A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Rose, the mum behind Family Time Matters. Like many of you, I struggled to find time for home-cooked meals after my little one arrived. Between nap schedules, work, and a never-ending to-do list, cooking from scratch every night felt impossible.
That’s why I fell in love with batch cooking—it transformed our mealtimes, bringing back the comfort and nourishment I craved while freeing up precious family time.
Now, I’m passionate about helping other mums simplify mealtimes too, so they can focus on making memories with their families instead of worrying about what’s for dinner.
Let’s reclaim your time, together.
INVOLVE THE KIDS
I often hear mums say they simply don’t have time to batch cook because their child needs their attention 24/7. I completely understand and no toy or book can fill the level of attention our little ones crave from us. That’s exactly why I believe batch cooking is a brilliant opportunity to fill both cups at once. By involving your child in the kitchen, you’re not just getting a job done you’re giving them your time and attention which makes them feel part of something meaningful. When they’re helping you measure ingredients, stir the pot, or simply just eating snacks, you’re making precious memories and teaching them invaluable skills. Batch cooking isn’t just about saving time—it’s about sharing moments that matter, nurturing both their bellies and their hearts.
Family Time matters
No matter how hectic life gets, gathering around the table as a family is the one thing that truly grounds me. For me, it’s about so much more than just the food—it’s about sharing smiles, swapping stories, and laughing together about the little moments that made up our day. After my daughter was born, I missed that time so much. That’s why I turned to batch cooking, not just to make mealtimes easier, but to bring back those precious moments around the table. Now, even in the middle of life’s chaos, I welcome this time with open arms—a time to connect, to be present, and to cherish what really matters.
TRANSFORM YOUR KITCHEN
Batch cooking transforms your kitchen from a constant mess to a calm, inviting space, freeing you from the daily grind of cooking from scratch. While most of the hard work is already done, there’s just a small bit of effort needed to add rice, salad, or veggies to complete your meal. It’s a simple step that lets you savor the joy of home-cooked meals—without sacrificing time or sanity.
ADVENTURE DAYS
Adventure days—these are the days I love the most. You simply decide on dinner, pop it in the slow cooker, and off you go! With dinner happily waiting for you at home, you can spend the whole day exploring, laughing, and making memories together. When you all come home tired and hungry, there’s no panic or stress—just the warm comfort of a homemade meal, ready to serve. It’s like a little gift to yourself at the end of a day well spent.
