Plus keep the names of your doctor/dentist/therapist etc as well. If an emergency arises you have access to all of this important information at the tip of your fingers.
How about keeping a record of your license plates? You can even add a photo of each vehicle. How many times have you needed this info and couldn't remember your plate details?
Did you know you can subscribe to your important newsletters via Evernote? Just use your Evernote email address, this helps keep your personal newsletters separate from your business ones. On the same note if you receive an important business email save it into Evernote.

Take pictures of all of your children's art work and save them in Evernote. This way you can look back on them and share them off as a proud parent.
Create lists inside Evernote of all your families activates. This can include chores that need to be done, appointments, sporting events, homework time and more.
