Sure a drink in a tall, clear glass looks pretty, but that cold drink will be tepid in about an hour on a hot day.
I have a few insulated tumblers, and this one from Yeti will be a fine addition to my collection. This 20 oz., double-walled, vacuum-insulated tumbler will keep your drink hot or cold for hours. It features a splash-proof and spill-resistant lid for adventures on the go. It also comes in a rainbow of colors so you’ll find the perfect one.
Yeti’s Rambler Tumbler is $35 at REI and also available at Amazon.

I did not get the Yeti hype at all, but I went on a boat trip last month where everyone got their own Yeti for the week, and I immediately became a convert. I now have two, one for hot drinks and one for cold. I love that I can set them on wood and not have to worry about water or heat damage.
Continuing the theme from the morning about how life gets easier once kids are 5ish, we’re finally having a dropoff playdate this weekend and I could not be more excited!! My kid looooves play dates and wants them all the time, but I’m a socially awkward introvert who really dreads hours of small talk with a mom I don’t know. I expect the kids (almost 5) to play with minimal supervision, but of course I’ll be around if someone gets hurt or there’s a conflict they can’t resolve. Is there anything I should ask the mom when she drops her kid off?
