Organising Family Life
Life can get pretty hectic, especially when you throw kids into the mix. Keeping everyone's schedules sorted, food stocked in the fridge, and the little ones entertained can be exhausting! Fortunately, there are many apps to help lighten the load and make life much easier. Here are just ten of our favorite apps to help make your life easier:
AnyList
When life gets busy, it's easy to forget the essentials at the grocery store and who has time for a second (or third) trip? AnyList makes it easy to stay on top of your grocery shopping and avoid forgetting the milk and eggs. AnyList even helps make shopping easier by grouping your list by category so you can grab all your produce, meat, or dairy at once, perfect for any busy lifestyle.
TotalBaby
Keeping track of a baby's daily needs and milestones can be overwhelming, especially for first-time parents. TotalBaby helps first time, and even seasoned parents, keep track of their little one's needs. TotalBaby provides one convenient location for logging details of your baby, like sleeping, feedings, and diaper changes as well as keeping track of doctor's appointments and vaccinations.

If getting your kids to decide on what they want in their lunchbox is a weekly battle, the LaLa Lunchbox app is here to make packing lunch easier. LaLa Lunchbox makes lunch planning fun by letting kids create meals to feed a hungry monster.
