This post from YummyMummyClub.ca made me laugh this morning it proves the point I guess that a mother’s work is never done. I’ll be honest one of the things I miss most about having an office to go to each morning is having the time to enjoy at least a couple sips of nice warm cup of tea to start off my day. I’ve tried to enjoy tea at home, I really have, but it eventually ended up spilled, contaminated by random Tiny Human food or turned depressingly cold before I had a chance to drink it.
Then I discovered S’well bottles, which claim to keep liquids cold for 24 hours and warm for 12 hours. As a huge water drinker I am always on the look out for new water bottles. (My almost 4 years of parenting have taught me that glasses of water are just asking for trouble) I pined over the bottles for a couple of months but could not justify the price tag. I put a bottle on my Christmas list and hoped for the best. The Tiny Humans aided by their awesome Daddy came through. Tiny Human #1 picked out the bottle, a pattern called “Dark Hearted”a total coincidence her father assures me.
Guess what, the bottle actually works. I can now have a cup of warm tea that lasts for hours. I can even make tea the night before and still wake up to warm tea. While not life changing, the extra caffeine is nice, particularly when Tiny Human #2 goes on a nap strike.
