Favorite Things Friday: Camelbak Better Bottle

I have to apologize about not posting yesterday!  I was running from 6am to about 8:30pm yesterday, and hadn't had a chance to get a post up.  I was taking care of lots of family business.

My goal is to post every weekday for a year.  We'll see if I can do it, knowing well that a day here and there will be missed because of life.  This week I have been running and running and not stopping.  I have loved having water with me all the time.  So, this week I love my water bottle!

Let me tell you the story about me and water bottles.  When I was recently out of high school, I needed a cup to drink out of that was spill proof for work.  I found a sippy cup with a straw and lid (with monkeys or something on it), much like this one, and bought it.  I took it to work, and dealt with comments and teasing.  I loved being able to "sip" it out of the cup.  I grew up a bit, got married, and got rid of the sippies.

I tried normal water bottles, but I can't drink in a moving car while my husband is swerving trying to make me spill or while walking if it's just an open mouth.  So, I found this bottle.  And love it.  It's a bit pricey for a silly water bottle, but it's worth it.  The Easter Bunny brought it to me. Seriously.  This week, I have loved having my water bottle with me.  This one is the .5L or 16oz. I've been eying a stainless insulated version of this one, but I love this one.   I just keep a pitcher of water in the fridge and I always have cold water available to me.  The wide mouth is large enough to put ice in the bottle to keep it extra cool when needed.  Enough said.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and 4th of July!
