I apologize for not getting one up yesterday - focused on taking care of my girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a huge advocate of carrying a water bottle everywhere all day long. This tip comes from Tracy and is AWESOME.
Linda,
I have gotten into the habit of taking my water bottle everywhere with me. My problem was always that after a while it would need replaced because no matter what I tried I never seemed to be able to get the bottom of it really clean.
OK, now I am going to sound like a commercial here:
I was watching Shark Tank a few weeks ago and saw the “clean bottle”. It is amazing.
The top AND the bottom unscrew so you can wash it really well. The pop top thingy also comes off for cleaning.
Mark Cuban was so impressed, he invested with the inventor and is going to have them for his NBA team.
Anyway, I went on a hunt to find one, and found one at a local bike shop. I love this thing. I take it everywhere. Best of all, I know it’s CLEAN.
Here is the link to the website, where you can order them, or do a search for them in your area: http://cleanbottle.com/
I am even going to get a couple more for the girls, because they are always trying to steal mine.
Enjoy,
Tracy

No need to apologize for having your priorities in the correct order. HUGS to you and the girls...
Just as soon as I saw Tracey's comment about cleaning the bottom...I thought of the water bottle I saw in my buying guide issue from Bicycling magazine...it was this same bottle!

As soon as I am a working person again, this will be one of my first purchases! I love this idea!!!

AWESOME! Will work for protein shakes as well, methinks.

I really love it now because I was very sick for the last couple of weeks and at least I know my water bottle is germ free because I was able to take it totally apart and scrub it. It really is the coolest thing I have come across in a long time.
