Episode 43: Nicole Avery from Planning with Kids on meal planning, blogging and the wonders of single tasking

3/5/2016

2 Comments

 

​Nicole Avery is one of those people who has a whole lot on her plate, but balances it all with finesse. She is a professional blogger at Planning with Kids, an author, speaker and marathon runner - on top of being a mum to five kids aged seven to 17. 

Her blog is a goldmine of tips, advice and lessons on managing family life, from meal planning to ways to fit in me-time, all with Nic's trademark practical and approachable style. We chat about her path to professional blogging, just how she manages to cook for and feed seven people, and the steep learning curves of parenting.

For our twentieth episode, we chat to freelance journalist, writer, communications strategist and mum of one (and one on the way very soon!) Julia May. 

As usual, we completely ditch the planned questions and go on tangents about freelancing, supermarkets and the benefits of bulk undies. Tess shares her mind-blowing meal planning system, we lament the never-ending washing pile and end with some musical butt-clenching, as you do.

You can also listen on iTunes.
