Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I found Cozi very far from intuitive plus a lot of overlap that was making it hard to function. Like I needed it to remind me so I had to be listed for an event even if I was just the taxi.

So I do use google calenders. I like it because I don't have a smart phone and google will send text message reminders of events so as long as I get it put on there..

I didn't like iCozi, either. I don't like all the emails about everything, and since only dh and I are doing emails and he wasn't interested, it wasn't working for me.

I do love my iPhone. It's my monastery bells. I have all sorts of alarms set for praying times, ordering from my farmer deadlines, appointments, lessons, etc.

For those looking for an affordable plan, Verrizon has a limited time offer smartphone plan for $45 a month. Dh had upgraded his phone and was giving me his old phone, so we didn't have the added cost of the phone itself (unlike more expensive plans, this one does not cover a new phone), but dh called, and through bundling and such with the new plan, we only ended up paying $5 more a month than we were prr for his smsrt ohine and my go phone.

Anyway, I thought I would through it out there so others who have been on the fence like myself could give it a look.

This is the plan I got.

My husband gets 1 gig and never uses it all. Mine is only 250 megs, but I don't think I would use my phone anywhere near as much as dh. It is nice to have the data service for GPS, but I don't intend to surf the web a ton while out.

I can't click on your link on my tablet, but it sounds like that is a good or slightly better deal for a stand alone phone. The nice thing about the plan I got was that it bundled with dh's plan and was ultimately much less than $45, especially since I didn't need a large data plan. Previously, we'd looked at adding service through their friends and family plan which was much more. Dh spent a lot of time on the phone inquiring about the service and exploring options. The people he spoke with were super helpful.
