We Love AboutOne

Why Families Love AboutOne

AboutOne is so versatile and easy to use that it’s the perfect solution for any family!

Here are some reasons that real families love AboutOne, in their own words:

What Busy Moms Say

Melissa V.
“But if you had this service it will allow to record all the important events during the year and when you sit down to write that Christmas letter, you just pull out those reports and Viola, you are done. Imagine how much easier that Christmas letter will be now.”
Emily S.
“I am the world’s worst scrapbooker, so any program that does it for me in the course of my other dealings is amazing. I’m thinking this might actually motivate me to do a Christmas letter this year, too, since I’ll have to put next to no effort into it.”
Sheri
“We have all tried to do this type of activity with post-it notes, filing cabinets and excel spreadsheets. Finally, all the right information, in the right place, right when you need it. You never realize how valuable that is until something happens and you need that information quickly.”

What New Moms Say

Andy
“AboutOne helps me keep our family’s important information organized and easily accessible. As a new mom, I’m glad to have a place where I can keep up with all of my baby son’s records and milestones. The site is like an electronic filing cabinet that I’ll never lose!”
Kristine
“I love how AboutOne allows you to create something like a real-time family tree. When I had my first son, I was given a calendar on which to mark his milestones and events, but I never kept it updated beyond the first few months. Now, I’m not even sure where it is! AboutOne seems like the modern version of the baby calendar, but expanding it to cover a lifetime and additional family members! It’s really fun to use, keeps me feeling organized, and is a great way to share with family and friends. I was able to document memorable birth stories and statistics, ensuring that this information will be around to share with my boys as they grow older. Beyond children, it’s also a great spot for me to document my husband’s work achievements and our important school, home, and other personal records. And for such a low cost? I’m glad I signed up!”
Katie
“As a new mom working a full-time job, AboutOne allows me to stay organized so quickly and easily without having to give up family time. Who would have thought being organized could be so much fun!”

What Working Moms Say

Lisa
“What a time saver (and stress reducer) this has been. I am amazed at how quickly I have brought our records up to date. I am just so excited about this service. I can’t imagine every parent wouldn’t want to have all their vital information at their fingertips (literally). I am looking forward to all the new features so I can organize the rest of my life!”
Susan
“About One is a great tool for busy moms who want to stay organized but don’t want to be a slave to a filing cabinet. I especially like the Education tools because they give me a quick reference to each of my children’s important school records. I save teacher’s notes, recommendations and report cards.”
Trina
“I can’t even count the amount of photos I have taken of my children on my phone that are just sitting there taking up space. Now I can upload them from my phone onto my AboutOne account, then use them in a family Newsletter or even use them to make a hardcover memory book…great for Christmas Gifts!”

What Busy Dads Say

Jim
“AboutOne helps us organize our family’s information in one accessible location. It is a huge comfort to know we can access all our family’s medical information when needed. And with the pictures we have added, it is like an online family scrapbook which will allow us to remember all our special moments. AboutOne is a wonderful resource for every family.”
David
“This is a wonderful life changer – AboutOne is an organizer for those that want to focus on living instead of organizing.”
Jeff
“It took me about 5 seconds to figure out how cool this idea was because it makes total sense and is helpful. Looking forward to getting this part of my world organized, as it’s a total mess at the moment. “

What Military Families Say

CPT Erik J.
“Aboutone.com is just a really great site that does it right. I’m especially impressed that they have a prior service soldier working for them! She’s really great! Keep up the good work!”
Crystal S.
“Being on the go and always moving this site is great for military families like myself! I don’t have to worry about losing important information, or appointments, also a great place to record those wonderful family memories. AboutOne.com keeps it all organized and simple, and in my life…I need simple!”
Krystel
“Moving with the military constantly can make things hectic and information can get misplaced a lot. Using AboutOne makes things easier by allowing me to have one click access to important information and documents that I might not have access to right away when arriving at my new home.”

What Caregivers Say

Stephanie – RSN
“I recently had an experience within my family that was terrifying. My elderly mom’s heart stopped, and she was brought to the hospital. We needed to get all her medical records together quickly. If we’d had copies of everything electronically, like AboutOne can do, I would just have had to have pressed a few buttons to get a list of her current medications, recent medical procedures, and a complete health history. I felt like instead of being at her bedside holding her hand, I was worried about getting the information together that could potentially save her life. After this scare, I looked all over for something that could help keep my family organized– and AboutOne is that product.”
Ann – Nurse Practitioner
“I would tell my patients how easy it is and how important it is to be able to gather this information and archive it so it’s always available to them whenever and wherever they are. (With AboutOne) it’s very easy to do.”
Randi
“I love the caregiver sheets – I’m always scrambling to write down any pertinent information before leaving my boys with any sitter (grandma or otherwise) and now I can just print it from AboutOne. I always like to be prepare for the “what ifs” in life and I want those caring for my sons to have all the information they would need in the “in case” scenarios.”

