Do you ever wonder if you’re doing this parenting gig right?

Maybe you feel overloaded with work and guilty because family time suffers? Perhaps you wish you had more time to do fun stuff with your kids? Or you wonder how many years you’ll wait before you get some quality grown-up time with your partner?

In this easy-to-read, light-hearted and practical book, international time management specialist and author Robyn Pearce helps you find ways to stay sane while raising your beloved fridge-raiders, mess-makers and sleep-destroyers. Laugh and learn with her as she shares tips from her crazy years of raising six children, including a special-needs foster son, all arriving in nine years – to the day. And they’ve also been prolific producers! These days her fridge continues to be raided, pantry emptied, ear-drums abused and windows regularly smeared with love-marks when their seventeen offspring regularly come to visit.
Inside you’ll delight in 86 time-saving parenting tips and tricks as well as heart-warming encouragement for confused, overloaded and time-poor parents who wonder if they’re doing this parenting gig right.

  What early readers said:
  'These days parents have so much information and advice to wade through, that to hear from a wise, sensible, funny and practical Mum and Grandma like Robyn is very refreshing and helpful. As you read her book you’ll find yourself nodding, encouraged and empowered to make little and significant changes. She shares her wit and wisdom in a very accessible way, via 86 practical tips that cover most of the day-to-day issues a parent has to deal with. Her thoughts and reflections make absolute sense, are good for families and relationships and can be used in any family, no matter what size or shape.’ Jenny Hale, The Parenting Place.
