Being a mom is about always juggling work, errands, meal prep, kids, and everything in between. With so much calling on your time and energy, you can lose sight of the simplest (and most important) thing: staying hydrated. But staying hydrated gives you more energy, enhances concentration, keeps your immune system strong, and makes you feel your best, something that every mom needs.
1. Start Your Day with a Full Bottle
Hydrating starts the moment you wake up. Before reaching for your morning coffee, reach for a full water bottle. Your body perspires at night, and starting the day hydrated can increase metabolism and get your system going.
Hack: Place your LOCH bottle on your bedside table and fill it at bedtime. That way, it's ready in the morning.
2. Drink from a Reusable Water Bottle You Really Like
Be real if your water bottle is stashed in a cabinet or isn't your style, you won't grab it and go. Invest in a good-looking, high-quality bottle like the LOCH stainless steel insulated bottle that keeps water temperature for 24 hours. It is elegant, long-lasting, and presents well on your stroller, diaper bag, or car cup holder.
Bonus: The LOCH bottle is plastic-free and BPA-free safe for you and your kiddos.
3. Make Your Water Taste Good and Be Fun
If plain water isn't exciting enough for your taste, add a few fruit, herb, or cucumber slice flavorings to it. Flavored water can add a measure of excitement and refreshing zing to drinking water especially on a hot summer afternoon.
Try this: lemon + mint, orange + basil, or strawberry + lime in your LOCH bottle.
4. Make It a Family Habit
Make drinking water a fun family goal. If your kids catch you drinking water throughout the day, they will likely follow suit. Make a mini "hydration challenge" at home, and let your kids decorate their own bottles with stickers.
Tip: Keep multiple LOCH bottles out so all family members can drink up, whether you're off on a school run, playdate, or family trip.
5. Set Smart Reminders
You don't always need an app reminding you to drink water (though that's useful as well). Attach drinking to things you already do after each diaper change, after school drop-off, or during screen time.
Hack: Every time you reach for your phone, take a sip. It adds up more than you think!
6. Stay Cool on the Go
Busy moms are always on the move. Whether you’re heading to the park, the supermarket, or your next meeting, your LOCH bottle will keep your water ice-cold without any plastic taste. It’s a small thing, but a cool sip of water on a hot day can instantly refresh your mind and body.
Final Thoughts
Hydration isn't another task on your to-do list, it's self-care. And the healthier you feel, the healthier you can be there for your family. With a few simple tweaks and a trusty LOCH water bottle in your hand, drinking more water comes as second nature even on the most hectic days.
Because moms do it all and staying hydrated should be something that's easy.
