Inspired by our ever-dwindling food supplies and the ever-expanding bags beneath our eyes, we can’t get enough of anything parenting related.
Because school holidays have us feeling loved! And happy! But down. right. exhausted.
And Jess doesn’t even have kids….
In any case, here we go!

Cozi Family Organiser
Keeping track of who needs to be where, when, can be all too much when your routine is disturbed over the holidays. Cozi can help.
This family organiser app is shared, so you only need one account for the whole family. You can input schedules, shopping lists, reminders and more, which are synced across multiple devices as well as your home computer. This means that everyone old enough to own technology will be kept in the loop. There’s no excuse for your partner to forget the milk now!
Cozi Family Organiser is available here in the App Store or on Android via Google Play.
Powerhouse Program for Raising Teenage Boys
Raising boys is hard. Raising teenage boys is harder.
If you are having trouble connecting with your son, or simply wish he would be more inspired, then the Powerhouse Program will definitely help. The group offers a range of courses that turn boys into well-rounded men. There is also a program for fathers and sons that promotes a stronger connection between parent and child.
One of the best parts about Powerhouse is their generosity. When you sign up to the Powerhouse mailing list, you will receive a bunch of free resources relating to raising boys straight away. They also have a sponsorship program in place, where past participants donate funds toward a financially disadvantaged teen’s participation in the program.
You can read all about their courses as well as a bunch of testimonials through their website.
