Both parents are employed in 71.4% of families.
Just 10 years ago, that was only 54.2%.
Cost of living is rising, forcing more parents to work and increase their hours.
But if both parents are working, how can you get off the mouse wheel and be more present?
Appointments. School runs and daycare. Birthday parties. Kid’s sport. More birthday parties. Playdates. Music lessons. Parent-teacher meetings (why do these make us feel so nervous?). School events. Even more birthday parties again this weekend.
And then there’s the endless to-do lists.
Pack lunches. Sign and return the forms. Buy presents for the birthday parties. Homework help. Book Week costumes. Clean the house. Make dinner. Tidy the pantry that’s impossible to see what’s missing. Sort out the random junk that keeps piling up. Take the pets to the vet.
It’s tough to keep up as a parent these days. There are so many things to remember, so many events to attend, so much to get done.
So how do you remember everything?
If you’re hoping you remember everything, humans forget 70% of what they’ve learned within 24 hours.
What about appointments? How many times have you missed one?
Or a last-minute dash to Kmart for forgotten a birthday present at 8:30am for a 9:15am party?
Bits of paper stuck to the fridge don’t work. They get lost on the fridge and go unnoticed. Or covered up with more “art” drawings.
It’s no wonder parents are feeling more stressed than ever.
It’s a constant juggle. The parent juggle. Overwhelming and chaotic.
You're not alone. Every parent dreams of being that organised, in-control parent who seems to have it all together.
The one who manages busy family life well and finds time to enjoy quality moments with the children.
But how can you become that parent when you're drowning?
You need something to calm this chaos. Where every person and important date is accounted for.
But something that won’t just go unnoticed, fading into the background and overlooked.
Something that will mean you never get another phone call asking if you’ve nearly at the appointment that you’ve actually totally forgotten about and are nowhere near close by.
As working parents ourselves, we understand the parent juggle. We knew there had to be a better way.
But nothing we could find seemed to work the way we needed it to. So, we made our own personalised acrylic wall planner that’s reusable month after month. Designed by parents for parents.
Every family member is on here. Even pets if you want (especially if their social life is busier than yours).
It includes 6 weeks of space. Everyone in the family and every day has a space.
But it’s more than that. It is personalised to your family with your family photo. Any photo you want can become a stunning background (or select from our curated library).
Boring black and white calendars go unnoticed and ignored.
But your wall planner won’t go unnoticed (or be unsightly) when you get to see your family’s smiling faces every time you look at it.
Imagine starting each day feeling calm and in control, rather than overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list.
Imagine your mind not racing at night when you’re trying to fall asleep because you’re trying to figure out what you’ve forgotten to do today.
Every family member can see what is happening.
Husbands won’t be able to say “you never told me we were going out” any more.
It’s your secret weapon in managing the chaos and overwhelm of family life.
You're not just organising, you're reclaiming your time.
- Durable: made of scratch resistant acrylic, with the personalised design printed on the rear side. This means the front can be written on and wiped off without ever worrying about damaging the print.
- Personalisation: All parts of the planner can be personalised, including the family name, names of each individual family members, the background and the “what’s up next” section.
- Size: The sizing varies by the number of people the wall planner includes. The smallest version, which has room for 2 people, is 800mm wide by 340mm high. The largest version accommodates 8 people and is 800mm wide by 935mm high. The 4 person planner (submitted to SHE-com) is 800mm by 545mm.
- Hassle-free installation: Each planner comes with large 3M Velcro adhesive strips, which allows it to be mounted to any wall without the need to drill holes. Simply peel off the backing sheets, line up the tabs and it’ll be on the wall in next to no time
- Bonus chalk pen: It also comes with a black chalk pen, which easily wipes off with a damp cloth but won’t smudge or rub off when dry.
- Made right here in Australia
