Family life can be chaotic — whether you have one child or five. No-one knows this better than Nicole Avery, mum of five, blogger extraordinaire and lover of spreadsheets. Nicole has discovered the secret to taking the stress out of parenting and running a household: a little bit of planning can leave you more time to have fun!
Planning with Kids will show you how to:
- plan a month’s worth of evening meals in less than an hour

- organise your kids and partner to share in the housework without you nagging
Learn how to organise your family chaos and have time left over to actually enjoy being a parent.
