Before my son was in elementary school and I had my twins, I never realized just how busy life could get. Sometimes I look back and long for the days where we would have nothing going on but really, I thrive on a busy schedule! The one thing I always say to friends, family and clients, it’s that if it’s not on my calendar, it doesn’t happen. Now I say, if it’s not in my Pod, it doesn’t happen!
PodKeeper is an online family organizer and is ideal for all extra-curricular activities: soccer, little league, playgroups, scout troops, swim teams, book clubs, school classes, PTA, etc. The list is really endless and includes anything with a need for ongoing communication and coordination.
It’s an ideal organizer for both leaders of groups and families! I immediately set up my Mitchell Family Pod and included my husband and my Mom since she frequently helps out with our kids. Since Hayden started school, there are just SO many activities going on. Just a few weeks ago, my husband said he scheduled something for a Thursday the same time as an event at Hayden’s school. I thought I had told him about it since it was scheduled in my calendar but I didn’t. Thanks to PodKeeper, this won’t happen anymore since when I set up an event, it automatically will send out an email to everyone in my Pod. I can even set it up to have an email reminder right before the event is scheduled to happen. Check out my Pod below:
These are just a few of the events going on in the next few weeks that I want my family to know about. I’m still adding stuff manually but you also have the option of saving events to your Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, iCal or Outlook calendar.
Another thing I am REALLY excited about using PodKeeperfor is the Parent Teacher Group at my son’s school. I was just elected to be the Activities Director for the 2014-2015 school year and while I’ll be a newbie to the board, I really want to introduce PodKeeper to them.
PodKeeper is actually PERFECT for a PTA. You can add all of your members to a Pod and from there you can view the calendar with upcoming events, discussions, lists, files where you can upload flyers for upcoming events, handouts, handbooks and more. It’s completely private and password protected so only invited members of the Pod can access the information.
PodKeeper can also be accessed anywhere – from your computer, phone or tablet! I am SO excited that PodKeeper has been introduced into my life and is helping me to keep organized. I’m now hooked on getting everyone I know to join PodKeeper so they can get organized too. If it’s been a goal of yours to get your life organized, join PodKeeper today – it’s free!

This looks like a wonderful tool! Goodness know I need as much help as I can get to keep everyone in line!
That sounds like an interesting app. Very handy and useful.
That sounds like an awesome way to keep organized and god only knows I need all the help I can get!
Podanize looks like a great app for organization. I can use more of that in my life.
This sounds like a great app for families with a full schedule. Thank you for sharing.
This is TOO cool! I am the MOST unorganized person on the planet, and I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for the heads up on this one!!!!
What a great tool for families that already don’t share an electronic calendar. Perfect for when school is ending.
Oh wow! this looks like an amazing tool for families! I’m going to have to check it out, my hubby is always saying “but you never told me about this event.” Maybe with this, he wouldn’t be able to use that line anymore, lol!
We’re looking for a good calendar app that auto-syncs between devices. Will look into this one.
What a great app! It looks perfect for families who have a lot of activites to coordinate. I really like that you can add so many members.
What a great app to help me get organized. I know that I need this with my busy schedule. Any type of help I can get being organized is a great help to me.
I like that it is free. Having that stuff all in one place would be great.
I could really use this online organizer. I like that I’d be able to access Podanize from so many different devices.
This is really cool! I would love to use this site when my daughter gets older and has more activities to keep track of. Looks really user friendly.
I think anything that helps busy individuals, especially moms, organize their days is a winner! I think this app is pretty cool-I love how it’s not only limited to one person if multiple people are in the same group 🙂
Good old calendar on the side of the fridge still works for me, but maybe it is time to upgrade. Thanks for sharing, as I have never heard of this before
Love that the organizer can be accessed from so many different points. That makes it even more useful!
Right now we do not have a lot of errands, or appointments, but I can see this working in the future.
Love that you can send reminders. We need something like this. Hubby isn’t on all the email lists for sports and activities and I’m not always perfect at remembering to tell him changes
Great way to stay organized and keep on top of everything we do in life. I love that you can send reminders too!
That’s a neat sounding app, could be very helpful! I hadn’t heard of that before.
We all have those moments when we’re caught in surprise only to find out that the soccer game will be in the next five minutes! I’m sure we can all relate. I’d say that I love organizing things and stuff. But in spite of this, there are still times that some things will escape my attention and suffer the consequences. This is a great tool! I would definitely check this out. 🙂
As our kids get older, our calender is getting filled in like crazy. I could really use an online organizer like this!
Looks like a very useful app. I have never heard of them but it also looks easy to use.
That is a pretty well organized calendar. I like the layout; it seems easy to find what you are looking for..
I’m such a visual person when it comes to schedules. This app is so organized and neat!
What a wonderful tool. I need something like this to stay organized.
I have been thinking that I need an App to keep schedules in order. I will have to take a look at this one!
Podanize sounds like a great way to stay organized! I love the sharing functions – this could really come in handy with collaborative projects (and for the PTA, which you mentioned!)
I so need this to organize my family. We are constantly running around with me thinking I’ve told him something and I didn’t.
I love that it is online. I’m always trying to find a better system because our planners and calendars are not working!
This looks so helpful! We’re always running in a million different directions!
I am a need to see it physically on a list/planner person so I don’t know how it would work online for me. It is neat though.
I love anything that helps me stay more organized. I am all about planning. Currently I use a hard copy planner that I write in, but this looks awesome, too.
One of the best things about modern technology is the fact that it allows us to be more organized and to get things done more efficiently.
These days kids are so busy. It’s nice to have a site you can go and keep all their plans organized.
This sounds very cool! I know it would be great for my sister. She needs some major organization in her life. I am lucky because I use my Outlook calendar. Everyone in our family have Windows phones so I just send them invitations to events that I expect them to attend.
