I Am Modern's Gift Guru Recommends momAgenda
Karate, piano, soccer—oh my! Now that school is back in session, so is the endless amount of activities to keep coordinated. Not only am I constantly running the kids from here to there, I am responsible for keeping track of which day to send my child to school in spirit wear, which day the fundraiser money is due and a host of other bits and pieces. And, I’m a working mom to boot!
One of the best ways that I’ve found to keep organized is using a personal agenda by momAgenda.
