Cleaning 27 oz Klean Kanteen

lvexler — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:54:01 +0000

Yesterday I started using a 27 oz Klean Kanteen. I had previously been using a 1L Sigg bottle but left it at the gym (of course it’s one that is not available to replace right now - so sad).

I love the shape of my new Green Moss Klean Kanteen bottle - it fits in the cup holder in the car and is easy to hold. The sports cap is really easy to drink from as well.

This morning I went to clean it and found that my regular grocery store-bought bottle brush does not reach the bottom of it… oh no!

Well, I pulled out a Sigg Cleaning Brush, and it works great - I previously wasn’t 100% sold on these brushes because I thought the slightly less expensive ones you can get everywhere would do the trick… now I see their worth - they are long, lean, flexible and get into all the nooks and crannies. I highly recommend this product!

Gedeon has his own little cotton blankie.

Cerise is holding a candy that crinkles when touched.

Our First Real Stork Mom Profile

lvexler — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:45:53 +0000

Every so often we are going to feature a profile of a “Real Stork Mom”. Our first one feature’s Kimberly from Ottawa. Upcoming profiles will feature moms who hail from coast to coast and across the continent.

Name: Kimberly
Age: 34
Home: Ottawa, ON
Family’s Names and Ages: Mark 34, Teagan 3, Avery 10 months
Occupation: Database Administrator

If I had a day to myself…: If I had a whole day to myself I would sleep in as late as I could (which is hard even when I want to!), go to the Scandinavian spa for a few hours, have lunch at my favourite vegetarian restaurant near the spa, go home and read a book for the rest of the afternoon and then enjoy a dinner with my family that I didn’t cook.

My ideal day with my family: On weekends we have a little tradition of playing with the kids in our bed in the morning before getting breakfast ready. After breakfast it’s fun to hang out with the girls and watch them play or bake something with my oldest daughter. Then we would go to a park with a pool and play there until it was time to return home for dinner and bed. Once the girls are in bed my husband and I would snuggle down and watch a movie.

Stuff I can’t live without: Caffeine, books, my wireless laptop and the Internet

Favourite mommy tip(s) to share with other moms: Tie dyed shirts make great daycare clothes because they can get stains and you can pretend it’s just a part of the colouring.

Favourite Stork Stuff: All of it! Right now though I’m very fond of the Klean Kanteen Kolor sippy cups. Every time I’m out with one I’m stopped by a parent (or several) asking where I’d gotten it. In fact I’ve bought a few extra for upcoming birthday gifts.

Babies Go Music for babies (and grown-ups)

lvexler — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:20:18 +0000

We received these CDs about a month ago but I just haven’t had a chance to write about them, but I certainly have been meaning to because THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!! Instead of listening to the same 5 lullabies that seem to be programmed into every bouncy seat, swing or other musical baby toy, you can listen to your favourite artists songs arranged for babies.

Angie at Hush Little Baby, our partner store, has requested Madonna. She is sure that she and her daughter can “rock out” to it. There are albums for every taste - from Elton John, to Cold Play to Bob Marley. Don’t see it on our site, let us know who you’re looking for and we can special order it for you if available. You can listen to sample below.
