‘Hey, Alexa!’ 3WAYS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT CAN HELP GET YOUR KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL
THE REVERBERATIONS OF REVIEWS We Are a Safe Bet!
Even though parents and kids everywhere are getting close to celebrating the last day of school this year, school day mornings are difficult no matter what season it is. Do you feel like you’ve run a marathon by 9 a.m. every day? Rest assured that you’re not alone. Mornings are often the most hectic and stressful part of a parent’s daily schedule. Fortunately, there is an inexpensive and popular device that can help take some of the pressure off your morning routine and get your kids to the bus on time: Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa! ALARMS OF ALL KINDS You can place an Echo Dot in your kid’s room and set an alarm that wakes them up to the weather report, a standard alarm sound, or their favorite tunes. You can also program Alexa to turn on a compatible bedside lamp so they wake up to light instead of sound, which offers a more calming way to wake up. If your kid decides to catch a few more z’s and ignore their alarm, you can use some of Alexa’s other features, like Drop In and Intercom, to start a two-way conversation or send announcements to all the kids’ rooms in the house. REMINDERS AND LISTS Alexa can also help you check off items from your family’s morning to-do lists to minimize the chaos of weekday mornings. You can create reminders to pack lunches or grab homework, and then all you have to do is ask, “Alexa, what are my reminders?” She will run down the list, so you can hit the road early without the nagging feeling that you left something behind. MAKE IT A GAME “Out the Door” is an interactive Alexa game that turns getting ready for school into an adventure for younger children. Each day, kids are given a new superpower and have to defeat a different creature as they complete “missions,” which include tasks like brushing their teeth and getting dressed. It makes the process of getting ready for school exciting and gives kids an incentive to fulfill their responsibilities. If you don’t already have an Echo Dot, you can find them at most major retail stores. Make your mornings less stressful by starting with “Hey, Alexa” and going from there.
Ever since our first store opened in 1938, the team at Janet Davis Cleaners has made it their mission to offer supreme service to each and every client who walks through the door looking for dry-cleaning help. But we don’t want you to just take our word for it! Here is what one happy customer had to say about our services: “As a couture bridal boutique with stores in Indiana, Washington, New York, California, and Michigan, no one’s standard is higher for referring cleaning services than ours. Even though we’ve expanded and have tried other cleaning services out of state, Janet Davis Cleaners is the only professional cleaning service we use and refer. We simply do not have confidence in any other provider and prefer not to refer at all than to have a bad experience befall any of our brides. “While the prices may be higher than other cleaners, no one can beat their value and professionalism. One of the things that stands out the most to me is that, with their wedding customers, whether boutique or bride, Kyle and Dave personally attend to each wedding gown, and as professionals, they do NOT overpromise. They’d rather say no if they can’t hit a deadline for us rather than overpromise and underdeliver. In this industry, their honesty and dedication are gold! “In fact, even for the maintenance of our gowns, we prefer to pay extra to ship our dresses from Indiana to Janet Davis rather than use a local provider. This is the night-and-day difference between Janet Davis and any other provider we’ve tried.”
