Well this is a super fun interview, with Nic chatting to her lovely husband Phil! 

To end season 1 of this family life, Nic wanted to provide a male perspective on family life, from someone she knew to be involved and actively contributing to organising and planning for their family. She didn’t have to look far as over the years she and Phil have worked hard to ensure they work together as a team to keep family life organised and harmonious as possible.

Nic learnt a little more about herself and Phil as he talked, as some of his answers were a little surprising!

Phil shares his side of things on how their family works and some highlights of the wisdom you will pick up:
Tips on getting more hands on as a dad
Managing weekend sporting activities with multiple kids
Why he now enjoys (for short spells) the opportunity to parent on his own when Nic travels for work
Making time to spend on activities outside the homeBlog posts mentioned in the episode:
Book Review – Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!: Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your Mind
Role Reversal Experience – Mr Infrastructure

Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life gives everyday parents a chance to share their hard-fought wisdom. These aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. Instead, they’re everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. Nic interviews parents who work full-time, mums on maternity leave, those whose children have special needs and parents with kids of all ages, and uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life puts the spotlight on everyday parents and allows them the opportunity to share the wisdom they have gathered throughout their years of parenting. They aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. They are everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. They share what has worked and what hasn't, what they love about their family and the challenges they face. Nic interviews parents from a broad spectrum of family set ups - full-time working parents, single parents, parents home full time, parents of kids with special needs and everything else in between! Through her conversations, Nic uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

This week Nic chats with her husband Phil and learns a little more about their family life in the process!
