Am I the last to discover Cozi family calendar?

[CynthiaDL]

I've been feeling overwhelmed with scheduling and calendar syncing with DH and so this weekend started a Cozi calendar for the fam that will send text reminders to me, DH and DD (plus emails to DS who doesn't have a phone yet).

You can tag things as part of a schedule (like a sports team) which is cool.

I am working with DH to take some more responsibility for keeping schedules and appts on track -- we both work FT and yet I'm the one who has always had to track everything and it's wearing me down!

I hope this helps and wanted to share the tip!

Never heard of this but think it would be really helpful for us too. Is there a website? Does it cost money?

The basic version is free. It's what I'm using so far. You can go ad free and get upgrades for $50/year.

Never heard of it! Thanks for mentioning!
I LOVE The idea of it sending txt msgs to the kids when they have upcoming appts. Sometimes DD drives herself to appts and she faults me for not reminding her of them in time.
Thanks! Gonna ck out!

Dh and I use google calendar - does the same thing. I would be lost without my text alerts. I have them set to remind me an hour before and I can't tell you how many times I have needed that reminder!

I can see dh's personal and work calendars as well - very handy.

It is awesome! You can get it to automatically synch with MANY calendars, including school calendars, sports calendars (if on-line), holidays, etc. and then determine who gets an alert about what. It sends us a weekly e-mail of upcoming events.

We use google too. DH and I both have personal calendars (not shared) and then we have a family one for things that need to be shared. I use the reminder options for everything.

Google Calendar here too! Especially because of the divorce, we can plot out our parenting time, special events, etc... and overlap with work and personal... So there are shared items, and personal items.

I can send an email reminder, or a text message reminder, etc... as often as needed!

Works on iphone, ipad, computer, etc...

Couldn't survive without it, lol!