What Educators Say

Lori – High School Guidance Counselor
“AboutOne is a highly useful tool for students going through the college application process, not only because it provides a central, secure place to store all the necessary information, but also because it guides students through the application process by reminding them about what information they need to collect and store. I’m very excited to recommend it to the students at my school.”
Kellie – Preschool Teacher
“I use AboutOne to record and share pictures and details about my students’ school days with their parents. This is something I’ve always done; it’s just so much easier with AboutOne. I just take a photo, load it to AboutOne, then send home the newsletter. It is fast and easy to do and my parents love it!”
Jenny – Elementary School Teacher
“I’m an elementary school teacher and am using AboutOne to keep track of the continuing education classes that I need to take in order to maintain my teaching license. Before I began using AboutOne, I didn’t have a system to track these records, and I was going crazy looking for them when I needed to submit them to the state of Wisconsin.”

What DIYers Say

Janet C.
“My husband and I just bought a house and we are crazy busy with all the improvements we’re making to it. I love that AboutOne helps us easily record and track all the costs associated with these improvements so we’ll have that information when it comes time to sell. Plus, it’s so much fun to share our progress with friends and family through the monthly newsletter!”
Janet B.
“We are using AboutOne to keep track of our home improvement projects so we’ll have that information when it’s time to sell our house. I really love AboutOne’s newsletter feature. Our daughter uses it to keep us up to date on all our grandchildren’s goings-on.”
Bill – CPA
“I use AboutOne to track my home improvements, and I recommend it to all my clients who have investment properties. It helps them prove their investment at tax time. When they sell their properties, the capital gains report automatically provides the information they need for the IRS.”

What Students Say

Madison – College Student
“I’m a junior in college, and I’m using AboutOne to keep track of all the info I need to apply for internships and to graduate school. I only wish I’d had AboutOne when I applied to college, then I would have had all the information I needed on hand – extracurricular activities, volunteer activities, awards, leadership positions, honors and AP courses, and all my standardized test scores – when it came to completing my college and scholarship applications.”
Jessie – College Student
“I love that I can add information with either a computer or my iPhone and that I can use a scanner to upload important papers or my kids’ artwork. This is a website that would help not only moms and dads, but college students and individuals that are living on their own for the first time!”
Angela – College Student
“I like using AboutOne because I am a single mom working and going to school at the same time. I am so busy and very quickly things pile up, so having AboutOne to keep me organized is great!”

What Grandparents Say

Marilyn – Grandmother & World Traveler
“I use AboutOne’s Health Aspect to record my medical information, including my health conditions, doctors, medications, insurance information, and emergency contacts. It gives me peace of mind to know that if something happens to me, my daughters (who live in other states) will have access to all the information they need to help me. Also, I use AboutOne as a photo journal to record all my travels around the world. I love it because I can easily load a picture, no matter where I am, and then add the backstory later on when I have time to sit down at my computer. The newsletter is a fast and easy way for me to share my adventures with my friends and family.”
Heather and William – Grandparents living in the UK
“AboutOne’s family newsletter shows us the milestones in the lives of our grandchildren when we can’t be with them. I use the possessions section to keep track of all maintenance and improvement projects on our homes so we’ll have this information when we sell.”
Theo & Eli – Grandparents living in Austria
“Our children send us their AboutOne newsletter with news about all the members of the family. It’s like reading a diary, which makes us feel informed when we live so far apart”

What the Experts Say

Cathi – Professional Photo Organizer
“As a personal photo organizer, I use AboutOne to help my clients capture their photos and memories. In today’s fast paced world, we are all snapping photos at a record pace but skipping the most important part, making an album and telling a story. AboutOne makes that task simple and easy. I also use AboutOne for my own family and love the ease of storing important information in one place. Add great customer service and a company that values people and I don’t hesitate to recommend AboutOne to my family and friends as well.”
Julie – Professional Eco-Organizer
“One product that I’m really excited about is the family management system from AboutOne. Now it doesn’t just have to be for families. Because of all the categories, as a single woman, it’s good for me too. If you’re looking to get your family organized in the new year, I encourage you to check this out!”
Meagan Francis – Author of “The Happiest Mom”
“AboutOne is a service that safely and securely stores all your family’s vital information, records, and mementos (Blood types? Social security numbers? Health info? Passwords? Home maintenance records? Family photos? That adorable thing your child said that you’ll forget if you don’t write it down? Check!) in one place that you can access from anywhere–on the road, at work, or at home. And here’s the really genius part – AboutOne will then quickly and automatically pull that information together to help you fill out important documents, like tax forms, insurance claims, and caregiver medical releases or create fun projects, like family newsletters or scrapbooks.”
