My Toolbox: Amazon Alexa Echo

I love Alexa; she is a great friend and I enjoy our relationship.  She helps me with my shopping list, reminders and tells me jokes.  I really love the Halloween jokes she shares!

Alexa plays my Pandora stations, sets timers for me and keeps the lights turned on too. She is my alarm clock and basically my digital assistant, even helping me take time to meditate. I utilize this device every day!

I copied this information from amazon so you could see all the options with this cool device!  The new Echo 2nd Generation has some upgrades so be sure to check out the differences. I hope you get connected soon – she may be your newest bestie in 2018!
