As my children are getting older, I find myself, along with my wife, acting as personal chauffeurs to a 3 and 6 year old. Of course there are the normal weekly activities such as dance class (and now that summer is here, the dance moms are shedding the baggy outfits much to my enjoyment) and school events. And it seems like one of the kids has a doctor's appointment every week for some type of ailment. This is in addition to my regular work schedule and my wife's even more hectic schedule. Overall it's very challenging to keep track of where everyone needs to be or what parent needs to take a day off as we are tasked with watching our three year old if our childcare falls through. Luckily we are in a great situation for that when it does happen but for some families it can be a real struggle. But we do have something that our parents did not have many years ago; technology. We can now use our personal mobile devices (phones for all of you non tech people, which is ironic since no one actually used it as one) to keep track of our daily activities and maintain a sense of order. The one app that I have found to work best is the Cozi Family Organizer. The following is a short list of Cozi's many features:
-Track everyone’s activities in one shared place.
-Color codes show who is involved at a glance.
-Manage school events, the practice schedule, dentist appointments, vacations—whatever you need!
-Others in the family stay up to date with automatic notifications and agenda emails.
-Share the grocery list, to-dos, recipes, and more.
-Available from any mobile device or computer.
-Named a “must-have app” by the TODAY show!
Trust me, I personally use this every day and it has worked wonders for me. I'm not some paid shill for the company as that would go against everything that I stand for. I just want to promote the app to help our other families that are in the same situations as mine. One of my favorite features is the recipe section. I usually cook on a time limit and having access to simple and healthy recipes is a huge help to my family. Especially with two picky eaters. Take my advice and download this app. You won't be able to live without it.
