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.

Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”.
.
When I was a little girl we took a trip to Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. One of the attractions there is the Marvel Cave. The whole theme park was actually built right around the cave! I will never forget the feeling of descending into the darkness. We had to walk down a steep, narrow path and I could feel the rocky walls beginning to close in on me. From time to time, our guide would even have to call out for us to duck our heads so as not to whack them on rocks that were jutting out. And just when it felt like we had been walking forever; just when it felt the most narrow and the most dark; just when we were starting to get really weary from navigating this path, we turned the corner and found ourselves awestruck as we gazed at this enormous room. Everywhere we looked there were stalactites and stalagmites. Lights had been installed and they reflected off of these formations creating the most beautiful colors on the walls. There were pools of water in a shade of aquamarine I had never seen before and waterfalls flowing from upper levels. That long, winding, damp trek had been so very worth it. The descent into darkness had revealed light…and life!

My prayer for you friends, is that you will look at that narrow path with the small gate as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to experience the kind of freedom that our souls are longing for. The wide and broad path of the world promises us a freedom that is fleeting and temporary. But at the end of the narrow path, there is hope and peace and life everlasting.

I’m choosing the narrow path. And in spite of the hardships, in spite of the challenges and the fears and the times that can feel as dark as the journey down into a cave, I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.
Happy weekend!! My limelight’s are finally bloom Happy weekend!! My limelight’s are finally blooming and I try really hard to not play favorites among the flowers in my garden but these beauties have my heart and bring me so much joy.

What’s bringing you joy today dear friends?
I can’t properly express how much joy it gives m I can’t properly express how much joy it gives me to know that my family loves being home. After a weeklong vacation, we all feel so happy to be back in our haven. As a homemaker in the truest sense of the word (the maker of a home), knowing my husband and children consider this the place where they feel the most relaxed and at peace means all of my intentions and efforts in this area are worthwhile. It’s not perfect and WE are not perfect by a long stretch. But, it’s where we feel the most free to be imperfect. And that makes it pretty wonderful! 🌱

Extreme rain and cooler temperatures followed by extreme heat then back to cloudy and rainy. But the silver lining is that when the sun finally does reappear we definitely don’t take it for granted.

May we never take for granted the freedom given to us not by earthly authorities but by the ONE true authority. And may we live in such a way as to honor those who fought for and protect freedom and liberty.

Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to sha Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to share all of the details of our family room shelving makeover but I’m super impatient and just had to give you all a sneak peek!! We are SO happy with how they turned out and it finally looks like I’ve always envisioned. Our quick fix years ago (scroll to see the before photo) never felt quite right but now? Soooo much better!! 🙌🏻 Big shoutout to our amazingly talented friend Matt @redemptive_woodworx for bringing our vision to life and doing such impeccable work.

I hope you all have a great start to the 4th of July weekend and make sure to check my stories later for Friday Funnies!

The month of June is coming to a close and it has The month of June is coming to a close and it has been JAM packed! The highlight by far though was my son's graduation from high school. When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴
