Creative with Family.

my 11yr old gave me a pedi!

Living and functioning successfully in a creative home can be challenging.Where mum is feeling creatively inspired, the kids need help with homework and its time for the evening meal to prepare, not to mention washing needs to come in off the line and and and...

That was me. I was a very spontaneous cook and the evening would draw to a quick close and I'd have nothing in mind to cook.We'd end up having late dinner and then everyone was too tired to help with the dishes and then it would roll on to the next day. ugh..

Until I found this book. It jumped out at me at the local library.And truly it has helped me change things around here. Yep a little miracle. And i was ready too.




Planning with kids was written my an Aussie mum Nicole Avery, who has 5 kids. Check out her blog. She shares many pearls of wisdom, that I have found so helpful...

I am now menu planning for the week and this helps with the grocery list. Meals are hassle free as I always have the ingredients and dinner is early so everyone helps clean up.Heaven!

Who would have thought that being organized could be so simple? I'd recommend this one for any creative with family.

I only just found your post - thank you for writing about the book! I had my first pedi only months ago and loved it.
