How Gross is it Not to Wash Your Water Bottle Every Day
Admit it, you’ve skipped a day (or maybe five) without giving your reusable water bottle a proper scrubbing. Which is your favorite rationalization? “It’s just water in there,” “I washed it yesterday,” or maybe “It’s BPA-free, so I’m good?” Staying hydrated and doing you part for the environment by opting for a reusable bottle are commendable, but don’t sabotage those healthy habits by exposing yourself to potentially unhealthy and harmful bacteria. Find out how germy those bottles get if you skip daily washings from nutritionist, Dana White!

Meet a Dad
Meet Fred and Greg (our “dads”)
While these two dads may seem remarkably similar (both work at Bridgewater, both love golf – one slightly more than the other!- and both are often willing to hold down the fort at any bar on a Saturday night), they met fortuitously through their wives (go us!) just 5 years ago. Fred and Greg both have older daughters and younger sons, and love spending time with them at the Beach, on hikes (Fred) and at Longshore (Greg). Some may not know that Fred loves playing the piano and the always up for a good time Greg embraces his quiet time at home with the kids. While they both claim that we keep their lives in order and help them be the best dads they can be, on this Father’s Day, we are grateful to them for loving us, our kids, and for supporting us on this journey.
