Giveaway: Strawlution

Kid parties are often known for concluding with a big mess for the hostess to clean up. There are cake crumbs in the carpet. Little bits of paper being chewed up by the dog (or the baby if you live at my house). And inevitably, some kid decides to make a big pink stain with his juice cup right in the middle of the living room. Right?

Recently, I came across a product call Strawlution. It is a straw that goes in, but doesn't come out. That ought to foil the neighborhood brat's attempts to ruin your carpet for sure. You can use it in juice boxes, yogurt or pudding cups, or anything else that is drinkable through a straw.

I've let Charlotte use these straws when she has a drink in the car because the number one no-no for us is pulling the straw out. It works especially well with those little chug milks too that you get in the drive thru. For those extremely rare days when nothing else is available. (Was I convincing enough?)

Enough of my fast food habit... back to the straws. These work. Period. And they are dishwasher safe, BPA free, and reusable. Unless you leave them in the half-drank milk chug in the car for days. Then you should throw them away. I am just guessing on this on though. Because we don't eat food from a drive thru. Ever. (Am I protesting too much?)

This product was so neat and original to me, that I asked if I could give one away to one of you. The 12-pack means you will have enough for the typical kids party. And if you have more than 12 kids coming over for a party... I hope you hired a nanny.

The Strawlution comes in 4 colors - blue, yellow, green, or pink and cost $4.99/12-pack. If you are a subscriber, you can more read about Strawlution in the September issue of Parenting Magazine.
