Cozi

Friday, September 12th, 2008

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 ……

Qlubb

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I am so very excited!  I simply cannot wait to tell all of you … and all of the other moms from my boys’ sports teams about a truly great site just in time for fall and all of the hectic events it brings.  Today I’d like to introduce all of you to Qlubb

If you want a great way to schedule the calendar for your child’s sports, a book club, your child’s classroom, your mommy group, your playgroup, your family or any other group you can think of, this is something you will DEFINITELY want to try out!  It’s FREE, it’s SECURE and it’s EASY to use! 

When you join Qlubb for your group you get to setup a public web page for easy access, but everything else is private!  There are private group pages, shared to-do lists, a group calendar, automatic reminders, group email and more. 

My first thought when I visited this site was that suddenly managing a group that seemed a bit overwhelming got a whole lot easier :) .   I’ve always wanted to help out with managing the kiddo’s sports teams, but the bare fact was that I simply didn’t have a simple way to manage all of that information.  This takes all of the problems out of the equation!

I definitely recommend that you hop on over there and check them out!  Make your life a little easier today.
