Cozi Calendar

                  
A sweet friend told me about a wonderful tool. I think I am in love! And it's FREE! Yipee! It's called Cozi calendar and it's an online organizational system you can use for your families activities. I don't know how many times our big kids have said that they didn't know we had this event planned or that event planned. They are in and out so much, they never got the memo. With this calendar, any of our family can go online from their computers or their phones to check our family schedule or add an event. 

Features I am learning to love:

• Each family member has a different color code
• You can enter recurring events and set the cycle of the repetition
• You can print out a calendar for the entire family
• Or you can print one out for each family member with just their events
• You can set up a reminder so that a specific person receives a text or email ahead of the appointment
• There is an shopping list so that you can access it from your phone while you are at the store
• I never have to enter birthdays and anniversaries again!
• It has a journal function where you can keep an online family photo album and journal
• It has a "to do" list
• If you use Outlook, it will sync with that program 

 I have kept a little date book in my purse for years that I kept up with all our "stuff". That was great for me, but anytime anyone needed to know something, I had to check for them. This way, I can have a reminder text sent an hour before one of the big kids need to be at the dentist. Once I put it on the calendar, then I don't really have to think about that event again. This is going to make me more efficient. And that is always a good thing!


Here's the link, and here's my disclaimer again: these people have no idea who I am and I get absolutely nothing by telling you that I think this is a great idea!
