| With the colder, and often wet weather, upon us it can be hard drying clothes. Try using a clothes airer and placing it under your air-conditioning vents or next to the heater to save having to use the dryer. More Tips: Here |

| Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.

As soon as I heard about your companion I knew I had to have it ..... Just knowing that I can record every little aspect of our day to day lives in one spot (where it cant get lost) and it will all be there to refer to it when I need it ....
Sally, Qld
Until now I was left in the realm of general organization books ... but now there is something specific to my needs ... Well Done.

Hi Catherine & Gillian,
I just wanted to thank you for your brilliant idea of The Busy Mothers Companion. I am a stay at home mum with 3 kiddies under a 3 and a very busy online business. I really needed some help! My days were chaotic and stressful. I bought the busy mums companion and started working on my day time rosters, meal planners and weekly rosters. I already feel less stressed. The kids are also happier as my days are now predicable for them and I am able to spend quality time with them everyday (built into my schedule).
I thought it was such a great idea that I bought one for my sister as well.
Thanks again and I wish you every success
Kind regards

Thankyou I have received my copy of the busy mothers companion. After having my second child and running a small business, getting organised was a main priority and this manual has helped relieve some of that pressure, knowing all the information I need is now at my finger tips. As I read through the manual I have gathered all the information that I had filed in all different location now they are easy and accessible for when I need it. This manual covers everything possible for running my home, business and life more efficiently. Thanks again Renae I must say I love my companion it''s making life much easier and I feel I have some control over our hectic schedules. Keep up the good work. Natasha
I just bought my copy of the Busy Mother''''s companion and I love it already. I feel more organised just looking at it. I bought the new download version and it''''s great - I can print as I need and it is instant (love that no waiting!) Thanks for having such a great tool - I look forward to using it. KellyI love the family companion, Iam now organised again, just like I was before my baby came along. We love the whole companion, we use every part of it, even my husband uses it to look up information I have in there, its fantasticS Tatum, Victoria
Just knowing that I can record every little aspect of our day to day lives, in the one spot (wher it can''''''''t get lost) and it will all be there to refer to when I need it and help our family unit run so much more smoothly and organised, will be such an enormous help to our family and finally let me get back on top of things. Sally, QLD
Thanks so much. I just spent the last half hour checking out the Companion. I love it! It''''''''s just the kind of thing I''''''''ve been looking for. I head back to full-time teaching in three weeks after being off on maternity leave for 7 months with bub no. 2 and I am just a little worried about getting back into the swing of things and am imagining a few hectic days ahead. I am a bit of an organiser nut and am always using lists so the folder is going to be the perfect way for me to plan my days. I love how it is flexible so that I can use the pages that suit our family and add plastic pockets to hold reciepts, vouchers etc.

I thought I was busy as a single mum two girls university and work. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Love the site.
Shelley, Qld what a great site!!!!!! I was just passing through and couldn''''''''t move on because the content is fabulous.

i think what you have put together is amazing i saw the companion at tresillian penrith and thought it was great it has everything in it you cant forget a thing especially when it comes to important information on family members my daughter needs a set routine if she doesnt she is really cranky making it impossible for others to mind her in case of an emergency as my husband has cardiomyopathy his heart is the size of a football but hopefully that wont happen i found that the companion holds all type of information useful for babysitters and family members so if an emergency happends they have it all on hand and know what my daughter needs and what time where they can contact me or doctors and the list goes on and on you have made things so simple congradulations keep up the great work ....

The Busy Mother’s Companion is a fantastic guide for any mother (or father) trying to achieve order in the chaos of everyday family life. The chart and list formats are great – everything from budget planners to pantry/shopping lists and birthday gift records. All the hard work has been done, I only needed to enter my own specific information. I now know that all the important information I need is in one spot – insurance policy details, important phone numbers and medical history information for the kids. The folder format means that I can even add additional pages/lists of my own. The time-saving tips are very useful and to the point. There is even a spot for me to record my own feel-good treats and wish lists –all those books I want to read and movies that I want to see when I finally get the chance.
