I don’t really have a set method for organizing my children’s activities. Mostly party invitations, class schedules get put on the fridge and written down on the calendar. Qlubb looks like a great solution.

I don’t use anything to organize my kids’ activities either; we usually just run from place to place!
It would be really nice to have some organization..

The best system I have is our family dinner where we discuss each evening the events for the next day.
That’s a super cool website! Great way to organize everyone’s activities in a paperless and accessible-from-anywhere fashion!!

I find that my best help in organizes activities is my calendar. I make sure to mark down everything. Thanks so much.

Thanks.
Very cool site. And I like the promotion — cool lunch bag and eco-friendly…
keeping everything on a family calendar is handy mverno@roadrunner.com
I have always used a calendar that was sectioned off for each member of the family. I can look at it daily and see what is going on for that day.
I subscribe
I use my datebook as the master and tell the kids the night before what the next day holds. If I am organizing an event, though, I use evite a lot.

I have not really used any organizational tools in the past but I just bought a mom agenda so I am going to start keeping better track of things! Thanks for the chance.

I have not needed to organize group activates. The only tools I have used for dates is the calendar in my blackberry. It lets me know if I have conflicting appointments.
I also use my blackberry to carry books, so I can read when I have a few minutes.

we have a dry erase board on the fridge for the older kids and younger ones I keep in my cell phone calander
I used to organize group activities for a local MOMS Club. I would call around to different places I thought would be of interest to the moms and kids and arrange tours. We had a lot of fun touring bakeries, pizza shops, nature centers, pet stores, you name it, we toured it.
I use a big calendar with color-coordianated markers for each child. It hangs across the entire upper half of our refrigerator. If the house was on fire, I’d grab that first! lol

We don’t do anything extra. We homeschool, and there is already a set schedule with the curriculum. Everything else in our day to day life just comes when we make a decision to do something or go somewhere. We don’t like to have our lives preset.
Wow what a great item. I brown bag so this would be great
We plan the meals for the whole week and post them on the fridge. Thanks for the chance.

My day planner is my life. I have everything written down and I check it often. I have to be organized if I’m going to be successful.
I wish I had some tips. I’ve actually been looking for something that could coordinate all my family’s schedules. I wonder if this will work. Otherwise, I’m just an email addict. I don’t even use Facebook. Oh, I do use eVite. That’s definitely useful.
Wow! Qlubb would definitely make my organizing our Girl Scout troop’s cookie sale much easier. Instead of having to email each parent and/or trying to reach them on the phone. Everyone could have all the same info at their fingertips!

I’m really lucky. Most of the parents in my kids’ classes have email, so whenever there is an event at the school, I send out an email with all the things I need. Within 24 hours, I always have more offers of everything than we need!

I THINK I’m following your blog on Facebook – when I tried to do it again, I got a message that I was already following your blog… but the sidebar still has the button for “become a fan”, so I’m not sure if I really am or if I’m not.

There was not one dad who would stand up and lead my oldest son’s Boy Scouts troop, so I did…and I made the best of it by researching and talking to other dads, and my husband, to see what boys best like to do in groups. It was fun, but I sure wish a dad would have done it; that’s a lifetime experience and boys need responsible men to bond with too.
E-Mail is an invaluable tool for organizing group activities when used properly – #1 rule is to use free software to convert all attachments (e.g., Excel, Word, etc.) into a PDF format so everyone can open them without special software; Newer tools like evite.com are really catching on as well
I have been the coordinator of family events, room mom events and girls night out. I always like to use email and texting as the main course of communicating and getting all things coordinated.

One tool I use in organizing group activities is using Evite. It is a great tool.
Evites are the best way to organize group activities that I have found. It’s quick, free, and eco friendly!
I’m a big fan of spreadsheets! And color-coding! I’m a dork like that
Thanks for the giveaway!

I use e-mail for our church groups-its fast and I usually get great results
I have an initial to do list that everyone agrees to with dates assigned to each to do. Then we check them off as we complete them!
I have never used a website for coordinating group activities but this site looks perfect for Girls Scouts because we have so many events and outtings! Great resource.
I’ve organized play groups with kids focusing on gross motor skills. I set up an obstacle course with rubber “stepping stones”, through a parachute tunnel, and rolling down a large wedge.
Other tools that I’ve used are physioballs, trampolines, and balance beams.
Thanks!
I have found that most of the mom’s in my daughter’s class don’t check online as often as me so things like this or evite don’t work so well for them. However, most of the mom’s in my son’s class are online and we cureently have a special facebook group for his class but soemthing like this would probably work alot better for us.

I’m a very disorganized person but I’ve found that keeping a schedule of everything me and the kids have to do during the week posted in the fridge is the only way I can keep track

I print out calendar pages for me and my fiance, highlighting all the stuff we have going on for the week, and even when our most favorite tv shows are on!
We use a combined calendar system that lets us all put in when we’re available.
I use the share function on my Windows Live calendar to
keep up with my kids, their friends and the compatibility of schedules.
I’ve shown others how to use it to coordinate our excursions.
I use evernote and remember the milk…you can share it with diff types of people… Its awesome! THanks for the chance~

I used to be with Mommies groups and this would have been great. I just moved 1 1/2 weeks ago so I’m not in any group at the moment.
To organize parties I always use email in addition to sending out invites. This way if a child loses their invitation to my daughter’s party, the parents still have all the info they need.

As far as organizing on line, I have never done that. It probably would help me a lot with our PTA and other groups. Thank you

i like to organize all my emails in folders. I put them in the folder after i read them if they need to be saved, that way i can always find the email i am looking for when i need to!

For organizing myself I use my Blackberry scheduler. It keeps me on track and I can create a checklist as well. What i like the most is that I can down load list’s from the Internet on my wireless network. Very handy when buy stuff for the event.
I use a lot of email so that I can keep track when people respond to my emails
I’m used to run the Children’s Ministry program at our church, and we just used old fashioned calendars, lol. This program would have been much more helpful though!
Organizing group activities is usually such a hassle because we do it via email. So you have to wait for people to answer back, etc

I mainly use my calendar in Microsoft Outlook to keep organized. I like how it pops up reminders to me every day to make sure I don’t forget to do what i need to do. I currently have to schedule meetings for 5 department heads from different colleges which is nightmarish, but using a program called Doodle helps me to organize their schedules and make meetings actually happen!

For quick, impromptu meetings
I had to organize after school
emails sent BEFORE lunch
were always pretty cool.
But, whoa, after twelve o’clock
no one checked their mail—
so, the meeting usually flopped
when communication failed!
I use Mozilla Thunderbird’s calendar feature to remind me of important dates.
Thanks for the giveaway!

We do that online with a calendar to make sure no one forgets
Been a while since I organized any group activities – before computers were in widespread use so phones and paper lists!
I usually organize group activities by calling each person, doing it via email takes too long.
