I’ve always found technology exciting and I love finding new ways to incorporate it into our life.  So I was really excited when we had the opportunity to add the Philips hue personal wireless lighting system into our home.  And let me just tell you, once you have wireless lighting in your home, you’re never going to want to be without it again.

When I first read about the Philips hue system I thought it would be great as a home security feature.  Normally someone is at home, but if we all happen to be gone at once, we could set timers on the lights and everything would be well-lit whether we were actually there or not.  And it is great for that – and so much more.

The new LG G4 has been on my radar for awhile now.  Hubby has the LG G2 and he raves about it pretty constantly.  I can’t think of a single person that he hasn’t recommended it to.

I figured that if he liked the G2 so much that he would love the LG G4.  So when we were at Best Buy the other day checking out the SUHD 4k TVs we took some time to look over the phones, too.  After having just checked out televisions with a curved screen, it was interesting to hold a phone in my hand that also had a curve.

Hubby has been hinting lately that we need a new TV for the bedroom.  The one we have in there is a few years old at this point, and while it’s a decent size, I don’t think there’s a man alive that’s said “Oh, I don’t need a bigger TV”.

The other day on a trip to the mall I suggested to my husband that we stop into Best Buy, which happens to be across the road.  I knew they were going to be showing some new clips of the Jurassic World movie through June 13th on the Samsung SUHD TVs and I thought it was a good excuse to see the 4k technology in person.

While I don’t consider myself a real fashionista (maybe when my days include less crawling under bushes for lost golf balls or baseballs and more afternoon massages?) I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for shoes and bags (well, and earrings).  And while my bags (and shoes) are more function than flair these days, I do like them to be at least somewhat stylish.

Function & Fashion for the Techie Mom - Modal Concept Tote Bag

As a blogger and all-around techie mom, when I leave the house my devices usually leave with me.  My phone and a car charger are the bare minimum and depending on where I’m headed I may even have my laptop with me.  But I still need space for juice boxes, coloring books, and fruit snacks, too.

I’ve been a “gamer girl” for as long as I can remember.  In the 3rd grade my elementary school let us sign up to bring home the classroom PC every now and then.  I remember playing a fairly basic computer game on a green screen and loving every second of it.

Fast forward a few (okay, a lot) of years and games have come a long way.  And so have the specs you need on a decent machine to run most of them.  In a lot of cases, that means having a serious gaming tower if you want to play any of the newer, resource-intensive games. Continue reading »
