New Years is the time of year when we make a list of promises or “resolutions” to improve our lives in the upcoming year. Getting organized always seems to be near the top of everyone’s list (just underneath losing weight) but by mid-January, these resolutions are often long forgotten.

But this year when you put Get Organized on your list, you’ve got some help, Famundo.

Famundo is made to help you organize your life. It’s got an online calendar for everyone in the family, a place to make list of things you need to buy and do, and an address book where you can keep track of your family and friends. You can send your self reminders so you never forget important events and, you can keep your important files and document in a super safe vault.

And our latest version, Famundo Social, has safe and secure social networking for families and friends.

So this year, put Sign up for Famundo on the top of your list. The rest will be easy.

True Stories - Keeping track of 5 children's activities

richard.kuhlenschmidt@famundo.com (Richard Kuhlenschmidt) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:24:00 -0400

We are really enjoying famundo! We use it to keep track of our 5 children’s different activities, my work schedule and other family affairs! I have already told a group of moms I know about it and have been able to show our family page as an example to them. Using a paper calendar to write all of our activities and the crucial information involved for each one was simply not working and I had a hard time with last minute warning about something going on. Now I know ahead of time when something is going to happen, and can even see where it will be, who will be taking them to the activity and the best part- when it will be over so I’m not worrying all night.

True Stories - Helping to Organize our Entire Family

I am loving the Famundo! I’m using it not just for my entire family to keep track of their individual and family events but also in such instances like keeping my weekly supper menu and a listing of my son’s DVD and game collection so that if I’m out shopping, I can bring up my lists on the web using my phone and ensure that I’m not buying duplicates! It is helping to organize our entire family.

We are very pleased that Famundo is featured in the Yuzhi Yang’s Miss Gizmo blog on Ladies’ Home Journal online.

Whether you have one kid or five, each child probably has a calendar full of activities: school events, scout outings, church meet-ups, volunteering, friends’ birthdays… Whew, it’s a wonder you can stay on top of it all. If you find the average online calendar to be too geared toward the office, Famundo.com’s family-oriented calendar might be a better fit.

True Stories - Keeping Families in Touch

richard.kuhlenschmidt@famundo.com (Richard Kuhlenschmidt) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:50:00 -0400

Let me share with you how we are using Famundo.

I’m a Mom with 2 daughters in their 30’s. Each has an active family. One daughter lives 6 miles away from me, but the other daughter lives 8 hours away. We decided that it would be nice to know what each of us is up to at any given time. Also, as a vacation planner, we can see each others events and activities and decide “yes, this would be a good weekend for the three families to get together.”

Between the two daughters, I have 5 grandchildren. Famundo allows me to see their baseball schedules, dance class times, etc. and of course keep up with my girls too.

Thanks for providing us with this service.

True Stories - The Life of a Busy Family

richard.kuhlenschmidt@famundo.com (Richard Kuhlenschmidt) — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:52:00 -0400

Here is another true story about how Famundo has helped a family manage their busy lives.

My family has used a calendar program, cell phones calendars, and paper calendars for years to try to keep up with each other’s activities. Up until we found Famundo, the paper calendar with a different column for each family member worked best for us. The drawback was that when we were away from the house, we were unable to check availability of different family members as the calendar was at home in the kitchen. I have a small family, there are only 3 of us, but we are all always running in different directions since our daughter is now a teenager. Whether it be band, cheerleading, late work schedules, parent conference night, basketball, or girls night out, when something came up when we were away, we were unsure of each other’s availability because we couldn’t check that calendar that was at home in the kitchen.

Famundo allows us to keep all of our calendars in one place – easily accessible from any computer – or even from a cell phone. We can see if there is somewhere we’re supposed to be, check ahead for upcoming events, and add new items to the calendar from afar.

We can also give our password to extended family members so they can see our calendar to know if we’re busy before making any plans that involve us. Everyone knows how busy we are and how little time we spend at home. This is a valuable tool for everyone!

It has definitely made our life easier and we will continue to use it in the future.

Thank you, Famundo!
