Not only am I a huge fan of Amazon and an Amazon Prime Member, but I love technology and the Amazon Echo embraces all of these items very nicely. Plus it has made my life easier. Here&#8217;s what I like best about Amazon Echo Shopping Lists No one in my family has an excuse any more for not putting something on our shopping list. Just say &#8220;Alexa, add provolone cheese to the shopping list.&#8221; The item appear instantly in my smartphone Alexa app and I can tick off items as I buy them. Even things added at home by my kids appear while I am at the grocery store. This solves the problem of my kids forgetting to put milk or toilet paper on the list! Music and Sounds I have a stressful day and so I love to start my day out with bird sounds. I don&#8217;t need to think about getting a bird anymore, just apply the skill for Ambient Noise Bird Sounds and then say &#8220;Alexa, play bird sounds.&#8221; My kids even tell me that they like waking up to the sounds in the morning. Prime Music Not sure you want to buy a track or CD? Just play free Prime Music through Alexa and you can be jamming out! Love the track, buy it right then with Alexa. I have to say, that getting the Amazon Echo was one of the coolest things that I have done recently that has improved my life. Got to Love Technology! Thanks Amazon. P.S. I was not paid by Amazon for this blog post. I bought the Echo and loved it and wanted to share why with you.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.mccordweb.com\/weblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Heart.jpg"}
