Online Scheduling

If you're a Mom you deserved a virtual secretary. Why between your unending household chores, your kids have to be bathed and changed into clean clothes several times a day,  and if you want to save and have your children eat nutritious food you have to prepare meals at least three times a day (you can't gave them take-out food all the time it's expensive and unhealthy). As organic food don't appear out of nowhere you have to go buy them in the health food store, in between all of that you have to do the laundry, fold and iron the clothes and put them away as clothes don't jump in the washer or dryer or fold or iron themselves either. To be continuously fit to do all these tedious chores again and again you have to be fit and healthy so you need to exercise regularly. Anyway exercise is supposed to make you feel good and have the energy to spend more quality time with your family like reading books to them, supervising them in doing their homework, taking them to a picnic, etc. On top of all of these you have to attend parent teacher meetings during open school, watch your children school programs and arrange play dates with other Moms. It's understandable that you need something to keep track of your busy schedule so why not try the Zoho Calendar,  a free online calendar application that helps you to track your children's check-ups, dental appointments and school events, schedules for football, basketball games, ballet lessons, art lessons, etc. You can also use it to send invitation and track RSVP's for their birthday parties or for family get together during holidays like Rosh Hashanah, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, etc.  On Zoho Calendar, you can invite others to your event as and when you create it.
