Staying Organized With Our HP ENVY All-In-One Computer & Printer {Review} #HPFamilyTime

I wrote this post while participating in a program on behalf of HP and received and HP ENVY Rove 20 TouchSmart All-in-one and an HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One printer as part of my participation.  

A few weeks ago I wrote about how I was being productive with my new HP Envy Touchsmart computer and printer and the computer continues to be a lifesaver for my family.  HP has created challenges for me so I can really test out and show off features of the computer and printer.

The first challenge:  Stay Organized.

So as a mom of three (four if you count my husband) I need to stay organized.  From groceries to our busy schedules, I have a lot to keep straight!  The HP Envy is an amazing computer for staying organized.

From moving tiles around to create areas for each member or category to all the different apps you can download (many for free), there are tons of ways to stay organized on the HP ENVY.

Here are my apps to stay organized!

Right off the bat my newest way to stay organized is through the Cozi App.  Cozi is a free app and website that helps families keep “track of everything from school schedules to sports activities, grocery lists, meals and chores — all in one place accessible by every member of the family and from any computer or mobile device.”  It was actually already on my computer so I decided to check it out and its amazing!  I of course rushed to download it on my smartphone and told my husband to do the same.

Calendar:

Grocery List – This is great because I can add to it or check it from our computers or phone and my husband can add to it as well!

Recipes and you can even add recipes from anywhere online right into Cosi through a bookmark!

I haven’t started the Journal yet but this is great way to remember all those crazy things my kids say!

To Do list, obviously I need to add to it:

Oh and I printed worksheets to keep the kids busy while I work on getting organized!

To keep my kids on track I am teaching them about calendars and schedules and so of course I had to make them a calendar of their own.  I found this one on the Snapfish by HP website that you print out and wrap around a can (like canned vegetables) and then you can twist it around to change the date!

Here is too our monthly family calendar I print so I can easily glance at it as well as show the kids:

I printed everything from our HP ENVY Printer and I am always in awe of how smoothly and flawlessly it prints.  I used to buy generic ink for my old printer (a different brand) and I can really tell the difference in quality with this one from HP.
