Cozi

I’ve been meaning to have a photo journal where I can post a photo a day. Never was able to do it … until now. I found out about Cozi while looking for an online calendar. I liked this site for a number of reasons: it’s free; you can color code your appointments so you’ll know at a glance who that’s for; you can set reminders to be sent to your email or phone about said appointments; you can put your calendar on your desktop; it has a journal that you can choose to share or keep private; it has a to-do list; it has a grocery list that you can also choose to be sent to your phone if you forgot your written list; there’s a message board that can send your messages to either email or as sms; and you can sync your outlook with your cozi calendar so that whatever you put on your outlook calendar will be reflected in your cozi calendar.

So far, I have the desktop calendar, I’ve set up reminders for some of our appointments (we’ll see how that goes through email), I’m using the journal and have decided to make that as my photo journal, I’ve made a grocery list and I’ve used the message board to send an email to Jojo.

Oh and I forgot to mention something about the journal, you can choose to protect key words and replace them with something else like if you don’t want the names of your family members to be known – like how you would replace your child’s name with DS or DD for example. So when you write down your entry with their names, DS or DD will be posted instead when it gets published. This is great if you’re in a hurry writing your post and you forget to replace the names yourself.

I think Cozi is pretty handy especially if you have a busy family. This way your appointments don’t overlap and everybody can see where they have to be when and be reminded as well. The journal is a great way to jot down what’s happening and the message board is great too for sending quick notes without having to go to your email. I’m liking it so far (^_^) And if you get the chance, visit my Cozi page. You can also just click on the link above on the navbar labeled Cozi.
