I have been using 3 new sites that I think are pretty awesome and very useful. The first site is called http://www.cozi.com. It is a site that helps manage your family’s schedule and helps keep everyone on track in the family by email and texting. The reasons I love the site are listed below:
- the shopping list feature is great because I use it everyday by adding items to it as we run out at home and then when I get ready to go to the store all I have to do is simply have the list sent to me as a text message. I can not stress how great this has been for someone who is infamous for making list right before I leave for the store and end up walking out of the house without it.
- the fact that I can set up appointments for my husband and kids in the calendar and have Cozi email my husband a couple of days before hand to remind him of his upcoming appointments. This is great because my husband is very forgetful and I usually have to keep his appointments in my calendar in order to make sure he doesn’t forget, now I can add the appointment and then forget about it if I choose because Cozi reminds him for me.
I could go on and on about the things I love about the site, however I have two other sites that I want to discuss as well so I will keep my likes to 2 things per site. 🙂 you can thank me now, lol.
The next site that I have recently started using is a site called http://www.mint.com. I like this site because it helps you manage your families finances in a very easy format. I also love that it tracks trends in your spending and sends you a report every week to let you know how you are doing in comparison to the budgets you set for the month. however if you can’t wait till the end of the week you can easily check in each day and see right in the homepage how you are doing. My two favorite features in this site are:
- The ability to see and track your spending by store, category, or a number of other ways. It helps me to see easily where most of our money is going .
- I love the ability to create budgets and see how I am doing by day and easily see how much I have left in each category any day I choose.
Although this site is a great tool i forewarn you in advance that it can be pretty eye-opening and even convicting once you see exactly how much you spend on things you don’t think you spend that much on.
Lastly the site I have been using for a little over a year now, is called http://www.mixbook.com. The reason I love this site is because it lets you scrapbook your photo memories all electronically. I love scrapbooking but I DONT like spending all that money on scrapbooking materials nor do I have the time to cut and paste and stick and whatever else that needs to be done in order to paper scrapbook. I also have enough clutter, so I am not interested in adding the additional clutter of more scrapbooks. My two favorite features with this site are:
- they offer great designs and lots of options for decorating your electronic scrapbook, and they even have the option to have your scrapbook printed should you choose to do so.
- I love the fact that I have the option to email my scrapbook as soon as I finish to my friends and family for them to enjoy my work and photos as well. 🙂
Well those are my three new favorite sites I hope that someone will find this info useful and give them a try. If you have already use them before please share your thoughts and let me and others know what you think about them as well.
Have a great night! 🙂
