If you live in California, then the topic of water is probably going to come up at some point in a conversation, online, or in the news. When it rains, we do a little happy dance. Ok, I don't. But I also don't complain about it.
I recently read this article about bottled water, and it reminded me that I probably buy too much. While this author is clearly against any form of bottled water, I don't think I can realistically never use them again, simply because I'm just not that organized. And with kids, well, the convenience factor often times outweighs my good intentions.
But that doesn't mean I can't take a few small steps and that starts with having the right refillable bottles around that my kids and I might actually use.
I have had this one for a little while and I love it. It's BPA-free and you can infuse your water with any type of citrus - lemon, lime, clementine, etc. It's also top-rack dishwasher safe!
My kids are not big reusable bottled water drinkers. They swear they start to smell funny after a few uses. It's a challenge, but I've found a few that so far are doing the trick - and all are BPA-free!
CamelBak Better Bottle. My son likes this one because of the flip up straw, and I've found they are pretty easy to clean.
Sigg Lifestyle Water Bottle: My daughter likes these because you can find some pretty cool designs. I on the other hand am not a huge fan for two reasons: 1- It's really hard to put ice in them 2- those little caps seem to always get lost.
Reduce Everyday, WaterWeek: I don't have these yet, but I love the idea. If I saw them at Target, I might just have to have them. Five bottles stored in a container, ready to go when you are. They come in smaller versions too for the little ones.
