Cozi up with your Family!

Remember my New Year’s resolution to get organized?  Well, so far, it’s an epic fail.  Does that mean I don’t want to spend my time pouring over organizers, tubs, bins, and other fun stuff to help me dream of being that way?  Heck no!  So with that, I introduce to you Cozi — a free website that can help you to keep track of all of those soccer games/dancing lessons/grocery lists/vacations/rare moments of sanity.  Oh, and to top it off, it can even organize your family photos for you.

Cozi is different because it interacts with your whole family — meaning in my case hubby could go in to our account and add all of his meetings and after-work things so that when I sync it up with my computer it is automatically added into Outlook or at the very least, is accessible from the web (because I use iCal – being that I’m a Mac girl and all.)  The same goes for him — it would help him to keep track of Doctors appointments for Little AG, playdates, etc so that he can know what we’re up to on any given day!

Did I mention that it’s free?  Free is good!

From now through February 4th, 2009, everyone who signs up and tries Cozi will also be entered to win a two-day home organization makeover with professional organizer, and incoming NAPO President (National Association of Professional Organizers), Laura Leist. In Laura’s two-day visit, she will makeover either the kitchen or home office in one lucky winners’ home; a service with a retail value of $5,000!  I’m already signed up and have my fingers crossed, but I thought you might be interested too, so go check it out!

2009 Resolution: Get Organized! (A Giveaway)

One of my New Years resolutions is to get organized.  I have great intentions, but inevitably the clothes are no longer in the correct hamper, things come crashing down out of my pantry when I open the door, and my wallet becomes difficult to snap shut because of all of the receipts that I shove inside of it in case I “need it” later.  I realize and freely admit that my lack of organization is not one of my more charming qualities.  This year I need to work on the clothes sorting and cluttered pantry, but thankfully, I’ve got the stuffed wallet covered!

I wrote a post a while back about this awesome product called Neat Receipts – it is basically a scanner and software that allows you to scan receipts of any size into your computer.  Not only does it scan them, but it logs them for you and pulls out all applicable information.  You can read my review of Neat Receipts and decide for yourself, but trust me when I tell you that it is a huge lifesaver for me!
