Cozi

A site for families who think staying organized is an unobtainable goal — being wrong has never felt so good.

Family life can get pretty busy at times. OK, that's probably a bit of an understatement. It's more like downright hair-pulling hectic. But now there's a simple way for families to stay organized, manage their schedules and keep in touch: Cozi.com.

Start out by creating a Cozi Family Calendar. Set up a color for each member of the family and enter your activities, appointments and more (which is as easy as typing "Pizza night, Friday at 4" — Cozi knows right where to put it). You can even sync multiple Outlook accounts to a Cozi family account and get all of your to-dos in one easy-to-access place. You'll never forget another family event.

But Cozi doesn't just help manage your family time. Check out the Lists feature (great for groceries, chores, etc.), the Message feature (which helps you send quick notes to family members via e-mail or text message) and the Family Journal (think digital scrapbooking). A free Cozi.com account even comes with a customizable screen saver, where you can showcase family photos mixed with reminders for upcoming appointments.

So how could something tied up on the Internet possibly help when you're always on the move? Cozi.com is accessible on any mobile phone or computer with an online connection. You can even call Cozi's toll free number and have an appointment or list read to you or sent as a text message!

So if you've been dreaming of getting all of your family on the same page, Cozi.com is the place to do it. Go ahead, get Cozi.
