As we near the Holidays it seems that we grow more and more busy. Not only are we still doing our daily lessons but we also have gifts to purchase and prepare, family and friends to visit, baking to do, and travel plans to make.

Did you realize that there are less than 50 days left before Christmas?

Well, ListPlanIt.com can help you stay organized and on top of things this Holiday season. As a Member of ListPlanIt.com, you can have access to over 400 printable, ready-made lists – and MORE added frequently! Browse through the lists, get ideas, type or write in your own information, and print out the lists you need, over and over again!

For one day only – TODAY, November 9th, 2009 – you can get a membership to ListPlanIt.com for half off the regular price, in celebration of Jennifer’s birthday! Jennifer, aka List Mama, is the creator and #1 user of ListPlanIt.com. Check out her birthday special.

Now, I received a membership to ListPlanIt from Jennifer, but I have yet to really use it… I’m hoping that we can get better organized this Holiday season, as we prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I guess this is as good a time as any to begin to take the time to put things on paper! ListPlanIt offers an uncluttered, organized place to do that, so it should be perfect!

Jennifer realizes that as busy moms we need all the help we can get she has also offered a membership to my friends here at From Dates to Diapers! That’s right! You can win one of TWO memberships just by leaving me a comment here, by 9pm (pst) on November 20th, telling me how you use lists – Do you make a list for everything and can’t live without them?

Believe me when I say that I am the most disorganized mother of six you may ever meet. I’m sure many of you started the year like I did, hoping to get and stay somewhat organized. Seems like this is a never-ending battle for me, that I may never win.

Now, don’t mistake my disorganization for a lack of structure… It isn’t total chaos around here, but keeping tabs on phone calls, emails, appointments, and activities is a weak spot in my life as a busy work-at-home mom.

Mom Central recently introduced me to Cozi and I am hoping it will help. With Cozi, I can create and update schedules and shopping lists, and even have them sent to my mobile or access them with my smartphone. Cozi even syncs with Outlook, so Ray can add after-work meetings or date nights to our family calendar, so we don’t double book.

So, I’m taking Cozi for a test drive… I am hoping that it will help simplify and organize my family life, at least behind the scenes.

How do you stay organized?

Cozi wants to help families keep their resolutions to get and stay organized in the New Year. Sign up and try Cozi before February 4th, and you will be entered to win a two-day home organization makeover with professional organizer, and incoming NAPO President (National Association of Professional Organizers), Laura Leist. In Laura’s two-day visit, she will makeover either the kitchen or home office in one lucky winners’ home; a service with a retail value of $5,000.
