Last holiday season, I purchased an Amazon Echo and an Echo Dot for my home. I didn’t know at the time just how much we would use Amazon Alexa. Each morning, I ask Alexa for the day’s weather and news headlines while I have my coffee. During the day while I work, I listen to my Spotify playlists. When I’m leaving the house, I ask Alexa to play smooth jazz for the dog. I could go on and on, and I’m not even utilizing the many smart home features of the device. You might just be surprised by how many Alexa skills there are. I’m sure there are many for me to yet discover.

It is my 9-year old who gets the most use out of Alexa. She likes to ask Alexa for jokes and fun factoids. There are also many interactive games and stories available. Alexa is super entertaining for kids!
