Have some water excursions planned for the summer? Here’s a lightweight, quick drying towel that will make your summer.
This soft, microfiber towel dries in a flash and packs away in its own pouch. There are three sizes for every need. Buy one for each member of the family for camping, the water park, or just puddle jumping in the driveway.
This towel is $24.95 to $39.95 at L.L.Bean, depending on the size. It comes in “Baltic blue” (pictured), “moonlight blue” (navy), and “Outback orange.”

Just a happy Friday afternoon PSA to parents of babies and toddlers that it really does get easier. :) I have my 5 year old home with me this afternoon and it’s like night and day from 2020 lockdown with a 2 year old (which I think I still have low grade PTSD from). It’s not interruption free, but I am mostly working while she plays alone and she even put the dog out in the yard for me when the dog started barking.
Is anyone using chatgpt regularly? I use it daily at work to draft emails, brainstorm, and research (I know its limitations and fact-check it). The possibilities seem endless.
It’s certainly exciting to feel like we’re on the brink of the next big advancement but definitely also scary.
Just curious if others on the board are using it regularly.
