Book Description
The ultimate guide for parents who dream of having a little less chaos and a lot more time for the good things in life Written by mother of five, Nicole Avery, this book shows harried parents how, with just a bit of planning, family life can become easier to manage, less stressful, and decidedly more fun. "Dream on," you say? "I might as well try to herd cats as to get my kids to follow a lot of arbitrary rules!" And Nicole would agree, which is why Planning with Kids isn't like any other parenting guide out there. It was inspired by Nicole's blog of the same name, which, over the past three years, has garnered a huge audience of likeminded parents who have achieved nothing short of miraculous results following her advice. While other prescriptive guides offer mums and dads cook-cutter solutions to the challenges of raising kids, this handbook focuses on one simple, straightforward idea: by implementing a few simple strategies for how you do things, you'll make more time for you to be you and your kids to be kids. You'll find strategies for streamlining and enhancing everything from the routines of daily life, to family relationships, to budgeting and finances, playtime and much more! Contains a full section on menus and cooking, including recipes, supported online by a planning-with-family meal planner Divided into sections so that readers can dip-in and dip-out for information as they need it as their family expands and grows up!

Create nifty new items for fabulous scrapbooking, pretty packaging, little personal gifts, fun favors, small tokens of appreciation, creative containers, decor, decorations and ornaments! There are bonus projects, printable pattern paper and a second set of blank craft templates too. Make them for yourself, or to sell at craft markets and fundraising events. And use them for school arts and crafts projects too, as many projects are suitable for children. No fancy coordinated craft shop designs or expensive embellishments are needed. Just use what you have on hand. The happy patchwork medley is exactly what makes the projects in Recycling Christmas Cards so charming. Those lavish graphics on greeting cards were created by professional designers and make fabulous crafting material for pennies on the dollar - and in sturdy cardstock to boot. They are just waiting for the new life you can give them. Folks love to browse craft fairs and the likes for those inexpensive "little something" gifts. Many projects are geared towards such little gifts and stocking stuffers. Crafters will love the 45 craft templates in the book, as they have the perfect size for the projects. (Suggestions for recycling Christmas cards are easy to find, but finding templates that are ready to use and scaled to size are not). For convenience the templates are also available as printable downloads. If you have some odd cards left in a box somewhere, you can start your crafting straight away. Then ask friends, family and neighbors for theirs, as you will soon need (and want) a lot of cards. You can even arrange collection boxes at super markets, clubs and such. It is not just about recycling Christmas cards, but about recycling Christmas fun - all year long! So keep every one of your cards and get started for the next Holiday season, because 40 million recycled cards save 13 600 trees! Reuse, remake, repurpose, reduce, recycle and rethink!
