Forgot a birthday? Get MyPunchBowl!

I'm so busy all the time with the blogging/freelance writing/mommy/trying to keep my head straight thing, so I guess it's understandable I forgot my cousin's birthday last week. I feel terrible about it, but now I have to scramble to find a good gift and mail it out!

I'm 2,000 miles away from all my friends and family now, so it's very important for me to keep dates straight and get gifts out to the indended recipients in tim to arrive for the event! (And we have a H-U-G-e family, so this is a top priority!)

Enter MyPunchbowl Birthday Reminders!



It's a pretty cool site that allows you to do tons of stuff! You can sign up through your facebook account, request family and friends to add their birthdays to your list via email, collect birthdays through Twitter and Facebook, and even organize birthday lists into groups like friends and family.

And once you get a birthday reminder, you can easily begin planning a party with MyPunchBowl Planning or send a personalized birthday card using MyPunchBowl eCard Studio.

List it, plan it, do it

I'm a "List-it Woman". Simply put, if it doesn't get written down on a To-Do list somewhere for me to check off, erase, cross off, or mark as completed in some fashion, then it pretty much doesn't get done.

So you can bet I was thrilled to try out ListPlanit's services...and by "services," I mean a "List-it Woman's" dream come true.

Run by work-at-home mom, Jennifer Tankersley, and ListPlanit is the place to go for printable lists to keep every aspect of your life in order---everything from meal planning, blog topics to write about, holidays and special occassions, back to school schedules and homework planners, and more! A paid membership is required to access all of what ListPlanit has to offer, but the costs are more than reasonable and you get major bang for the buck.

Once printed, it's simple enough to three-hole punch and stuff into a three-ring binder for easy access to your favorite lists. Or for those who like to save on printing and paper (a la eco-friendly)you also can download one of ListPlanit's E-Planners for contacts, baby, holidays, memories, moving, and anything else you can think of.

It really is a genius site that any mom can appreciate and will most certainly use. So enter to win a quartlery membership here!
