Hey, Google… #LetsGetStarted #GoogleHomemini #OKGOOGLE

Posted on

Google Home Mini  got me started.

Google Home Mini is smart, works with Chromecast so you can stream shows, movies, and music on your TV or speakers.  Over 1,000+ compatible devices and apps connect with Google Home Mini.

It’s small but it’s mighty!

Google Mini allows me to know the weather for the day, traffic getting to work.  All with a simple “Hey,Google…”  And did I forget to mention all my favorite music…”Hey, Google play Beatles.” “Hey, Google play Frank Sinatra.”  Google Home Mini  can answer questions,  “Hey, Google will it be raining today?”  “Hey, Google what’s the recipe for Chicken Marsala?”  Google can help me keep my appointments, “Hey, Google remind me of my dentist appointment, on January 9th, at 3.”  🙂

The Google Assistant provides information that’s personalized just for you. Google Mini has Voice Match.  Everyone can get their own schedule, daily briefings, playlists and more just by asking Google.   That’s a Match!  Learn more

My favorite: facts & info and “Hey, Google find my phone.”

Tell Google Home Mini what you want and she is there to assist whenever you need help.

Google Home comes in three sizes.

Easy Peasy set up.

HEY,GOOGLE…www.google.com

Thanks Google!  We all love it!

Now this is exciting news!! The Google Home Mini now has more than 50 new games, activities and stories designed for families with kids.

We took our grandchildren to Google Pop Up and we all had a wonderful day of experiencing and learning all about the Google Home Mini and the groovy things it can do.

Google Home Mini is a powerful helper. Play music. Get Answers. Get Informed and have fun. OK  Google play my favorite song I feel like dancing!!

OK, Google “Will It Snow Tonight”? Get all the news you need to know when you want to know it!!

Ask Google Mini what ever you like, gotta tell you,  we were so entertained maybe more than the kids were and they were in their glory.

Your Assistant on Google Home Mini has access to millions of recipes, making it the perfect sous-chef.

The Google Assistant makes this little speaker super intelligent. You can ask it to play albums, songs, or even describe an album by its cover to play it. Google Home Mini also supports many streaming services (and your playlists on them!), including Spotify, YouTube, and Pandora.

Family Link helps you manage the apps your child can us, keep an eye on screen time and even set device bedtime.

If you have multiple Google Home devices in your house, they can help you gather guests around the table. Ask the device closest to you to broadcast that it’s dinner time, and your Google Homes around the house will let guests know it’s time to come to the table.

Google Home Mini lets you make hands-free calls to anywhere in the US and can differentiate between up to 6 voices, so it knows whose grandma to call. Welcome to the future.

The Christmas Gift – #Family

Posted on

The Christmas story is about a Special Family.  The First Christmas Family… who had absolutely nothing.  Yet, through the birth of a baby the world was given a most precious gift.  The gift of Hope, Faith, and Love.  A gift of JOY.  A gift that transformed the world.    And It didn’t take an army or a law to give this gift to us,  it took a simple family to provide such an awesome gift for ALL!  That’s Christmas to me.

So, I thank my family for providing me, and my husband, with the gift of FAMILY.  A gift that doesn’t come in a box.  A gift that only family can unwrap.  A gift box filled with family treasured moments.  A gift of a home filled with smiles, laughter, tears, joy, and fears.   My family may not have changed the world, but, they did change my world.       The Brennan family are delighted to be photo bombed.  Christian shouts proudly, “I am a Brennan, too.”  Children – gifts from God.  We could not have a house filled Christmas without these special gifts.

The family keeps growing, and the gifts just keep on giving.

With special people in our lives that keep us marching through the years.  That is why, at Christmas time, we need to declutter our lives, and send that message.  For love is the gift we give to one another.  Love is free, needs no wrapping, or colorful bows… just grab the person and hold them!  Very Close!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My daily pray is that we hold on to the truth, and the true meaning of Christmas, as we do have a tendency to lose it in all the hustle and the bustle of our everyday busy lives.

  

The family provides an anchor, the true joy that we so need.  The joy of the first Christmas Family is easy to attain.  Let’s look beyond the dazzling lights, and look only at the one bright light who leads us to the true meaning of the first Christmas.   The gift of the people in our lives.

Thank you Lord, you have allowed me to know  true JOY!  Thank you Lord, for my gift, for my FAMILY!
