BACK TO ISSUE TWENTYTHREE

Mama and Baby Geek!
Keeping fit while pregnant is one thing keeping up with an energetic two-year-old is another. Mama Geek keeps her cool on the hottest days by choosing easy-care clothing and gear.

Mama Geek

1. Hat
Proving that sun-safe clothing can be colorful and safe, Mama Geek crowns her tresses with a raspberry-colored Rolled Brim Hat from Sun Precautions. A chin strap keeps the hat in place on breezy days. www.sunprecautions.com

2. Sunglasses
Mama Geek goes Native, at least when it comes to eye protection. Her tortiseshell frames are lightweight and sturdy, with polarized lenses. www.nativeeyewear.com

3. Backpack
Mama Geek uses Deuter’s ACT Lite backpack instead of a diaper bag. Weighing in at just over 3 lbs, this capacious pack makes the perfect carry-all. The adjustable harness and bilaminate hip belt ensure comfort.

4. Wrap
Mama is mindful of the environment and chose this Prana jersey cotton wrap because it is made from organic cotton and blended with spandex for extra comfort. www.prana.com

5. Shirt
“Geek Chic” is what Mama calls her Crush Sport Top. Made with Viana® performance fabric, the ruched front and elasticized side seams offer a looser fit and lasting shape retention, making this a comfortable choice for early pregnancy...Baby Geek No. 2 is due September 2007. www.prana.com

6. Kanteens
Both Mama and Baby have their own:
Durable, ultralight stainless steel is the key component in the environmentally friendly Klean Kanteen. These sport bottles range from 12 oz to 40 oz. There is even a sippy-cup-styled bottle for Baby Geek. www.kleankanteen.com

7. Shoes
The Viana shoe, with its Mary Jane styling, leather and suede upper, and adjustable fit make
strolling a pleasure. By Tsubo®:

Baby Geek

8. Hat
It’s never too early to protect your skin. Baby Geek is wearing a Kid’s Legionnaire Hat. With a protective bill and neck drape, this hat keeps the sun away from little faces, ears, and necks. A chin strap keeps the hat secure. www.sunprecautions.com

Shirt
Make fun in the sun safe for the little one: Baby Geek is wearing a lightweight, long-sleeved surf shirt. Sunscreen not included, but still necessary.

Dog Geek
Dog Geek is all dressed up and waiting on the missus. They’re going for a hike. Or a swim. Or an overnight journey. Maybe all three... he can’t tell.

His RuffWear Ensemble Includes:
• A Go Between Cinch Top™ and a Quencher™, collapsible food and water bowls.
• His Mt. Bachelor Pad™. The portable, oversized bed keeps a leash on pet hair and dirt and is ideal for camping or just lounging in the yard.
• Stylin’ Bark’n Boots™ GripTrex™, all condition, all-terrain, all-season paw wear.
• A Cloud Chaser™ Soft Shell Jacket. This storm-ready topper is waterproof, windproof, insulating, and breathable.
• A Stow’n Go Leash™ More for the missus, since Dog Geek doesn’t think he needs a leash — this all-in-one combo puts leash, collar, and pickup bag dispenser into one handy package.
• His own backpack: The Approach Pack™ II lets Dog Geek carry his own gear and yours.
• And, a K-9 First Aid Kit™. All the missus needs to stanch a deep cut or a or a broken toe nail — hers included.

And the cat? Well, that’s Butterscotch, and she’s just too cool to be a geek. www.ruffwear.com
