Drink Up

We love reusable water bottles made of materials other than plastic because they are safer and cause significantly less harm to the environment.

Due to the increasing awareness and desire to avoid exposure to potentially harmful chemicals (BPA) leaching from cheap plastic alternatives, metal reusable water bottles have become all the rage. Here are a couple of our favorites for the little ones...

SIGG – http://www.mysigg.com/index.asp

SIGG bottles, made of aluminum, are lightweight, unbreakable and come in many different stylish designs. They are thoroughly tested to ensure 0% leaching of any substance - no trace of BPA, BPB or any phthalates.

Kleen Kanteen – http://www.kleankanteen.com

Klean Kanteen bottles are lightweight and made from electropolished, non-leaching 304 L.N. (18/8) stainless steel. The fun part is that they now come in a wide variety of cool colors for kids!

Popsicle Man by Aidan

Sailboats , rockets, shooting star, traditional creamsicle shaped pop – get them all and fill them with O.J. or low fat yogurt or pretty much anything else that freezes.  Now, it’s up to you whether you want to give in to popsicles for breakfast.

Mother's Day 9AM

Breakfast in Bed, Mary Cassatt.  She looks a bit wary and weary but that’s because she hasn’t had her coffee yet.

What better way to celebrate mom than to give her a luxurious delicious breakfast in bed. These Daniel Boulud eggs are amazing but beware grateful dads and kids, they are labor intensive. On the other hand, so is being a mom 364 mornings a year.
