My trick to staying organized with my family is my oh-so-reliable google calendar on my laptop. It is so easy to use and before bed every night, I check it for the next days activities and reminders for whats coming up ahead. Since I started keeping track of everything, I have a hard time missing anything! Which is a good thing, right?!

I love Google calendar!! My husband and I run our own computer repair business and we use it to keep all our appointments. My husband also installs it for most of his business customers. It has a lot of different applications. I love that you can share with another user. You can create ones for play dates with other moms, keep your and your husband’s schedule’s straight, or even keep tabs on your teenagers! I would be happy to help any one (for free) who has questions. ashley@resolveitcomputer.com
I ***LOVE*** Google calendar! We also have a calendar just for meal plans so we can plan for the week and see all the activities. We have a reminder set up that sends us a text 24 hours in advance of a meal so we can remember to get anything needed out of the freezer or if we need to grab something from the grocery.
I love Google calendar. Can’t live without it!
Last year I used a family calendar, the grid sort, with spots for everyone everyday. I was the only one who looked at it, but I liked the organization and being able to see things on paper. Plus, I hoped it would catch on 😉 I transferred everything to my google calendar, and used both… Then my husband got a smart phone, and I set up his ggoogle calendar… Now I can just go on the laptop and enter the events we want him at 🙂 I set the alarms to 24 hours, and 2 hours prior on every event, for both of us 🙂
