    See it, Stream it with Google Chromecast

    October 15, 2018 /

    I am a member of the Best Buy Blogger Network and as such I receive compensation.  “Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on my living room TV.”   I can’t wait to be able to direct my TV to start streaming just with my voice. I mean this is the dream for me here actually when it comes to technology and my home. No more fumbling for 3 or 4 different remotes to connect all the devices. Google Chromecast can simplify that and make your streaming experience fun.   Are you with me? All together now: “Okay, Google bring it. Play Walking Dead, or THIS IS US.” I’m practicing…

    Give The Gift of Sound with Bose Smart Speakers

    October 12, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Best Buy which means I received compensation.    When my husband turned 50 I bought him an amazing Bose surround sound system for the family room. Bose speakers are my favourite and we have a few Bose sound products here, because the sound quality is unparalleled in my opinion. So when I heard of a new family of Bose smart speakers and soundbars with tricked out features able to update as new software features are added, I was keen to see more and share my impressions here too.   Bose brings it every time in my opinion. The new Bose smart speakers and soundbars have built-in…

    Start Your School Year Off With a New Laptop

    July 26, 2018 /

    This is a sponsored post which means I received compensation. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful. Are you shopping for a new laptop computer this summer? Is your old friend on the fritz? Need a reliable back to school laptop that rocks? Lucky for you I have the answer to your computer issues. The brand new HP Envy x360 is sleek and powerful. It has everything you need to start the school year on the right foot. And the style is strong in this new laptop too. Take a look. HP Envy x360 laptops are 2-in-1 devices that can transfer from a laptop to a…

    STEM Camp Brings STEM Education to a Wider Audience

    May 17, 2018 /

    STEM education has become a huge part of public, private, and homeschool curriculum. It is the focus of many toys and games. The world is changing. With more and more career opportunities surrounding STEM and the advancement of technology in general, it’s important for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to play a larger role in children’s education. In a recent post, I talked about how STEM Camp makes STEM fun for children. A friendly atmosphere combines with experiments that promote critical thinking and hands-on learning making STEM Camp a joy. I couldn’t be happier to share two big ways that STEM Camp is making a difference in the world. By…

    Snapchat for Dummies – A Parent’s Guide to Snapchat

    April 4, 2018 /

    Snapchat for dummies. If you have kids, chances are they’re on Snapchat. If you’re like a lot of parents, chances are you have no idea what Snapchat is all about. Snapchat can be a fun app for the kids, but it can also be full of pitfalls and dangers, so you need to beware of those. As parents, it’s important for us to understand the apps that our kids use, especially the ones that open them up to making potentially bad decisions. With that in mind, I decided to put together a little Snapchat primer for parents – Snapchat for Dummies. Snapchat for Dummies – A Parent’s Primer So let’s talk…

    9 Reasons Why Life Needs a Yoast SEO Plugin

    March 29, 2018 /

    This week I was resting in Savasana relaxation pose after my fitness class at the YMCA and my mind was wandering.  It’s been a busy, emotional season getting Ainsley registered for high school, and then there was the near concussion mishap for Payton. Too much time at the emergency room of a local hospital. Breathing and doing my corpse pose, my mind wandered. Had I done the right thing signing her up for high school nearby? Will she miss her friends too much? Will her older sister resent having her younger sister at the same school? Then too many clients owe me money right now. Why has my one client…

    The all new Kindle Oasis is here, and it’s the most advanced model ever released. That’s great news for book-lovers everywhere. So many things I love about the Kindle Oasis. Here are two: it’s made just for reading and it’s waterproof. The Paperwhite display means you can read with it in the dark, or in the brightest sunlight with no glare.

    Camping apps? Yes, there are even apps to make you camping experience run a little smoother, if that’s your mission this year. Camper, glamper or weekend warrior – no matter what your camping style there’s a camping app to help. Most of my readers know by now that I am more of a glamper than a camper. I enjoy the outdoors and I love a good road trip. But I don’t do tents. Luckily there are a million and one different ways to get away in the summer.

    Keep it Together with Tile #Tileit

    March 29, 2017 /

    Keep it together! That’s something I tell myself quite often. As a mom of two, wife, blogger, social media consultant and avid traveler, I’m often on the go. I’m also occasionally frazzled. I can’t count how many times I’ve lost my keys – both in the house and out in the world – or misplaced my phone. It’s a frantic dash to find those things that I need in a day and yet somehow manage to lose. These days, life is a little easier on me, though. I’ve started using Tile to help me keep it together. Keep it Together at All Times We’ve all done it. You were frantic…

    MiVue 480 DashCam offers drivers a bit of extra security on the road. That’s something we can often use. A few short weeks ago a friend reported that she and her husband had been in their truck when it was hit head on by a car that swerved into oncoming traffic. She had video posted on Facebook from their dash cam. I have no idea what kind of camera they had, but it helped to show who was at fault. It was shocking.
