Personally, I don't like clutter. Whether it's forms, messages from school, or just the piles of paper that seem to accumulate in my house, I will look for opportunities to streamline everything. I like the idea of having one single location that makes our household easily manageable and our family organized.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to review the website AboutOne.com. AboutOne is a website that acts as a family management system. It allows families to consolidate all the information that impacts our lives. Whether it's education information, home information, or a family newsletter, this website easily navigates all the family information that you need into a simple fact sheet.
For the past week, I've been playing with the website. I've found a couple of items extremely helpful. One is the babysitter list. Whenever we have someone watch our kids, whether it's for a couple of hours or for the weekend, I write a list. What I don't like doing, is updating the list with new information. The replace and delete is time consuming and I'm always afraid that I will miss something. The AboutOne program has all the information summarized into a report. You can update data periodically. When you need the report, simply print the it and you are done.
Another item that I like is the family newsletter. I wish that we had this idea earlier in the year. For anyone who does a letter in a Christmas card, this idea is perfect. How many times do I have to think back on all the family memories throughout the year. This newsletter can be printed or emailed. This digital scrapbook is an easy way to keep family and friends updated with all the happenings in your household. Usually a family newsletter takes me forever to format, with AboutOne it only takes a fraction of the time.
AboutOne can compile your education information, volunteer information, health information and many other important family documents all in one single location. The cost for an AboutOne.com account is $5 a month or $30 for a year. Right now, you can get a 15 day trial at no cost or credit card required.
So if you are ready to have an organized family, consider joining the AboutOne team.
