How I'm using Evernote to help plan for the baby

If you haven't checked out Evernote (videos), then I highly recommend that you do :) I've have been a casual user for a couple of years now, just keeping ideas noted down and some images just like I would in a regular notebook but it's super handy to have them with me everywhere I go in digital format, recipes I find online, and notes on scrapbook page ideas (and photos to go with it) while it is still fresh in my mind. I have even taken some of my paper notebooks with my doodles in them and have them backed up to Evernote! I have the set list from Hanson's Birmingham concert back in November 2011 nicely noted down in here while I was at the concert as I didn't want to forget, a list of our Disney DVD collection, and Christmas gift ideas which I add to each year when inspiration strikes. It's funny how much I've come to love this handy little tool!



 

But the one thing that has made me a heavy user of late is preparing for the baby...

My notes include:
Images of baby clothes (newborn, 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 & 9-12) [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][I started a "Baby Clothes" notebook specifically!]
Baby clothes wish list clipped from the web/images snapped from catalogues
Birth Plan
Weight gain
Budget advice clipped from Bounty website
Notes to take to my next midwife appointment so I don't forget what to mention
Images of 12 & 20 week scans
"Thank you" so I can remember as we go along who we get gifts from so we can write thank you notes
My Milestones (When felt baby move, bump measurements)
Copy of my MATB1 before I sent it off to my employer
My Maternity notes... Yes, I sat and "page captured" all the pages from my Maternity Notes book (and best of all it's now searchable!), my notes are with me EVERYWHERE in my pocket... Much relief!
Baby scrapbook notes, typing out information to include into my scrapbook before I write them down onto the journal cards.
Copies of hospital letters (also page captured and searchable)
"Baby essentials" clipped from Babycentre/what baby needs, taken from various birth group ladies
"Hospital bag" noted from websites/birth group ladies
Money notes (SMP/Maternity allowance information, Links to benefits/cost of childcare)
Checklist of what we still need to buy baby



I hope my list inspires you to give it a try :)[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
