Get Cozi!

I recently heard about the Cozi app from my sister.  It is an online family calendar that can be accessed by multiple family members who share the same password.   There is also a free app, so I figured I would try it out.  What did I have to lose?

Oh. My. Goodness.

I am in love!!!

The set-up process is really easy, and you just make it a password that everyone who accesses it will know.  For our family, only Matt and I are using it, but I can see where a family with busy teenagers would love for everyone to have access.

Once you have an account, you can start adding events to the schedule!  Each family member has their own color, or you can enter an event for the whole family.   You adjust the time, the place, and the day. You can also say if this is a repeating event (like Wednesday night youth group), and you can have it repeat weekly, daily, biweekly, monthly, etc.  You can also include a stop date for the repeating.  One feature that I haven't used, but think would be good for my husband, is the reminder feature you can activate for an individual event.  You can have it texted or emailed to you.

Because it's an app as well, I can access it any time on my phone.  No more forgetting the calendar when I need to make a follow-up doctor's appointment!  It's all on my phone!  I have included work, doctor's appointments, soccer practices, birthday parties, and every other obligation we have.  Matt doesn't have to call me anymore to ask about a certain day because he can access it right on his phone or computer as well.  It's good for our marriage. :)

The reason I haven't gone to an online calendar before now is that I really like having a calendar in print form.  Well guess what?!  I can print this calendar by month as an overview of events, by week with details, or by every few weeks with some detail.  LOVE it!  We now print the calendar out by month to keep on the refrigerator and by week to keep in my 31 organizer.  Then it's all in print form as well as having it online and on my phone.

I am getting absolutely no compensation for this post.  I'm just a busy mom who needed to get her multiple calendars all into one...and needed to get her husband organized too!  :)  It's pretty cool though...and free!!!  I love free!

We have been using it for a few years and I still love it and recommend it all the time. Keeping track of three busy kids is doable with Cozi. My kids are a little older and the sophomore checks Cozi before committing herself to anything that would require a ride from us. It is WONDERFUL. You can even have it send a weekly email of your whole week to anyone who needs that information. The reminders via text are wonderful for my husband!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
