Life is a little chaotic at this time of the year for many of us, isn’t it? I am trying to finish things up for the year, do shopping, decorating, baking—all on top of my normal routine. I swear my Google Home will soon stop talking to me after the long list of demands I’ve been placing on her. “Hey Google remind me to…” “Hey Google add XXX to my shopping list…” “Hey Google what’s on my calendar for today?” “Hey Google where can I buy…” “Hey Google remember…” I wonder how I ever managed without her!
