Daily communication reports

I have a white board in the hallway where I write what each child is running out of (diapers, wipes, clean clothes), one sentence which describes each child's naps or lack of, meals and bowel movements. I also run a daily private photo blog which I update through a blogspot app on my phone, requires almost no effort, all the parents have access to it and some relatives from far away with permission, huge plus for everyone.

I did in the beginning long notes about everything. after about 6months it became just a note book going back and forth where i only noted what each child ate, when they slept and any exciting or unusual things. It just takes too much time. I do think it is worthwhile when a new child starts to build a relationship with the family and let them feel they know what is going on on a daily basis. But it is really time consuming.
