Tuesday Tip - Kiddo Email

The kids have been in school for almost seven weeks now. In those weeks, I have found that having a separate email designated for the kids is necessary. When I receive forms (poor trees) to fill out, I list the kids' email address instead of my personal email address. This way anything related to them goes to one place and doesn't get confused with my personal email. I use it for everything kid related like communicating with teachers, other parents, scheduling playdates to name a few. Try it and let me know what you think!

  2. Thanks! I check it daily at noon and about 8pm after I put the kids to bed.

  4. GREAT idea! Do you have the address as their name? Right now I just move kid-related email to a folder but I can only imagine how it piles up as they grow (and multiply)

  5. Valerie,
    I don't use their names in the actual address. I just picked texaskids@xxxx.com. I have folders for each kiddo to keep the emails separate. Yes, it piles up with more than one kid!
