Mommy App: Homeroutines

I haven't done an app review in a while, so I figured I'd let you all in on this secret. Homeroutines is a great app that uses the FlyLady model to keep your house organized and clean. The app allows you to plan your daily routine, in conjunction with a rotating schedule that will help keep your house immaculate! Here are a few screenshots:

Create your own routines, you can set a reminder or just play it by ear!

Using a system similar to FlyLady, you only spend 15 minutes a day deep cleaning your house, but manage to get a lot done!

Each zone rotates each week, and repeats each month.

Husband asking what you did today? Show him this list!

You can set certain routines to show up a certain day of the week. In my case, Mondays are grocery shopping and dusting day!

I have really gotten a lot of use out of this app! I am not a naturally organized person, although with the many applications I have on hand I feel that I have become much more so. The worst part about cleaning a house is feeling overwhelmed with how much there is to do, and I feel Homeroutines really addressed this. Who doesn't have 15 minutes a day to spend cleaning?

In addition to organizing your chores and routines, Homeroutines also features a to-do list, and a website that you can update from your desktop (www.my.homeroutines.com). It costs 3.99 from the apple app store, which is on the high end of the amount I'm willing to spend on a program. However, this is one of the few times I will say it is worth the money. I really couldn't live without this app.

Mom App: Cozi Family Planner

So I haven't written about any good mom apps recently. Cozi is a great apps that helps me organize and sort my life; something any list addict (like myself) would love.

In order to use Cozi you must make a login name. What's great about this is it's not user specific, meaning your husband/significant other can log in with the same name and see the deets for the day. This brings new definition to the "honey do" list:






The shopping lists are great for groceries as you can sort them by section, or method or any other way you prefer to make a "real life" list.






This has been making my life super easy, I really just have to update my grocery list when I remember things we need to buy. You can also log into Cozi from your computer, which makes list making even more easy.

The family calendar is pretty amazing I have to say. It color codes the calendar by person, so you know who needs to be where, and when.









It's really handy for planning ahead. The best part is that Cozi is completely free! There are some ads included in the free version, but they aren't really intrusive. Check it out in the app store!
