Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate progress. But let’s also talk about the hidden barriers still holding women back.

At home, women predominantly carry the mental load of parenting: tracking school admin, remembering extracurricular schedules and organising their kids' social life.

Hey folks I'm Janice the founder of Kiki, an app that simply tells parents what they need to know when they need to know it by trawling through all the emails they receive about their children.

Can you spare 5mins to help me with some research?

At this time of year, school emails seem to peak with us parents needinh to remember something every day, which is frankly mentally exhausting as we still have our own lives and work to organise too, often with increased pressures and impending deadlines as we take leave over the Xmas period.

I'm just feeling so totally overwhelmed at the moment. No idea when I'll going to wrap Xmas presents or get the tree. Have a list party on Sunday and need to visit my dad in hospital on Saturday.

Remember to follow this amazing starter pack of incredible parents!

If you’re new here, shoot me a note—I’d love to tell you all about it!

POV: When you excitedly dash out to pick up a new gadget that you've been wanting for 6 months but then can't bring yourself to get it out of the box as you realise now you not only have to magically make space for it but you also need to learn how to use 😫

Had a bit of fun at the local light up show advertising my new so for overwhelmed parents 😁

The last remaining pumpkin/squash from Halloween that I haven't quite managed to do anything with yet. It's too hot to throw away but not something I would normally cook!

Youngest has decorated it with a leaf to try and give it a new life 🤣

So I'm a finalist for the every woman awards in their Tech Innovator category and the award ceremony is next week. However I've not a clue what to wear!

Note to self baked beans and pilates do NOT go together 🙈

Parenting is just one long game of chaos management, right? 🥴

Yesterday: A chase email to hubby about the school trip deadline.

Today: Ambushed at the classroom door and then chased again by admin on the phone a few hours later.

I think I may have chosen the wrong tools for the job...

It was tasty though and I didn't make too much of a mess!

PART 1: What does a day in my life look like? Have a watch and find out. Here's part one.

I took my mum out for lunch and some shopping therapy yesterday and a lovely lady in one of the shops gave me these. They definitely made me smile. Now looking for the right opportunity to pass them on ☺️

Catching up on some work while my youngest does some climbing. You need to use every opportunity to get stuff done and this way I can spend the evening with my girls (plus the off wave and timed climb while we're here!)

Still building a community of chaos-kickin’ parents, and I love what we’ve created so far. Drop a comment if you want to be added, and feel free to share—would mean the world ❤️

The lie-in saboteur!

Each week me and my hubby alternate kids clubs on a Saturday morning so we can each get a lie in every other week. Unfortunately this guy yowled and scratched at the bedroom door until I let him in and insisted on playing!
