Written by Francesca Nurlu, February 16th, 2012
With such a hectic family schedule, we all need a little help here and there, especially when it comes to organizing our daily schedule as a parent. After completing our latest scouting round at iTunes, and wanted to share with you 5 great apps/websites that will help you stay on top of your daily tasks:
Placing your daily to-do’s for the family on your iPhone has never been so easy! The latest to-do app that is sweeping the tech blogospheres is Clear. Why? Clear seems to have perfected the user-experience with great visualizations to get users hooked to scribbling their daily to-do tasks.
How many times have we written the grocery list and forgotten an item or even better, forgotten the actual list at home when we are at the store?
In comes the savior app: Grocery Gadget! Add items as you go about your day, knowing that you won’t lose the list, and pull up the itemized list straight from your phone when you are at the store.
Oh the joys of bookkeeping! Managing your finances can definitely be overwhelming as it often gets side swept by urgent family matters – chewing gum inside the Playstation again!
Mint is a wonderful Website/App that allows you to view your monthly spendings by category, see if you are going over-budget, and best of all receive alerts you if you are incurring unnecessary costs. Simply link your accounts to Mint, and your monthly reports are automated for your viewing pleasure.
Our very own Moby can surely be your daily helper when it comes to organizing the family. Moby helps you stay connected to your family members throughout the day.
From your smartphone you can see if your children have left school, arrived home or if they are safely on route to their extracurricular activities. Best of all, with a tap of a button you can see if your spouse is near a grocery store if you need him to pick up some bread for dinner.
The latest Website/App to steal the heart of America! We love Pinterest and how it provides great ideas to keep your home organized, your daily meals creative as well as providing original and fun family activities.
Pinterest is filled with great webpages that users have found across the internet and placed on their Pinterest boards. Share your favorite home-making tips with your friends or simply browse a topic of interest that other users have pinned.
