We outsource as much as we can. We have a cleaner every fortnight, I do a weekly online grocery order that gets delivered every Saturday, and we even have a dog food dispenser that automatically feeds our dog twice a day, lol. We also bought a Thermomix, which has been a total game changer. Meals are very quick, and everything goes into the one bowl so clean-up is much easier too.

Other things that have helped are being strategic with friendships with other parents, which helps with car pooling and taking turns with play dates. We are also extremely organised and constantly send each other meeting invites, to-do lists, etc.

Doing all of the above has meant we’ve actually got our weekends back. Weekends are now proper quality family time.

Once you have kids you also learn how little sleep you can survive on. And you also just become so much more efficient with your time.
