LG 8W iPod Dock with Bluetooth Streaming

 

When it comes to the latest technology, I think I fall into the “oooohhh, that looks neat but it’s probably complicated and would require me reading the instructions” category.

So when presented with the opportunity to review this LG 8W iPod Dock with Bluetooth Streaming I was fairly certain it would be no exception.

I figured that while I would love the look of it and how many features it offered, I would find myself relegating it to the same place in my heart as knowing how to change a tire….or math.

So much potential to benefit me yet just so complicated.

As my husband and son (who fall into the “that looks neat and we will spend as much time as necessary figuring out how to use this cool new toy” category) unpacked it from it’s box I could see the glean in their eyes.

I kept myself at a bit of a distance as they worked until all of 5 minutes later when my husband said, “Done”!

What? That’s it? Oh, but wait, now they are going to want to show me how to use it.

I’m here today to announce that the LG 8W iPod Dock does NOT fall into my usual, “ooooohhhh, that looks neat but it’s probably complicated and would require me reading the instructions” category!

Although, I would recommend you read them anyway.

You might not be as technically savvy as I am now. 😉

Now, don’t go thinking that the only thing I was able to figure out was how to set the alarm clock.

Because, truly within minutes I was happily rocking out to my favorite music all the while mortifying my family.

Made to be used with an iPod or iPhone, this dock not only allows you to stream music from your phone, it also provides a place to charge it and if you are anything like me you are always realizing too late that your phone needs charging!

Another awesome feature about this Dock is that when you download the Bluetooth Remote App, you are able to control all of the settings directly from your iPhone through wireless streaming. 

My favorite thing about this product is that now I can listen to my incredibly eclectic array of music in our office which is where I spend quite a bit of time these days. You know, cause of that whole blogging thing. 

 Yep, that’s right. You aren’t imagining that AC/DC is right up there above the Bangles. I told you it was eclectic!

I love how easy it is to pop my iPhone into the dock while I’m working and not only get to listen to Bill Withers and Billy Idol or the Beatles or the Black Crowes, but also to get to listen to all of these artists whose names start with the letter “B” with incredible sound quality.

Don’t go blaming me though if my blog posts start suddenly sounding like they were written by someone either dreaming of burying her toes in the sand while watching surfers catch a wave or might go jump off a stage into a mosh pit.

Just sayin’.

    Just thought I would spread a little Christmas cheer by telling you that I really have no clue what bluetooth streaming is. I don’t have an iPod. Well, I have an old one of my daughter’s but I don’t know how to work it. How is that for DUMB? Seriously.

It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week It’s time for another #tiptuesday and this week I’m showing how easy it is to decorate an entry table for spring in under five minutes! The formula is SO simple…

1. A lamp is your staple element and provides height.
2. Add a stack of books.
3. Bring in depth with a small framed seasonal print.
4. Add a small tray
5. Place seasonal accessories and a candle on that tray especially if you have cute brass bunnies!
6. Put a vase or urn on top of the books and add fresh or silk spring flowers.

And that’s all there is to it! Happy Spring dear friends! 🌸
Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upswing, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6

You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿
