My kids and SIGG

Friday, September 21, 2012



I'm sure my kids are not the only children who can't seem to get in the car without calling out "I'm thirsty!" 5 minutes after we pull out of the drive. In fact, I'm sure I was one of those kids myself.

So, I've always had the habit of taking a water or drink of some sort with us. I prefer reusable bottles and have experimented with various types, materials, handles and spouts.

We always have a drink with us. Whether we are out shopping, attending an event or sitting in church. There is a bottle of water somewhere in my purse. The different activity usually requires a different type of bottle. However, I've found that a lot of them leak into my purse if not propped up carefully.


 Which is why I loved the design of the SIGG kids' bottle tops. Unless they are twisted and closed - the lid will not shut! Therefore I am not placing a bottle into my purse and believe it to be closed when it is not.

I can't put the lid down unless the bottle top was properly turned and sealed.  You can also get a Sport Top if you like, but for now we'll stick with the kids' top.


Another concern I have with various bottles is the taste.  A lot of materials give a funny taste to the liquid inside.  I didn't notice that with the SIGG bottles.  The kids seemed to find the taste just right as well - as they didn't complain as they have about other bottles.

They were also the perfect bottles to take with us to our favorite amusement park.  We always bring water bottles of some sort with us when we visit an amusement park or state park - or any time we will be spending a lot of the day outside.  They held up well, were easy to tote around with us - and as I said previously, they didn't make the water taste funny!

Mommy, did you bring a drink?

Tuesday, March 20, 2012



We may be on a lazy Summer stroll or on a quick trip to the market - and as if perfectly rehearsed, my children ask "Mommy, did you bring a drink?".

We aren't capable of being without something to drink. At any given moment. We must always bring a drink. A juice. A water. A something!

I do have a few memories from childhood, where I thought I may actually die if I didn't get a drink. That soda machine catching my eye. Reminding me just how dry and parched my mouth was.

So, I can relate. They over estimate the seriousness of the situation. As did I.

I have developed the habit of carrying a purse large enough to conceal a water bottle or to-go cup. Or maybe having a cross-body bag that a drink container can easily hook onto. {That by the way, is fantastic when on vacation!}

If I need to carry a drink at all times - I also need to purchase clever drink containers, right? Much to my husband's chagrin, I've accumulated many of them.

Luckily for him, the last acquired to-go cups were provided for me in the form of a product review.

The Safe Sporter has definitely come in handy. It has a TPR sleeve for easy and comfortable gripping {it also removes easily!}.  The mud lid and pull spout work together perfectly to help keep my shoulder bag dry, should it happen to tip over.

It also did NOT have that weird taste that some drink containers of its type have.  Everything tasted just as it should!  It's definitely being added to the Take-On-Vacation list!

JAWS Cleaners Review & Giveaway Ends 1/23

Friday, January 6, 2012


I enjoy cleaning. I do. I love things to be organized and in their place. I love getting my house dust-free and sparkling. Though, realistically, that hasn't happened since my oldest was too little to crawl.

Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to use a few new cleaners. I adore the way they save space... and in doing so, helping save the environment!


JAWS {Just Add Water System}


The refillable, reusable, remarkable way to clean.
Just fill our reusable spray bottle with H2O, pop in a super-concentrated cleaning cartridge and you’ve got eco-friendly cleaning power wherever you need it. It’s an innovative, easy-to-use, non-toxic* and effective system that reduces plastic in landfills, conserves resources and saves you cash. In fact, when you finish your Just Add Water™ starter kit and buy cartridge refills, you can make 2 full bottles of cleaner for less than $2.00 each.

When you stop and re-think about it, there’s no smarter
way to clean.

You may be curious as to how you are saving the environment when you first purchase the "empty" spray container... however, attached to it is an awesome cleaning solution!  Fill the spray bottle with water and then insert the concentrated cleaning cartridge, return the spray nozzle to it's place and watch as the water begins to mix with the solution.

You'll reuse the spray bottle and purchase separate cleaning cartridges, simple!  Saves on space {if you like to stock up like I do!} and helps to save the environment.

Their products include:  

Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner

Multi-Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser

Bathroom Cleaner Deodorizer

Disinfectant Cleaner Degreaser
