Gettin' Cozi

As a busy working mom if there is one thing I know it's that there aren't enough hours in the day. Let alone hours wasted tracking down family members and backtracking to pick up things forgotten.

I have found something that just might revolutionize your entire life.

I'm not kidding.

Let me introduce you to my new best friend, Cozi. This nifty (and cute) little site is packed with HUGE helps such as:

  • A family calendar
  • Customizable lists
  • Send reminders and messages
  • Mobile phone access
  • Photo collage screen saver
  • Plus it will sync to Outlook!

Here's what makes Cozi so unique. If used correctly, it will become your families launching pad. Take the family calendar for example. Every member of your family get his or her own color so that identifying the who's who from the what's what is easy enough for a preschooler to do!

Cozi even syncs with Outlook! That means when Mom or Dad update their calendar at work, Cozi automatically updates the family calendar - no more missed appointments or double bookings!

Oh, and if you're sitting at Chick-fil-a waiting on your play date friends to arrive and start thinking "...wait, are we supposed to be at McDonald's today?" you can call Cozi and have today's appointments read to you or texted to your phone!

(standard text messaging fees probably apply.)

Oooh, now lets look at another one of my favorite features!! The customizable list feature!

Cozi promises "No more sticky notes and scraps of paper, no more return trips to the grocery store. Cozi helps you manage the various items you need to purchase and tasks that need to be done."

Anything you can think of to list (favorite dinner ideas, errands for the day, Christmas shopping list) Cozi can help! So if you make a mad dash to the store to pick up some TP and they have a sale on something you *think* might be on the Christmas shopping list, you just give Cozi a call and they will text it to you (or read it to you over the phone)!

Last but certainly not least...

Keeping your family up to speed throughout the day is a no-brainer with Cozi. Have a change of plans or need something from the store? Send a quick email or text message. You don't even need a cell phone, because you can do it all from your Cozi family home page!! Now Dad can swing by the store on his way home to pick up that gallon of milk!

This isn't even all the stuff that Cozi offers...this is just the top of the iceberg people! Go check it out!

Did I mention that all of this is FREE!?

  2. Wow, that looks like it would've been very useful about fifteen years ago. Where was the web when I could've really used it? :)
