This post has been sponsored by Best Buy. All opinions are my own. When it was time to upgrade the refrigerator in our home last year, I did tons of research. I read reviews, I read about new and exciting tech upgrades [yes, there's some amazing tech in refrigerators now], and I looked around in stores to touch some options. When I finally decided on the refrigerator I wanted, I went to Best Buy. While you might think of Best Buy as an electronics store, it's that and so much more. You can find thousands of appliances for sale on BestBuy.com including refrigerators. And you better believe they have the refrigerators with amazing technology. Before I share with you a new refrigerator that I am totally eyeing when it's time for our next upgrade, I want to tell you a little about my experience with ordering our refrigerator at Best Buy. … [Read more...]
Ready to Upgrade Your Patio This Summer? Here’s How!
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 … [Read more...]

The first thing … [Read more...]

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...]
Make Your Home Smart with Smart Home Products for Less than $30
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...]

Get a Free Doctor Visit This Flu Season with Doctor On Demand
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...]
Let Doctor On Demand Help During Flu Season [+ Exclusive Coupon Code for Free Call]
This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of the Doctor On Demand App. All opinions are my own. This year's flu season is particularly severe. Our whole family just got over the flu a few weeks ago and it was not fun. We decided to treat our symptoms at home after seeing on the news that hospitals were urging people with flu-like symptoms to avoid the ER, since our symptoms started on the weekend. Luckily, we all recovered well, but I was well aware that it could get serious and fast - which is why I was glad I had a doctor just a smartphone away.

My Toddlers are Learning Tagalog with the Dino Lingo Language Learning Program
I have always wanted to learn a second language. I tried to learn Spanish in high school, but it just didn't stick. It seems that most experts agree the younger you can teach a child a second language, the more likely they are to grasp it. Depending on if you're a regular reader of SEBG, you may or may not know that my girls are half-Filipino. Rob {the hubs} was born in the Philippines, Pampanga to be exact, and moved to the US when he was 10. Although Tagalog {Filipino} is technically his first language, he hardly speaks it. He can, but just chooses to speak English 99.5% of the time. The other .5% is when he's conversing with a family member that doesn't speak English as well. So, when a lovely reader let me know about a Kids Language Learning Program that her toddler … [Read more...]
