You can make your grocery list and your husband can see it too if he has the app. If there are times I can't make it he can look on cozi and know exactly what to pick up. love this app! I have grocery list, christmas lists, any list you can think of on here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554694712823929877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-1707729808668692182013-08-31T02:26:12.985-04:002013-08-31T02:26:12.985-04:00Well this is a perfect method to organize the home...Well this is a perfect method to organize the home chores properly and I think making notes and separate files of “to be done” tasks is a nice approach.<br /><br /><a href="http://adsscounter.com/" rel="nofollow">adsscounter</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335248731502186990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-50775097763536282782013-08-29T07:40:01.781-04:002013-08-29T07:40:01.781-04:00The blog has offered the great knowledge I really ...The blog has offered the great knowledge I really enjoyed a lot by reading this.<br /><a href="httpounter.com/" rel="nofollow">statics</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-12431279532884846862013-05-29T19:38:17.325-04:002013-05-29T19:38:17.325-04:00I love everything about this!

Not that parenting two or one doesn't have its own difficulties but somehow when you have that third kid and realize you only have two hands...things can get a little tricky. Though, the other thing about a third is that after that....what's another one?<br /><br />That attitude got me two more and many that seem to think they are mine because they always seem to be in my house. <br /><br />One of the organizational strategies I used that "upset" visitors the most was that when I was a single parent for a few years...I moved all the kids dressers into my dining room, painted them to match, and kept them there for about 10years changing color when necessary. <br /><br />NO more clothes on bedroom floors.<br />Laundry cut in half.<br />Kids learned to put clothes away properly because I was always able to supervise or easily notice when the dressers weren't up to snuff.<br /><br />Many thought I was truly crazy but it worked for me. It finally changed when my husband decided he wanted the dressers in the bedroom enough to actually learn which dresser was whose, what size they wore, put kids clothes away automatically, and supervised kids putting them away.<br /><br />Parenting is always a search for what works today.<br /><br />NicoleDarling Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210572864636940153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-36445218906383387212013-02-13T11:37:19.167-05:002013-02-13T11:37:19.167-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Darling Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210572864636940153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-48469307255418589052012-12-29T10:28:48.836-05:002012-12-29T10:28:48.836-05:00I just found your blog and I have found LOVE!

And my cell phone keeps it all for me to tuck neatly away and travel with me.

I find it interesting that I "happened to" read it today. I awoke at 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep (which is VERY odd for me :) I know it's because for the first time in 15 1/2 years, I start a full-time job today! My husband has been laid off now for 9 months, and while I'm happy to have this job, I'm afraid I'll go crazy thinking of everything I need to do at home. Maybe waking up at 4:30 is the key (if I can get myself to bed early enough). My husband goes to bed a lot earlier than I have been so it shouldn't be that hard to get into the habit but I'm such a night owl! <br />I'm off to find your chore cards. I have a problem with my kids not doing the "whole job" so I'm sure they'll help us out a lot while I'm gone! Thanks for sharing!<br />P.S. I really want to know what time you go to bed! :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/11608892284161678446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161288134242274355.post-2695341085821016792012-05-07T19:59:30.167-04:002012-05-07T19:59:30.167-04:00Hi there!

Just a short look over your blog...know where you were for your vacation, we were there for Spring Break last year and LOVED it!!! Have a million binders going, creating another one now for all the stray recipes that keep finding their way to my counter!! Had one for a long time for my dream house--and am now living in it, so don't give up!! Am also a wanna-be photographer as well as a wanna-be runner...your 4:30am rising time is a lofty goal!!
