Sorry I missed posting yesterday. I really am human! Computer needed a tune up, babysitting plans cancelled, typical day of mom goes offline. I am continuing to research some interesting topics and hope to share them over the next few days.
Meanwhile, I received a notice from SIGG that is very exciting. You may know that I am a fan of the SIGG bottles. I have several small ones for my kids (because we are always "misplacing" them in the car) and looked for a long time to find one with a sport top that I liked for myself. Well, here is my chance, and your chance, to design your own SIGG!
Here is the info they sent:
-----------
SIGG is running a contest which aims to find the next great Eco-Friendly design for their one-of-a-kind reusable and recyclable customized bottles. A percentage of sales from the winning bottle will go to a non-profit organization called Surf Riders, which fights to keep our oceans and beaches clean. The contest asks you to design a concept based on your personal “Eco-Style,” to design a SIGG bottle that represents your eco-outlook on life.
The winner’s bottle will be produced by SIGG in time for this year’s holiday season and sold exclusively at Patagonia and on http://www.MySIGG.com. The winner will also receive 100 bottles with his or her design to share with friends and colleagues.
Why is the theme Eco-Style?
Aside from being the only bottle designed with an inner coating resistant to fruit acids and isotonic drinks, SIGG bottles are also environmentally friendly - reusable and 100% recyclable.
How do you Enter?
You can enter the contest by visiting the site and downloading our eps bottle template. Then, just email us your completed design for voting at siggart@sigg.com. Design must be in jpeg format.
All visitors to the site can view submitted designs and vote on their favorite entries. (You can too!) The top ten vote-getters will be finalists and judged by our judging panel. Finalists will be judged on eco-sensibility, overall aesthetics and style.
When can I start and what’s the Deadline?
The contest is running NOW through June 1, 2007.
Free SIGG bottles for the Winner!
The winner’s bottle will be produced by SIGG in time for this year’s holiday season and sold exclusively at Patagonia and on http://www.MySIGG.com. The winner will also receive 100 bottles with his or her design to share with friends and colleagues.
A percentage of sales from the winning bottle will be donated to The Surfrider Foundation, a not-for-profit organization committed to protecting our oceans and beaches. Full rules are available at http://www.MySIGG.com/SIGGART.

Mornin' Green Mom!
Can you tell me what type of tops these bottles have? I have had my fill of sippy cups that, as we all know, aren't worth their salt without that pesky valve! Are these sport bottle-type tops? They're just so adorable.
The tops are plastic sport style tops. You can get them with other kinds of tops also (like a screw-in cork, better for older kids though).
The top does need to be taken apart for cleaning. It is pretty easy to do, though having a little brush to get inside the tiny opening might be nice.
They do not leak! I love that.
