My undying love for the Google Nest.

My undying love for the Google Nest.

If you were to ask any mom what one of her wishes in life might be, you may find her wishing for more arms. Now I’m not one to want to look like an octopus per se, but to have more hands to help with this crazy time in my life - it just might make looking like an octopus totally worth it!

Enter The Google Nest Audio the perfect smart home starter product!

It might not be another arm but it certainly acts like one.


Oftentimes I find myself picking up my phone and trying to figure out the weather for that day. With both kids in daycare and school, and me enjoying walks with Sage – It’s crucial that I know the weather before we head outside. The Google Nest Audio is perfect for this! Rather than me trying to juggle a bunch of things in my hands while holding Sage and trying to scroll, I can simple say “Hey Google, what’s the temperature for today?”, and she knows what’s up! 

Full transparency - bedtime is always a difficult time around here. I’m not sure where the magical mom fairies are that manage to get their children to sleep right away, but that certainly isn’t how it goes down around this house. Thankfully the Google Nest Audio can help me with putting the kiddies to sleep too. When I’m walking upstairs with Sage in my arms, I’ll simply say “Hey Google, turn on rain sounds.” I cannot explain how convenient and fantastic this feature is for me.

My dad and I drove to PEI about a month ago with Sage in tow. I would be lying if I said there weren’t several incidents where I was trying to get him down for a nap and I hollered “HEY GOOGLE”. *set reminder to pack her next time I go on a roadtrip*



Let’s get to the good stuff. 

Some of my favourite features are:

  • 75% louder than the original Google Home, with 50% stronger bass - this is important.

  • Say ‘Hey Google’ to access a world of content, as well as play, pause, skip tracks and adjust the
    volume. - this makes things so, so convenient in my house.

  • With a built-in Google Assistant, get useful information about the weather, news, latest sports
    scores, and more. - who needs TV when you can talk to your Google friend anyways.

  • Family-friendly features include parental controls and downtime mode, which helps your family disconnect from technology during dinner, bedtime or special moments. - do I even need to mention how awesome this is? I think we all need our quality downtime these days!

  • Enclosure is thoughtfully designed with 70% recycled plastic - YESSSSS. I love this so much, well done Google *claps hands*

Now maybe you’re wondering, where can you purchase the Google Nest Audio? The answer is easy, Best Buy. Have you ever been to Best Buy? It’s almost impossible to walk out empty-handed. They have so many things that you can use in and around your home – The options are endless. Most importantly though, the Google Nest Audio is on their shelves AND online -  and I would highly suggest adding it to your home to make everyday things much more convenient and efficient. To me that is simply priceless. 

You can either click here to shop or you can head to your closest Best Buy where you may or may not find me in there perusing the aisles.
