Railroad Wives Depot

If you're anything like us, we have Amazon Echo devices throughout our home.  We've been working on making our home smart one room at a time, one light at a time, one TV at a time... One of my favorite ways to make Alexa work for me is in my child's room.  I'm so tired of the daily argument about bath time and bed time, and this RR mama will take all the help she can get.  She currently has a kids echo in her room which comes in very handy.  Here are a few of the things I use my Alexa devices for to help run this Railroad family's home! 1. Announcements! If you're not already using this feature, you are missing out.  My house isn't big, but I do not enjoy walking from one end of it to the other to tell my kid to come to dinner.  So I use this announcement feature to call my family to dinner! Here's how it works:  Tell Alexa - Alexa, Announce DINNER'S READY!   And she will announce it to all of the other Alexa devices on the account, including phones

My railroad family has become increasingly more important to me by the month.  Our tribe has continued to grow and thrive over the past 2 years, and it's only due to good women, stepping up and giving fellowship to their sister railroad wives.  We have an amazing community of smart, beautiful, caring, talented women who are determined to bring their A game and give of themselves to help others in their community.  They make me incredibly proud to be involved and be considered their sister.  If you are a Railroad wife, I suggest you find your tribe.  Use the tools you have to find the women who are in your same boat.  And fellowship.  Talk, listen, cry, love, yell, and then listen again.  And love.  And don't let Drama stop you.   Women will be women.  Let them. Just know that the good always outweighs the bad.  Always.  And stick together.  Because you need them.  And know that they need you.
