Get Organized With Qlubb.com And Enter To Win A Stylish, Eco Friendly citizenpip Lunch Kit!

If you’re not familiar with www.qlubb.com, you definitely should be.  Qlubb was designed by a  mom who was tired of miscommunication and lack of organization when it came to her children’s activities. She was definitely not alone because Qlubb launched it’s free service last September and already has 20,000 users!

Qlubb allows you to set up a private secure website for any group be it book club, play groups, sports, church, etc. Qlubb’s services are free of charge!   It takes about 10 seconds to create a group.  Not a member of a group?  Don’t fret!  I’ve read about people that use Qlubb for personal time management needs as well. Qlubb is a great way to manage your household and create a family calendar.

I have used Yahoo Groups in the past but Qlubb takes it much further.  Your Qlubb group has it’s own:

• Private secure website
• Calendar to organize events
• Automatic event/task reminders
• Shared sign up sheets
• Group signups and RSVPs
• File/photo sharing and more!

Once you’ve set up your group website, give the name to the other members who then just need to input their email and use the shared group password.  That’s it!  No need for everyone to individually go through a sign up process. People that use Qlubb for personal time management seem to rave about the calendar feature and the ability to email themselves reminders.  I certainly need the latter which is why I signed up.  I’m just getting started and am using it as a family calendar.  Now La Jolla Dad won’t be asking “when is xyz?” and ” what is going on today?” because he can log onto Qlubb from any computer to see the calendar and he can input his own schedule.  I can write him notes and send email reminders.

I like that once you log onto Qlubb, everything you need is right there on the home page as seen below. If you log on to Qlubb’s demo, they have created a sample group called “Smith”. I took a screen shot so you can see that everything you need is right there. They’ve made this very user friendly.

If you were to scroll down further on the demo Smith group site (below this screen shot), you’d also see space for members to leave comments, latest activities and updates to the group, and a space for useful recommendations that on this group page functions a little bit like a classifieds section of the newspaper. Go to the demo and check it out.

Qlubb is the perfect solution for busy parents. I can see how you’d eliminate a lot of back and forth phone calls and emails trying to coordinate events or even a simple playgroup. Think of all the time you’ll save!  Imagine cutting out all those annoying logistics of what day works for this and that and who’s bringing what.  You can relax, enjoy your group more and have access to your group website anywhere that you have internet access. And it’s all for free!

Also, think about all the post it notes, memos and other paper that you won’t have a need for if you use Qlubb.  La Jolla Mom is a big fan of going green!
