My husband employs a minimalist approach to his wardrobe. He has a set amount of jeans and khaki pants/shorts which he wears everywhere: home, work (both in the office and now at his “home” office), as well as when we are out and about. However, during a recent backpacking trip with our son, D realized that none of the pants he owned were ideal for hiking. Coincidentally, D recently had the opportunity to try KÜHL pants and they successfully filled in the gap in his wardrobe.

These are the KÜHL RADIKL pants, Klassik Fit, in Carbon. These pants are made with exclusive ENDURO^™ fabric, which provides both anti-abrasion and sun protection (UPF 50+).

According to my husband, these pants are super comfortable because they are lightweight and flexible. They would definitely be a good choice for an outdoor adventure.

These pants also feature seven pockets, which provide plenty of storage. However, because the pockets are not bulky, these pants have a slimmer silhouette. These pants are stylish, yet quite versatile, which appeals to my utilitarian husband.

I have a feeling that these KÜHL RADIKL pants will be seeing a lot of wear this summer and for years to come.

Where To Purchase KÜHL Apparel

KÜHL apparel (for both men and women) is available for purchase through their online store, or at a store near you.

Too much screen time is something that everyone in our family struggles with. It seems that we are not alone in this battle, as there is a statistic that COVID-19 has caused a 500% increase in screen time for kids. With much of school being virtual and the increased reliance on online learning platforms, this statistic is unfortunately not too surprising. On top of “required” screen time necessary for school and work, we also turn to our screens for entertainment.

Circle Home Plus

Therefore, I was eager to try out the Circle Home Plus device, which allows you to easily manage screen time and set up parental controls for all the devices in your home that are connected to the internet.

The Circle Home Plus is easy to set up and plugs right into your Wi-Fi router. Once connected, the Circle Home Plus automatically detects all of the internet-connected devices in your home. I was astounded to find out that we have twenty-four such devices between our four family members. I had never bothered to count them before, so that was a real eye-opener.

I installed the Circle App on my phone which allows me to manage the connected devices even when I am not at home.

As you can see here, there is a bedtime feature that allows the internet connection to be turned on/off at whatever time you choose. There are also age-appropriate filters that can help prevent unwanted harmful content from entering your home through the internet.

You can even pause or temporarily turn off internet connectivity for a single family member or everyone at once. That would be a fast way to send a message!

There is also a feature called Focus Time that restricts access to certain sites for specific time periods where your student is supposed to distance learning of doing homework.

For my family, I think the best part about Circle Home Plus is that it monitors our internet usage and that we have the freedom to easily make adjustments according to our needs. While I want our family to be able to rely on the internet as a useful tool, my goal is for it not to be the master of our lives.

Using chalk to create chalk art on our driveway is one of the activities that the kids returned to during this past year spent mostly at home. Chalk Alive is a set that adds excitement to ordinary chalk art.

This Chalk Alive set comes with 6 washable chalks, 3 reusable stencils and 3 live animations. As you can see, this particular set features a lion, dolphin and tiger, but there are also other sets with a unicorn/mermaid/butterfly and rocket/racecar/dinosaur.

The chalk comes in vibrant colors and is easy to use with the included stencils. My daughter downloaded the free app on her phone and took a picture of my son’s chalk drawing. The app makes the drawing come to life, as shown below. So cool!

This is a great outdoor activity for kids. I like that Chalk Alive combines art, technology and creativity. The recommended age range is for 5 years and up.

Where To Purchase Chalk Alive

Chalk Alive sets are available at several retailers, including Amazon and Walmart.

Here in Southern California, we are already starting to experience warmer temperatures. I know that once summer hits, this NewAir Evaporative Air Cooler and Portable Cooling Fan will be a lifesaver.

The NewAir Evaporative Air Cooler and Portable Cooling Fan comes fully assembled. All you have to do is fill the water tank, plug the unit into an electrical outlet and press the on button!

I had never tried a fan that uses water, so I was curious to see how it works.

As water evaporates from the honeycomb pads, the NewAir Evaporative Air Cooler and Portable Cooling Fan creates a wind chill effect on your skin and circulates cool air.* This unit also comes with two ice packs that you can add to the water for maximum cooling effect. The cool air from this fan could be felt from across a room. I also appreciated that the unit is not too loud.

*Please note that this type of fan is recommended for places with dry heat, not high humidity. I can see how adding moisture to already humid air would not provide much relief.

I like the clean and modern design of this NewAir fan. The casters also make it easy to roll from room to room.

It even comes with a remote control that lets you adjust timer and fan settings from your chair or bed-so convenient!

I think the best aspect of the NewAir Evaporative Air Cooler and Portable Cooling Fan is that it is energy-efficient and eco-friendly since it does not use chemical coolants like air conditioning does. I am looking forward to keeping cool this summer while also keeping our energy costs low!
