Google Chromecast Audio Review
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.
One of my favorite things about the evolution of technology is digital music and how easy it has become to play our favorite songs crystal clear and wherever we go. I'm not sure how I survived before the days of wireless Bluetooth speakers but I know I never want to go back. I have amassed a small collection of them over the past few years which means not only do we have one on every level of our home (3) but also in multiple rooms per level. Now one complaint I've had over wireless speakers is their inability to link together so that I can have the same music streaming on more than one speaker at the same time.
Enter the new Google Chromecast Audio. This cute little gadget brings a new level to streaming your digital music. Not only can you use it with current wireless speakers, but also with older speakers that have an audio jack in them. And because the Google Chromecast Audio uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth, you can stream in hi-res sound.
Features:
- Wirelessly stream millions of songs, radio stations and podcasts from your favorite apps like Pandora, iHeartRadio, NPR, Spotify and Google Play Music.
- Lets you play music throughout your home. Group Chromecast audio devices together so you can listen to the same song on multiple speakers.
- Built-in 2.4GHz/5.0GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi connects to the Internet through your wireless home network (wireless router required and sold separately)
- Just plug Chromecast Audio into your speakers via the auxiliary input, connect to Wi-Fi and tap the Cast button from your favorite apps.
Kitchen Speaker |
Now as I mentioned I have quite a few speakers in my home so I thought I would test the two Google Chromecast Audio devices I received on my most heavily used speakers. The one that gets the most usage by far is the one located in our kitchen. The other is on the third level and uses in the master bedroom and bathroom. Before dealing with the hardware you first need to download the Google Home app which is what you use to set up and control the Chromecast Audio devices. They need to be plugged into an outlet as well as plugged into your speaker in order to set up and play music. Once you have individual speakers set up in the app, then you can form a group with as many speakers as you like, so long as each speaker has a Chromecast Audio attached to it. So I went ahead and created my "house" group with my two speakers. Overall it maybe took me 5-10 minutes to set up everything and be ready to listen to music throughout my house.
Spotify is my favorite music app and luckily is compatible with Chromecast Audio, so I was able to launch it from the Google Home app, select playlist and then stream the music to my group of two speakers. It was awesome! The feature is hands down the best part of this device and is a game changer for me. The music was clear and though each device was on a different level of my house, there were no breaks or issues with the sound.
There are a few cons that I have in regards to the Google Chromecast Audio that I am hioing newer models will address down the road. The first is that right now they aren't compatible with your iTunes music. This is a bit of a drawback as I am sure many iOS users out there have a ton of music purchased and saved on their phones. I do believe that this feature is coming soon though, so that will be great. In the meantime you can use it with other popular apps like Spotify, Pandora and iHeartRadio.
The second con for me is that the Google Chromecast Audio does not have a battery so it has to be plugged in to a wall outlet in order to stream music. Now part of the reason why I have rechargeable wireless speakers is so I can use them anywhere in my house without needing to plug them in. When using them with the Chromecast Audio I have to make sure they are placed near an outle which is not always in a convenient place for a speaker, particularly in our faimly room. I sincerely hope that future models of the device include a rechargeable battery so it can be used anywhere.
Overall, I do really like the new Google Chromecast Audio especially the ability to have multi-room play. That is really a huge deal for me and I love it. Since I have yet to find something else that does this for me, that alone makes it worthwhile if you don't mind spending the money to get one for each speaker. A few tweaks in the future could really make this product perfect.
The Google Chromecast Audio is available now at Best Buy for $35.00.

