This travel cup suits me to a tea

I'm not a coffee drinker. (I know, I know, there must be some part of the mom gene that I'm missing.) Needless to say, I kind of feel left out in the mornings when everyone else is sipping a fancy latte or iced coffee at the school drop off and I'm standing there empty-handed. Not anymore.

Now that I've discovered the Libre Tea Glass, I've got a special drink of my own brewing (literally) each morning as I make the trek to school.

It really is the coolest thing. I just put my favorite loose-leaf tea into the glass, add the screw-on filter and some boiling water and I'm ready to walk out the door with fresh brewing tea. Don't worry if you don't want your leaves sitting in the water all morning--there's another way to brew it, too.

The glass is available in a solid glass version, or one with a glass lining and a polycarbonate outer that might be a little smarter for moms with little ones. I like it for its portability, and because of the fact that I'm not drinking hot tea out of a plastic cup.

Now that the summer is here, I think I'm going to start toting iced tea with me to the camp drop-offs, instead. Though that might require some advanced planning. On second thought, I think I'll just try to get my hands on one of those crazy-cool opening flower teas like the one in the picture. That ought to impress the coffee drinkers, no? -Stephanie
