My days often feel like a sprint toward Toddler Midnight (aka 7:00 pm).

But when I have some energy left after the kids are in bed, I remember: Even 10 minutes of sipping a pretty drink in a pretty spot alongside Turner can make me feel like I was dealt a royal flush and won the jackpot in life.

On these kinds of evenings, I mix up two glasses of this fancy green tea virgin mojito and we settle into the hammock to chat about the day.

Now I drink tea almost all day, every day. But a few small additions to Dharma Green cold brew give this drink a special feel: a splash of sparkling water, a slice of lime, and peppermint snipped from my garden.

🎵 Insert Julie Andrews singing, "These are a few of my favorite things!" 🎵

I say, if you have the energy at the end of the day to do something nice for yourself — lean in.

Cheers,
