It's just easier than clipping and filing and printing. Its also much cheaper. What about those offline days ? Well then I go right back to my sticky notes. Oh reliable little bits of paper.

Part I - Setting Up The Household Management Tab

A pace to remember our tasks
The Main Staple of this Task is adding the To-Do Gadget  and Setting up a list for Monthly / Weekly and Daily Tasks as well as a Task list for incidental tasks. I add this gadget 4 times so that I can set each notepad to a specific page.


Part II - The Finances Tab

Here we use 2 widgets , one to track finances and one to give us frugal tips.
I use  The Expense Manager Gadget

and

The Freakishly Frugal Tips Gadget

Part III - The Family Planning Tab

I Use the Calendar Gadget
and
Pregnancy Tracking Gadget

Part IV - Meal Planning

I use My Notes to jot down meal plans and grocery Lists

I have a few other tabs as well one full of reminders and calendars and one that just links me to my favorite places.
