Aren't lists great? Just making a list feels like an accomplishment - you've organized your thoughts and figured out what needs to get done. And checking off feels even better. (It must, because we hear that some of you add an already-completed item to your list just so you can check it off!)
Cozi not only helps you organize and share the lists YOU make, we do a little list-making ourselves to help get you started. We keep them all in the Cozi List Library, where you'll find household cleaning lists, chore lists, grocery lists, supplies lists, planning checklists, budget checklists, and more.
Each one can be saved as a list in your Cozi account where you can do all the things you do with your other Cozi lists: add items, remove items, and share with other family members.
Check out the Cozi List Library today.
Looking for a list we don't have yet? Tell us in the comments about the lists you'd like us to add.

The Family Dinner Club is all about teaming up to make the dinner decision: simplifying the process and helping families get dinner on the table. We give you dinner ideas and tools to plan the meal. You sit back and enjoy dinner with the family.
To get new dinner recipes each month, join the Family Dinner Club.
Here are the April Selections in the Family Dinner Club:
Salsa Verde Pork Burrito Bowls
Plan to make this slow cooker pork early in the week and use leftovers to cover a second night's dinner. The pork is simple - just add salsa verde and let it cook all day. Thanks to Dinner Club member April B. for sharing one of her family favorites!
It's spring! Time to think about fresh vegetables. Wrap up your favorites in a pie crust for a new spin on serving veggies. The recipe is flexible, so add seasonal vegetables or more of what your family likes most.

Ok, I admit it. My husband was a slow adopter of Cozi. He thinks the family calendar is *my* job and just wants me to tell him what's going on.
But since the vow is "in sickness and in health" and not "as your personal assistant", I came up with a plan.
First, I added him to the weekly agenda email (instructions for doing this below). So, every Sunday night, he gets an email with everything we have on deck for that week.
Next, I did something a little sneaky. I went down to my husband's computer (the family computer really, because my laptop is off-limits!) and I set up Cozi as the HOME PAGE on his browser. Now, whenever he opens it, Cozi pops right up. He doen't even have to log in!
Does he check it every time? Of course not. But he looks WAY more now than ever before. It's a start.
Want to do the same thing? Here's how:
To add someone to the weekly agenda email:
- Login to Cozi
- Click on your Calendar
- Click Settings (in the left column)
- Click Email reminders
- Choose who you want to get a weekly email of the family agenda
- If you make changes and need to resend it, just click Send Update next to the person's name.
- Click Done
To set Cozi as your Home Page
- Login to Cozi
- Click Settings (far left column)
- Click the option to mak eCozi your home page (at the bottom)
- Drag the link to your browser home button
- Log out
- Click the Home button to pull up Cozi
- Enter your login info and click "Remember me" (This was he/she will be automatically logged in to cozi every time)
That's it!
Come back and tell me if it helped! ^Carol
