Things We Love...

Lately we have a new obsession in this house.  It all started with my hubby going to CrossFit, which is a different post all together.  As it turns out, when you are doing exercises made to make your heart all but explode, you need to drink more water.  hmm. 

I have been an avid water drinker since college, carrying around my trusty water bottle to class, gym, meetings etc.  My husband, not so much.  So since getting married I have been trying to get him to drink more water.  Ive tried just about everything, with the only mildly successful things being 24 packs of disposable water bottles.  And since I'm a little too "green" for that (and not willing to give up my fridge space to 2 dozen water bottles) I kept trying.  Aluminum bottles, fail.  Wide mouth bottles, fail. 

So one day we went to Target and spent some ample time in the water bottle isle.  And lo and behold, i Find this...

Stuck to the side is a little sticker that says people who drink out of a Camelbak Bite Valve drink 24% more water.  So I bite the bullet and purchase 2.  And believe it or not...IT WORKS!  Clint and I have both been guzzling water since I bought them about a month back!  The little bite valve is a bit addictive.  Its easy to open, easy to drink out of (even in the car or while exercising), and no spill.   Which especially comes in handy since our 2 year old all but claimed mine for herself.  That is, until our sweet friends bought her her own kiddie Camelbak!  So now we all have little matching hydration systems.  Sweet.

We are avid Camelbak users now, and I have since convinced my aunt to buy one.  Day one of using it she downed 2 whole bottles, which she never even gets close to!  I'm a believer!  Thanks for solving my 5 year dilemma,  Camelbak!
