Kelly Plots Plans & Parenthood

Thanks for dropping by Plots, Plans and Parenthood! I’m Kelly, a Gen-X Aussie from sunny Sydney, now living in Essex with my wonderful husband and daughter.

I started this blog at a low point after a stroke. It began as a journal but evolved into a space to connect with other parents, especially those with kids who spend a lot of time in the hospital. If you’re here for my ‘Hospital Bag’ series, welcome—I hope it’s helpful, but I wish you didn’t need it.

But this blog isn’t all about hospital time. I love Pinterest, cleaning, organizing, and cooking classic Aussie recipes. You’ll find budgeting tips, family-friendly meals, and sanity-saving hacks here—just don’t expect ‘How to’ guides, as I’m winging it!

I’m an avid reader, so there are book reviews, and I adore planners, journals and printables. You’ll also find affirmations, natural remedies, and some witchy/holistic content for balance.

You’ll also see some home education stuff popping up. We started home ed in May 2019, and it’s honestly been a fantastic experience for us. Our only regret was waiting so long to change from mainstream to home ed. Look for home ed resources, guest posts, and book reviews.

So, stick around for stories, hacks, recipes, reviews, printables, and more.

Take care of you!
