This post has been sponsored by Best Buy. All opinions are my own. My family's favorite place to hang out at home is outside. We enjoy the outdoors wherever we are, it seems. Whether it's camping, at the beach, or even at home. On our most recent beach trip we were so excited to find an outdoor sitting area in our beach rental with a television and the girls fell in love with it - and I have to admit, so did I! I started wondering if it would be possible to create such an outdoor space like that at home and it turns out - it's way easier, and more affordable, than I originally thought. After a little digging, I found these great options at Best Buy. The SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro). It … [Read more...]
Drive Safer with Uniden R7 Radar at Best Buy

There's nothing more important to me than my family's safety. I'm sure you can agree with that statement too, especially if you're a parent! And there's nowhere that I feel the need to be more safe than in the car. I think I've always had a bit of car anxiety. It's not that I'm a bad driver or my husband is, but it's my worry about all the other cars on the road. I have to give up that control and hope that they're paying attention and driving safely. So my anxiety levels when I'm in the car are always a bit high. With that said, that's one reason why I can see the great value in this Uniden R7 Radar. While I really am a safe driver [not trying to jinx myself here] with a great record, I get distracted and most of the time it's from my anxiety of worrying about being safe... ironic, no?! The Uniden R7 radar tracks up … [Read more...]
Meet ibi – Where Your Pictures are Saved, Organized, and Shared

This post was sponsored by the makers of ibi as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. The makers of ibi sent me this for free. All opinions expressed in my post are my own. Perhaps it's the blogger in me, or perhaps it's just the forgetful Mom in me, but I never print photographs. I used to when Sophia was little, but once Moreaya was born, it seems like printing photos was a thing of the past. It's a shame too, because the girls love to look back at old pictures of themselves when they were babies. Oh my heart! Sure we have a few baby books that they look at, but they really love watching old videos. And we do have them, but they're stored somewhere on some old CD's or an old hard drive, well, I don't know exactly where they are, but my husband says we have them. But wouldn't it be great if there was something … [Read more...]

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions are my own. We're already nearing the end of October which means Christmas and shopping lists are definitely on my mind. I love to plan ahead so I'm not bustling around the month of December finishing up my holiday shopping so I can focus on the magical part of the season with my family. One person on my list that is both super hard to buy for, but really kind of easy if I'm honest with myself is my husband. He's always saying he doesn't need gifts for Christmas, but he's certainly a technology buff that loves to have the newest and coolest gadgets. This year Best Buy is going to help me have him covered with the Bose Soundbar 700! It features superior Bose sound with … [Read more...]

If you're ready to get serious about photo editing or drawing, you'll want to check out the Wacom Intuos Tablet and all it's features. I have a little girl that loves to draw. She's been writing and illustrating her own books for a few years now... quite the accomplishment as an 8 year old and lately has taken an interest in making her own comic books. She loves the vivid pictures and colors she sees in comics and wants to make her own featuring cat super heroes she's created. That's one reason Sophia was so excited when our Wacom Intuos Bluetooth Creative Tablet arrived from Best Buy. Not only did the packaging look like a beautifully colored piece of art, she … [Read more...]

I had energy, despite being pregnant, I had relaxation methods, and I had a support system to encourage me. Although I have a super cute yoga backpack and grandparents that are kind enough to babysit when I need them, the local class is no more, so … [Read more...]

It's the thing that's been on my To-Do list for a couple of years now. It's the next step in my family's green journey. It's the subject that I totally love reading about... how to create a smart home. I've wanted to bring my 1920's Colonial Home into the modern age with smart home products, but have only hesitated because of the time and budget that I thought it took to do so. Luckily, I found out that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to turn ANY home into a smart home... even one built almost a century ago! Our home sits in the historic district of our town and to be honest, there's not that much that is modern inside, other than our belongings. That's all about to change thanks to the TP-Link smart home products that we're beginning to add. First up, we chose to install the Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch. It was, perhaps, the most … [Read more...]

This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of Doctor On Demand, which is offering a free doctor visit for your first call. All opinions are my own. Just a few weeks ago, we were in a heat wave here in east Tennessee. Christmas Day turned out to be a wonderful time to play outside - I don't remember it ever being that warm in December! But it seems that the heat wave has passed and we're headed straight towards cold, winter days very soon. Although I enjoyed the 70 degree weather just a few weeks ago, my body isn't doing so well adjusting to the varying temperatures. I know all too well, though, that things could get much, much worse. In fact, when I took my daughter to the doctor just this week for an ear infection, the nurses actually told me that I should avoid their offices as much as possible because of the prevalence of the flu … [Read more...]
