10 Tips for Managing and Organizing Your Family

Okay so TwitterMoms and Icon Apps have teamed up and want me to share my tips with readers for managing and organizing my family!  Now I have toddlers so my tips are simple since my sons don’t really have sports or activities I have to keep track of yet.

1. Put events in iCal (calendar) right away.
2. Set reminders via email for important dates.
3. Email my husband and CC: myself so we have electronic copies.
4. Keep a backup of important docs and numbers.
5. Keep extra clothes and blankets in the car.
6. Carry around crayons, coloring book, and toys at all times for kids.
7. Make notes of when to make doctor appointments.
8. Use a file folder for each person in my family.
9. Keep coats, shoes, backpack, purse, and seasonal items in the front closet ready to be grabbed and go! For sports gear there are sites like Onlysportsgear.com that can help.
10. Cut coupons, put them in my purse and remembering to use them!

What are your tips?
