Building Better Habits with EveryDrop™ Water Filter + a giveaway!

As a mom one of the things I try hard to do with my kids is to help them build better habits. Making the right food choices, keeping their homework organized, and not trashing where we live is high on the list. I try hard to teach them to respect things, protect and preserve what we can. Enter the EveryDrop™ Water Filter!

Since we are on the go A LOT, we had been getting back into the habit of buying lots of bottled water. It’s quick, easy, and in the desert we drink a ton of water. I mean a ton! We’d be good about bringing cups with us but then we’d just buy for the rest of the day. My kids got my wonderful strong sense of smell and taste and would often complain about “yucky water” from the city. In their defense, Phoenix water is very highly chlorinated – as in, I can smell chlorine when I turn the faucet on.

I hadn’t had much luck with “portable” filters because who wants to lug around the entire pitcher or wait for those things to filter the water?! So when we first tried out the EveryDrop™ Water Filter I was seriously impressed (and that’s hard to do since I’m very picky about my water). After preparing the filter and filtering water straight from my faucet, it no longer smelled like chlorine and had little to no taste! So crazy!

I especially love that this filter can fit into pretty much any type of bottle or pitcher because of its shape, and it filters fast! My youngest started cross-country this year and sucks down his 16oz water bottle pretty quickly, but doesn’t like the taste of water from the drinking fountain so we tested it out on the go at the park. The filter comes with its own case (shown in the photo above next to the package) so you can throw it in your purse, gym bag, or car to use on the road. (I love it while hiking!)

It works quick enough that he doesn’t get impatient, and totally worked. He had no complaints! The EveryDrop™ Water Filter makes it easier (and quicker) for me to help build those good habits with my boys (and keeps them from having to drink the dreaded yucky water).
