EIO Cups [closed]

EIO Cups

I used glass bottles for my babies and was surprised, and a bit shocked, that I could not find glass sippy cups for them as toddlers. I looked all around and asked local business and could not find any.

I sent out on a hunt for some and found EIO cups! Let me gush as to why I love these.

No valves to loose, no spouts that get chewed on and very easy to clean. You will never find that gross black mold that can grow on other sippy cup lids and parts.

The other reason I love these? They attach to most canning jars! I picked up a whole case of canning jars from my grandma and now I have a whole set of cups. As I learn to adjust to having a toddler and a new baby – anything that makes my job easier is a bonus for me. The EIO cup helps at meal times as I am never searching for what lid attaches to what bottom and does it need a stopper or handles, etc attached  to it.

I open my cup drawer. Grab any EIO top, put it  on any canning jar and I’m set.

I hope to see these in local stores soon, but until then, purchase online at http://www.momsfinds.ca/

UPDATE: get 30% off at moms finds with the coupon code SASKMOMS

EIO Cups

The Inspiration

I had 2 children in 12 months and mealtime was crazy with all those sippy cups and their parts. My sippy cup drawer was a mess. (see more )

What makes your product unique/different?

The Kids Cup is a glass training cup that re-uses the 8 ounce canning jar. Right there makes it unique! The Kids Cup is meant to be a teaching tool because when children learn to sip they are training themselves to speak as well as it keeps our kids teach healthier.
Plus it is developed by a mom!

What keeps you motivated?

I am motivated by my desire to bring a product to market that is meaningful to kids and parents, is healthy, and educates children.

If you could have one super-hero power, what would it be?

Elastigirl, the mom from The Incredibles. Sometimes I wish I could stretch a bit farther or my arms were longer!

What is the most rewarding thing about running your own business?

Learning about business on the fly is an absolute adventure. Most importantly, including my husband and kids in my business has made for very meaningful conversations and learning experiences.

Where do you see your business in 5 years?

In five years I want EIO to have a line of mealtime products that are healthy, simple and encourage kids to learn new skills.

What is the most valuable lesson you have learned as a working mom {so far}?

Working and being a mom has taught me the importance of closing the computer, leaving the phone behind and enjoying the moment with my family. Then when it is time to work the laundry doesn’t get done, the breakfast dishes will sit there all day and it is all hands on deck when dinner time comes around. Since I only get 4-6 hours of work time, during the day, to focus on EIO I jam on it when I can.
