Controlling the chaos

When my book was launched back in May, I received fantastic support from the Blogosphere to help promote it. Amongst the promotion was a competition run by Kleenex Mums. They had 25 copies of the Planning With Kids book to give away. To enter you had to answer the question “How do you control the chaos that comes with having kids?”. The response was amazing, close to 1000 entries and the tips received and they were fantastic.

So fantastic in fact that Kleenex Mums asked me would I curate an e-book with the best tips, adding articles and tips myself. 101 Tips to Control the Chaos is the result. I wish I could take credit for the gorgeous layout and super cute pictures in the e-book, but they were the work of a clever designer!

    It’s gorgeous and a wealth of good advice. I especially like the idea of Plans B and C and differentiating between types of chaos! I’m a bit dismayed though at how many Mums recommend meal planning coz I’m totally rubbish at it. Maybe next year…

    I just downloaded your book and LOVE it! I especially like the reminders about what is important and what is not. I spend so much of my time with my baby daughter doing activities, playing and reading that I have been feeling very overwhelmed with managing the house and everything that has to get done. I am sharing your link with my readers to help them too. You can read about our baby development activities at http://www.babydevelopmentnow.com Thanks!
