Since purchasing my MacBook Pro late last year, I became addicted to the convenience and functionality of Google Docs. Turns out, I'm not the only one. - We use it to plan menus across multiple parts of the family for camping trips and vacations. It allows everyone to put in when they will be in town (so we have head count) make a plan for what we are eating and make grocery lists all in one place. -Jennifer

My wife and I use Google Docs for all our to-dos leading up to (next month!) our first baby. We also kept an ongoing list of baby names, for which we both had veto power to nix and move to the "reject" list. We've also started including more general info to use post-birth, excluding sensitive information, of course. Recently, I learned how to add bookmarks to the top of the document, and we created a table of contents with linked headings covering everything from "books, parenting" to "restaurants, child-friendly". This makes it easy to store everything in one file.