Shop For Energy Star Certified Washers & Dryers at Best Buy #bbyed #EarthDay

Every April as Earth Day nears, many of us wonder what little things (or big things) we can do in our home to benefit the environment. Recycling, composting and conserving are all fairly easy things that come to mind. A big way to save both energy and water is buy replacing an old washer and dryer. A few years ago we replaced our top loading, 15 year old set (which died) with a front loading LG set and wow did we see a difference. Now I'm not saying you should toss a perfectly good, working appliance, but if you're in need of a replacement, Best Buy has a wide selection of Energy Star certified models to choose from. And remember that if your old model still works, there are plenty of places who would take it as a donation (my mom donated hers to a local animal shelter).
Why Energy Star?
I know it's common to wonder just how much of a difference and Energy Star certified washer or dryer can make over an older model that is not Energy Star. Here is a brief breakdown on what you can expect, then make sure you check out Earth Day on Best Buy for deals on Energy Star certified appliances.
Energy Star certified Washers:
- On average, a new Energy Star certified clothes washer uses 280 KWh of electricity and can save you $40 a year on your utility bills compared to a standard model.
- A full-sized Energy Star certified clothes washer uses 13 gallons of water per load, compared to the 23 gallons used by a standard machine, saving more than 3,000 gallons of water, per year!
- Washers built before 2003 are significantly less efficient than newer models. If you have a standard clothes washer that is over 10 years old, it's costing you, on average $180 a year.
Energy Star certified Dryers
- Use 20 percent less energy than conventional models without sacrificing features or performance
- Use sensor drying, not timed drying. Energy Star dryer models incorporate advanced moisture sensors to help you reduce your dryer’s energy use. This feature ensures that your dryer will automatically shut off when clothes are dry
- Longer drying cycles on a low heat setting use less energy. When you purchase an Energy Star certified clothes dryer, look in the informational materials shipped with the product for which cycle was tested for certification and how the dryer’s other cycles or settings may use more or less energy. (I personally always use the low heat setting on our Energy Star LG dryer).
A very cool new washer and dryer pairing to check out right now are the LG Twin Wash and Sidekick. The LG Twin Wash lets you was two loads of laundry at the same time. Hang on, that needs repeating: AT THE SAME TIME! That is simply awesome. While your full size load is working up top in the main tub, you can put a smaller load in the Sidekick pedestal. This is really perfect for things like delicates or even workout gear. I love this concept. As someone who is at the gym 4-5 days a week, I do a lot of smaller loads and honestly, it's wasteful. The Sidekick pedestal is just the right size for this. Plus the Sidekick can be paired with almost any LG front load washer, so you can add it to the model you already have at home.

