My Baba

Many thanks for the well wishes. I am doing much better. The drive down Tuesday morning was rough but as of yesterday morning, I'm solid. Read into that as you choose.

Do you have a baba?

I have a baba.

My baba is my water bottle. It is an extension of myself. Hence, the term baba.

A co-worker coined the term about 5 years ago. I have since lost the original baba, purchased many others, and recently went for the best money could buy in my opinion.

I highly recommend a klean kanteen or stainless steel water bottle if you can find and afford one.

No more nightly washing out the plastic one nightly to keep the germs at bay.

I wash this one weekly and this is ok to do so since it is made from "100% recyclable, high-quality, food-grade, stainless steel that's contaminant and BPA-free" and "it won't ever leach nasty tastes or toxins into your drinks – no matter how many years you use it."

I have the 18 oz one with the loop cap in the orange sunset color. You saw that coming in the absence of a stainless steel color didn't you? Yeah, I'm predictable sometimes.

What I love the most about this is it keeps the water nice and cool. Plus, if it hits a wall or rolls on the floor, parking lot, etc., it doesn't look worse for wear. I'm thinking if I needed to use it as a weapon I probably could.

Me and my baba. My baba and me.

Peace and Love Peeps.

    That sounds like a very cool "baba", of course you know, that that's what us moms call a baby's bottle, right?
    But, HEY, that A-OK!! :)

  6. Elizabeth, I am not sure if they make one for hot drinks but I would imagine so. For the most part I am a cold drinking fool.

    Fiwa, Kitteh lovins' are the best.

    Dez, That is why he called it a baba. He said it's my bottle and I pull from it like a baby does a bottle. Ha!

    Kim, Sheesh, now I may have to go see what Starbucks has to offer. ;)

    Tina, Go for it girl!

  7. I want a baba. I keep saying I'm not buying water anymore, but I keep doing it. I've seen some nice stainless ones lately, but I didn't know all the benefits. I especially like the not having to wash it nightly. Good tip, as always, from the Mo.
