I have been having a lot of fun checking out and reviewing this site! Cozi offers families a way to connect in one central place to share information, schedules and more. Completely private this site can definitely become a mom’s best friend. Since we are definitely in the middle of our craziest time of the year as a family, I can sincerely say that is has been wonderful to use this site.
I was asked by Hybrid Mom Bloggers Network to review Cozi and I’m so glad I took them up on it! Making mom’s life easier is something I’m always on board for. The immediate benefits I could see with this site (besides the privacy) is that my husband can access our family calendar from anywhere he has internet access. So if he has a meeting that might conflict with one of the boys’ schedules, he knows what’s going on and to let me know. Allowing him to be able to work around a schedule is only the beginning.
Trying to schedule 6 boys and their various sports, appointments and other needs can be complicated even with a great calendar at home. Add to that the occasional appointments and other events for my Hubby and I and you could have pure pandemonium if you aren’t careful! So, using a system like this truly does make life a lot easier. Smaller busy families will benefit just as much, especially families with teens.
I think it’s great that the entire family can have access to this calendar. For parents of teens I see it as a great way to have better communication as a family. They have access to the entire family calendar and can see at a glance even simple planned things … for instance Family Night???? So, if a friend asks if they can hang out or do something with them on a certain night, they can know what to say without always having to bug mom or dad about an already scheduled day! How nice.
Anyway, I encourage all of you to try it out even just to see what it’s like. Did I mention it’s Free???? Ok, so there went your last excuse ……

I love Cozi! I discovered it a few months ago and it’s great. I love the calendar. I use it not only for appointments but also for meal planning. I added another family member called “Dinner” so it has its own color on the calendar. I also love the shopping list feature. I love just typing my list as I plan and then printing it out when I’m done. I definitely recommend Cozi to all moms!

I downloaded this last night on your recommendation! I love it. I love that I can put dates on it to do with our children, and my husband can check it at work. It means (hopefully) less phone calls between us trying to get something organised!
