I am an old fashioned girl at heart and gravitate towards pen and paper for my calendar, notes and daily reminders. There is a certain sense of accomplishment for me to physically cross something off my list. Since having children, however, I am always looking for ways to simplify my life on the go–and what better way than with these time saving apps.

I love sending and receiving cards in the mail, but when it comes to children’s birthday party invitations, I rely on Paperless Post for it’s online tracking capabilities.
