this little icon on my phone is saving my life...
cozi
it's my friday fave this week.
for the past few years joey and i have felt like we were running around in circles trying to figure out how to keep our schedules coordinated and avoid conversations like these...
me: don't forget we have that meeting tonight
joey: what meeting?
me: you know...the one i told you about 2 weeks ago.
joey: i don't remember that.
me: well, it's on the family calendar
joey: where's the family calendar?
me: ummm...i'm not sure...
i'm sure none of you can relate to this dilemma {or the semi-annual argument that ensues about being irresponsible or a poor communicator or some other awful marriage-damaging comment}. cozi is like a dream come true when it comes to those scheduling nightmares. joey found this app and i was initially 'app'rehensive {pun intended...sorry...i know that's horrible}. anyway - bottom line...
it works!
we both have the app on our phones. we can access it there {or on our computer} at any time. it instantly updates anything we add to our family calendar and allows you to flag it as a family event or specify one or more members of the family it applies to. as another added bonus it has a shopping list which i am using regularly. anytime i think of something i need from the store i type it in...then either one of us can pick up stuff when we're out since we both have access to the list...genius!
i still use this pinterest-inspired weekly calendar i made. i like to have something i can glance at when i'm at home to see what's going on for the week...
so...as the folks at cozi say -
bye bye chaos. hello coordinated.
do you have any other tools to help keep your family organized?