Get Your Home Connected with Philips hue Wireless Lighting and Netgear Nighthawk Wireless Router #BBYConnectedHome
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. This post contains affiliate links and the reviewer will receive a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase.
I am a self proclaimed techie; I just love new technology and gadgets and all that fun kind of stuff. Something that has always intrigued me is "Connected Home" tech products, such as smart thermostats, wireless lightning or smart security systems. Up until now I've never had a chance to play with anything like that, but I recently got my hands on some Philip Hue Personal Wireless Lighting products and now I am in love.
Note: This is not my house. |
When you are looking to add smart products into your home, the first thin you need to make sure you have is a wireless router capable of handling it all plus whatever devices you have. In our house we have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of devices that are running at any given time and we were probably pushing it with our old Netgear router. To say the Netgear Nighthawk DST Wireless Router (exclusive to Best Buy) is a monster is not an exaggeration. It is literally enormous but that just goes to show how powerful it is. But do not let the size intimidate you, the installation was very easy for this moderately tech savvy lady. Start to finish it took me just under and hour, and that was with a call to my internet service provider to find out what my PIN number was. Without that call, I would have been done in 45 minutes or less. But if this kind of stuff is a challenge for you, not to worry, the Nighthawk includes Geek Squad installation and one year of support (via phone or web)!
Netgear Nighthawk DST Features • AC1900 high-performance WiFi router with Dead Spot Terminator eliminates your WiFi dead zones • 1GHz dual core processor • Supports 10+ connected devices • Advanced features for lag-free gaming • Prioritized bandwidth for streaming videos or music • DST Adapter sets up in minutes - no need to configure or install software • DST Adapter indicates the connection strength at any electrical outlet • High-powered amplifiers - Three (3) external antennas • FastLane™ technology improves performance using both WiFi bands • Implicit and Explicit Beamforming • Downstream and Upstream QoS • ReadySHARE® USB — Share your USB hard drive and printer • ReadyCLOUD® USB Access — Enjoy personal and secure cloud access to USB storage anytime, anywhere • NETGEAR genie® with remote access SET UP and SUPPORT VIA PHONE and WEB NIGHTHAWK® • $299.99 |
Once I had my new router set up, I was ready to move on to the really cool stuff: the wireless lighting! I was sent both the Philips hue White and Ambiance Starter Kit and the Philips hue Go from Best Buy to try out.
Philips hue White and Ambiance Starter Kit
This kit includes 3 wireless LED A19 bulbs, a wireless bridge, AC power adapter and ethernet network cable to get you started. Once again setup and installation is easy and only took a few moments. You will also need to download the FREE Philips hue app to your mobile device to b able to control your lighting settings. (Download on iTunes.) There are so many features I love about this but the most important functionality wise is the ability to program your lights. This means you can set up a schedule that will have your lights turning on and off when you want so that it looks like your home when you are not. There is also an alarm function so you can have yourself wake up to soft light instead of a blaring alarm clock. I've been using that a lot and it has been wonderful.
Then there is just the cool aspect of being able to change the color of the lights to pretty much anything. The app comes with a few "scenes" already loaded into to use and you can also create countless scenes of your own. I placed two of the bulbs in our bedroom and one in the home office with the hue Go and I already can't wait to get the rest of the house connected! The reading scene I use a ton when working at my desk or reading in bed.
Key Features • Choose from 16 million colors • Create and save your favorite lighting scenes. Dimming and brightening features at your fingertips • Easily adjust the light output. White and color light that fits your needs • The 2700K temperature offers soft illumination. • Designed to provide longer, more energy-efficient illumination. • Mobile control from your smartphone or tablet • Download apps that let you control settings from your device. Works with the whole Philips hue and Friends of hue family • Installs easily into your existing A19 light fittings • Works with Apple HomeKit (iOS users) so you can control your lights with Siri voice control on your iPhone. • hue is OpenHome certified and PEQ-compatible, so you can create your own ecosystem of automated devices. • $199.99 |
Philips hue Go
This little portable light has quickly become my new best friend. I am a big time reader and my Kindle comes with me wherever I go. Now when I'm home, you can pretty much find me reading anywhere: living room couch, kitchen table, in bed or on my reading chair in the office. I love having this light available to bring in any room with me and I can soften the color and brightness to suit me. The hue Go is also controlled by the mobile app and can be set up to coincide with the other lights or on its own.
hue Go Key Features • Portable, completely wire free smart light that offers a lot of versatility for any lighting need. • Take it or put it anywhere: plug it in or carry it with you with up to 3 hours of rechargeable battery life. • Control your way - with the on/off switch on the light, or via the hue app (hue bridge required). • hue Go helps you to wake up fresh and energized in the morning with deep dimming. The gradually increasing light intensity gives you the feeling you are waking up from sunrise - gently and naturally. • Offers 5 patented “natural dynamic effects”: Cozy Candle, Sunday Coffee, Meditation, Enchanted Forest, and Night Adventure. Each dynamic effect has its own mix of colors to set the right mood. • $99.99 |
So overall I am more than pleased with all this new techie stuff that I've added to our home. Not only did I have a lot of fun setting it all up, but they provide great functionality as well. I'm hoping I can expand my hue lighting into more rooms over time.
Buy
These and other Philips hue lighting products as well as the Netgear Nighthawk Router are available to purchase at Best Buy, both online and in your local store.

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. This post contains affiliate links and the reviewer will receive a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase.
Part of me can't believe that school is just around the corner. It almost feels like the kids just got out for summer break a week ago. Almost. Alright that's not true at all, it feels like an eternity. When you have four kids all close in age, summer break soon turns into constant arguing and fighting and I'm looking forward to that first day back to school. So yes, I am excited that I have just nine days left until the new school year starts for us.
Of course, back to school time also means lots of back to school shopping. As the kids get older, the supply list can start to change from simple pencils and notebooks to tech gear. My oldest son is entering fifth grade where more assignments and homework are done digitally. Some school districts in our area even require every student to have a Chromebook or tablet. With all the technology our kids are using these days, purchasing additional memory has become a must.
SanDisk iXpand USB/Lightning Flash Drive |
Best Buy has a wide selection of SanDisk memory to fit your back to school or everyday needs, whether it be a standard flash drive (which my son will absolutely need) or something a bit more advanced. The SanDisk store makes it easy to find the type of safe storage you need with a user friendly shopping experience. Simply click on the type of device you are looking to purchase a memory card for and the available options will be right there for you to compare.

