! I have a 6month old and I often catch myself on Pinterest or Twitter for those middle of the night feeds also. As for Disney… I wish, I have never been but it is one of my life long dreams. One that I one day hope to conquer with my boys!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks so much, Amanda! I actually kinda like that Pinterest is my middle of the night time haha! You would love Disney! Well, I think everyone would!
Hope for the Weary Mom says
Oh my word they are so sweet! Love those littles!
Disney is fun — magical, right?
Stopping by from UBP13!

Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks Stacey! And yes it is!
Stacie says
Your children are beautiful! I miss those younger years. They grow up so quickly.
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks Stacie! During this newborn phase, I keep telling myself to enjoy it! 😉
Tami @Colorado Mountain Mom says
Hey Melissa,
Just dropping by to say “hi”, take in any new pictures of those adorable kids of yours (although I have to say my favorite pic in this post is Supermom with Superman – YEAH!), and tell you once again that I love you – you are a darling person, and I’ll always think of you as my gracious and lovely blogging mentor!
Happy thoughts your way from Colorado! Let’s party – wooo hooo!! Go #UBP13!
P.S. I really, really, really wanna win a grapic design or blog makeover prize this year… cross your fingers for me, I need it! 😉
Sippy Cup Mom says
Aw, thank you Tami!! You are just so sweet! I have my fingers crossed that you win a blog makeover! I know how good it made me feel when I got mine done!!
Jamie H says
Stopping by from UBP13. Congrats on the twins! My co-blogger (Lindsi) has 5 year old boy/girl twins (plus a 6 year old and a 2 year old!). I’ve got a 4 and 6 year old. Having fun digging through your blog a bit.
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks Jamie! That is awesome, I love finding twin mom bloggers! Headed to your blog!
Susan (5 Minutes for Mom) says
Hey Girl, thank you so much for joining the party!
Your twin babies are precious… but I imagine exhausting to nurse two babies at a time. I always say I love BEING a twin, but I don’t think I’d want to have them.
I bet their big brother adores them!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Thanks so much, Susan! It definitely has been a little exhausting so far! 😉 I kept thinking twins, twins, twins but it finally hit me the other day that I have TWO newborns, who wants that?! LOL!
Kerrie @ Family Food and Travel says
As a mom of twin boys I absolutely understand what you are going through. What a wild time that is when they are young!
Excited to find your blog on the Ultimate Blog Party!
Rona says
Congratulations on your twin boys!
I hope you’re having a terrific time at the UBP13.
You have a wonderful blog and family.
Lori Thomas says
Congrats on the twins, sooo cute!!
Colleen says
You are an amazing momma! When my son was five weeks old I was still barely showering everyday and he is and was my only child–you’re writing blog posts! I’m so happy to have found your blog!
orangeheromama says

You do so rock! The kids are adorable, the fact that you’ve read the same book five times means we’ll be the very best of friends, I’m convinced and this space is so uplifting and bright. It is such a sweet pleasure to have found you at the Ultimate Blog Party. I’m following you and your work on twitter, pinterest and every which way now and can’t wait to get to know you better.
If you’re up for it I’d so love to have you join me for the ride at Local Sugar Hawaii, we’re riding the wave of life together, one silly adventure at a time.
xo,
Nicole