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. This post contains affiliate links and the reviewer will receive a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase.
No matter what time of year it is, there is always something to be celebrated and someone to buy a gift for. Birthdays, graduations, weddings... it is a repeating cycle. While gift cards are always a safe go to for any of these occasions, sometimes you just want to put in a little more effort and get a gift the person truly wants. Best Buy has two ways to make shopping for that perfect gift much easier.
Gift Center
The perfect place to start your gift hunt is at the BestBuy.com Gift Center. Here you can browse for gifts based on price, age, occasion and more. This helps you quickly zero-in on the right gifts for the right people. Have a friend's birthday coming up who loves to have the latest tech? No problem, just click on the Top Tech Gifts tab to see what's popular right now. Or if you are a procrastinator like me who waits until the day before to get a gift put together, you can easily send an e-gift card from the Gift Center.
Wish List
As helpful as the Gift Center can be, sometimes you still are at a loss for what to give. The Wish List feature at BestBuy.com takes all of the guesswork out of gift giving and makes it easier for both the giver and receiver. Tell your friends and family to create and share a birthday wish list, so that you can get them the gifts that they really want this time around. It is simple and takes only a few minutes to set up and can be used for all occasions. With the holidays just around the corner (how did that happen?), getting started on wish lists now will have you ahead of the game and that much closer to finishing up the dreaded holiday shopping.
What upcoming occasions do you need to shop for? Would prefer to choose something yourself from the gift idea center or go right to what the person wants on their wish list?

Television technology is every evolving and it seems like once you finally upgrade your old set, something even better comes along. It is kind of a double edged sword isn't it? I love seeing the new advances but I hate that I can't keep up! But the tech-loving geek in me wants to see and absorb it all so I am always eager to learn what is the best of the best. Right now the latest and greatest technology is 4K Ultra HD and Best Buy is giving you a chance to see it first hand and maybe even win one!

HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop AMD FX Special Edition APU at Best Buy #AMDFX
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. This post contains affiliate links and the reviewer will receive a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase.
I can't remember the last time I sat behind a desktop computer. For the last 10 years my laptops have been my lifeline, making it easy to work from home while also being with my kiddos. Back in 2010 my first laptop went kaput and so I set out to get a good new one. I ended up with an HP Pavilion which I am still using right now, and I couldn't have been happier with it. It is still going strong, though over time it has slowed down a bit and the battery life isn't what it once was. Plus, my laptop is currently the only computer in our household, which is becoming somewhat of a challenge as the kids get older. So once again I am considering purchasing a new laptop for myself and passing this one down to my kids to use for schoolwork.
Since I have been so happy with my HP laptop, I am looking to stay with this brand for my new laptop. One that has caught my eye is the HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop AMD FX Special Edition APU. My iPad is my other lifeline so I love the idea of incorporating a touchscreen onto my laptop.
Key Features:
- 15.6" touch screen for hands-on control. Touch, tap, glide and make the most of Windows 8. Typical 1366 x 768 HD resolution. Energy-efficient LED backlight.
- AMD Quad-Core FX-7500 APU. The AMD FX Special Edition APU introduces mobile systems with AMD’s highest performing APUs, exclusive at Best Buy. Quad-core processing.
- Award winning AMD Radeon R7 graphics, 6GB system memory and Beats Audio make for an exceptional gaming and entertainment experience.
- 750GB hard drive to store your photos, music, videos and movies.
The only thing that kind of concerned me was the lack of DVD/CD drive, which helps make this light at 6.1 lbs and 1.2" thin. But then I thought "When was the last time you even put a disc in your current laptop?" The answer is I can't even remember. So obviously it is not as important a feature as it once was. And if it came down to it, an external drive could always be purchased, though I don't think I would need it. So my next stop is going to be to head to my local Best Buy to get a little hands on experience, especially with the touchscreen, and then hopefully I'll be bringing home this new HP laptop for Mother's Day!
What are some key features you look for when shopping for a new laptop? Do you have any "must-haves"?
Buy
The HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop AMD FX Special Edition APU is available at Best Buy for $629.99. Shop online and receive free shipping on all orders over $35 or opt for Store Pick Up instead and pick up your order in as little as 45 minutes .

Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earbuds at Best Buy #JabraHeadphonesBBY
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. This post also contains affiliate links.
The New Year is here which means a lot of us have made resolutions to get in better shape. It may mean joining a local gym, running through your neighborhood or working out at home. Regardless where you decided to work out, something we all seem to need to get us pumped is some good music to listen to. Smartphones and MP3 players have made it easy for us to carry our music with us everywhere, but what about those dreadful earbuds?
Has this ever happened to you? You're on the elliptical (or any other piece of cardio equipment) and your pumping away, working up a sweat. But as you are jamming and exercising to your favorite tunes, that wire that goes from your earbuds to your phone is flopping all over the place in front of you. Then oops, your arms hits it and your earbuds come flying out of your ears? Just having that wire flailing about is super annoying. I've tried threading it through my top, but that doesn't usually work out too well either. Now with the Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earbud Headphones available at Best Buy, you can say goodbye to that wire.
Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless is an all-in-one training solution that combines an in-ear biometric heart rate monitor, immersive Dolby® Digital sound and real-time voice coaching. It’s US Military grade durability certifications will inspire runners, cyclists, and exercisers of all types to beat their best performance.

It has never been so easy to test fitness levels and aerobic capacity, adjust heart rate zone levels to optimize training, and set goals based on distance, time or calories burned Compatible with smartphones with BT capabilities. |
The Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless is so much more than just headphones. I have to say that I love the idea of the real-time voice coaching that gives feedback on your workout in real time. That would be a great way to get some extra motivation. I would love to have a set of these and I am totally putting them on my birthday wishlist for the Spring!

I love that these cameras here come with WiFi capabilities for instant sharing.

Gift Your Family a Canon Camera from Best Buy This Holiday #CanonatBestBuy #HintingSeason
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.
As parents, aren't we always following our kids around trying to snap as many photos as possible so we can hold onto all of the memories they create? I'm sure it must drive our kids crazy, but it can't be helped. Snapping a quick picture with a camera phone is great but sometimes, you really want and need a high quality photo. Like for holidays, special occasions or maybe for your son's first hockey game, which happened for us over this past weekend. I still remember when my husband bought me my Canon Rebel XS a few years back. I was thrilled and admittedly overwhelmed by it since I had never used a DSLR camera before. Even now I don't know what I am doing half the time, but it still takes way better photos then any of our phones or point and shoot cameras ever took. And years later it is still going strong. I feel like every family should have a DSLR in the house.
Best Buy is your go-to store for the latest cameras to capture your holiday memories. The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is one of the best-selling DSLRs. This camera makes advanced photography easy and fun, and gives you exceptional image quality, along with a host of features to enhance your creative expression.
• Capture Hollywood caliber full HD video
• Continuous autofocus while taking HD video
• Features an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 5 image processor to ensure vivid, crystal-clear images.

I am a lover of all things technology, whether it is the best new smart phone to fit in my pocket or a new beautiful television to mount on my living room wall. The science and innovations behind all of these gadgets fascinates me and I love seeing, and playing with, it all. Television technology seems to be constantly evolving and continuing to get better and I feel like every holiday season is when we see the next big thing in TVs. I have come to look forward to the season just to see what some of the new TV technologies are. This year I am pretty excited about the new LG OLED TV.

Virgin Mobile Custom Plans Are Great For Families #VirginMobileMom #MC
I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Virgin Mobile. I received a sample device to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating. This post may also contain affiliate links.
We are approaching that age where cell phones for kids are a topic of discussion in our house. Our oldest son will be 10 in February and while we aren't ready to give him a phone yet, it will probably be happening within the next few years. Almost definitely when he hits middle school. Since I like to start my research early I'm already looking at best plans for kids. The Virgin Mobile Custom Plans stood out to me because not only can you build a cellular plan that suits your family and child but it also gives parents a lot of control over what a child can use the phone for.

As a mom, a good camera to capture all of my kids special moments and silly moments and just every day moments is an absolute must. It may be a cliche, but they really do grow up so fast and I want to be able to capture those memories for us to hold onto forever. And you know, possibly embarrass them down the road as teenagers. We are also entering a new phase of parenting and that is sports. Sure my kids have been playing hockey for years, but my nine year old, for the first time, will be on a travel hockey team. So a camera that can take fast paced action photos is absolutely going to be on my Christmas list this year.
