I’m a little bit excited to share this—my very first published article! 🥹

I wrote about the real reason I created Kalby: the daily “What’s for dinner?” decision, fussy eaters, a fridge full of food but no idea what to make—and the emergency cheese sandwich when a new dinner does not go according to plan 😂

This is very much my story, but I have a feeling plenty of other parents will relate to it too.

I’d love you to have a read—and please tell me I’m not the only one who has stared into a full fridge with absolutely no idea what to cook!

Some nights I have the energy to cook something lovely from scratch.

Other nights, if everyone is fed and I haven’t had to make three different dinners, I’m calling it a win. 😂

Dinner doesn’t need to be impressive.

It just needs to work for your family tonight.

That’s one of the things I want Kalby to help with.

Not Pinterest-perfect dinners. Not complicated recipes with 17 ingredients you don’t have.

Just give me something I can actually make, with the time I’ve got, that my family might actually eat. 😂

Because tomorrow we’ll have to answer “what’s for dinner?” all over again.

I used to think getting healthier meant changing everything at once.

Eat perfectly. Exercise every day. Drink more water. Sleep 8 hours. Never have w**e. Be calm. 😂

Basically become a completely different person by Monday.

No wonder it felt hard.

One of the biggest things I’ve learnt is that the small things you can actually keep doing matter far more than the perfect plan you last four days on.

Pick one thing.
Make it a little easier.
Then keep going.

You don’t have to overhaul your whole life this week. ❤️

There was a time when I could barely get out of bed.

A time when no matter how “healthy” I thought I was eating, I was exhausted and the weight just kept piling on.

Getting healthier wasn’t one big fix for me. It took years of learning, trying things, getting some of it wrong, starting again and slowly figuring out what actually worked for me.

Healing isn’t linear. And what works for one person won’t necessarily work for the next.

That’s a big part of why I became a Health & Wellness Coach.

I’ve been the person who doesn’t know where to start. I’ve spent years learning, training and doing a lot of that heavy lifting — so when I work with someone now, they don’t have to try to work it all out on their own.

If you’re struggling with your health, your energy, your food or movement, or you just know you don’t feel like yourself at the moment, you don’t need to have all the answers before asking for help.

You can book a free 15-minute intro call with me. We’ll have a chat about where you’re at, what you’d like to change and whether I’m the right person to help. ❤️

My baby girl is almost 5½ and is definitely starting to exercise her right to push boundaries. 😂❤️

She has also been one of my greatest teachers.

She’s taught me patience — although that one is very much still a work in progress. 😂

She’s taught me acceptance, to choose my battles, to apologise when I get it wrong and that I can’t control everything just because I think I know best.

And she’s made me look at parts of myself that I probably wouldn’t have looked at otherwise.

I always thought being her mum meant I would be the one teaching her.

Turns out she’s teaching me just as much.

Some lessons are beautiful.

Some come with a filthy look and a very strong opinion from a five-year-old. 😂

But I wouldn’t change her strong little personality for anything. ❤️

One of the things I’ve learnt from building Kalby is that simple is actually quite hard to create. 😂

I could keep adding features and making it do more and more, but I keep coming back to the reason I started it:

What’s for dinner?

Kalby is there to make that one everyday decision easier.

Tell it what you’ve got, what you fancy, who you’re feeding and how much time you have — or, when your brain has completely clocked off for the day, ask Kalby to choose the dinner ideas for you.

It gives you 3 options, you pick the one you fancy, and go from there.

Simple. That’s the point. ❤️

I still want to make it even better and easier to use, so I genuinely appreciate any and all feedback — good or bad!

I built this because I needed it.

And I really hope you find it helpful too. ❤️

This is why I keep striving to be better and to do better. ❤️

These two are my motivation.

I definitely don’t get it right all the time. I get stressed, I lose my patience and there are still plenty of days when I’m counting down the hours until bedtime. 😂

But I want to be healthier. I want to be happier. I want to be more present. And I want to create a life where I have the freedom to actually be there for them.

I think becoming a mum has made me look at myself more than anything else ever has.

There are things I want to change, things I’m still working on and plenty I’m still figuring out.

I don’t need to be a perfect mum.

I just want to keep trying to be a better version of me — for myself and for these two little munchkins. ❤️

How many more times will these little hands reach for mine?

It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. ❤️

I’ve been stressed, with so much going around in my head, and I know there have been days when I’ve found myself counting down the hours until the kids go to bed.

Then I look at this photo and think… one day, he won’t reach for my hand quite so often. He’ll get bigger, more independent, and these little moments will change.

I can’t stop time, but I do want to be more present for the time we have now.

That’s a big part of why I’m working so hard to build something of my own. I want work that gives me more freedom to be there for my kids, especially when they need me the most.

I won’t get it right every day. Some days I’ll still be absolutely hanging out for bedtime. 😂

But I also don’t want to be so busy trying to build a better future for us that I miss the little moments happening right in front of me. ❤️

Okay, I’ve shown you what Kalby does… but I haven’t actually told you how to try it. 😂

You can try Kalby for free and create 3 full recipes before you need to decide whether it’s for you.

If you love it and want to keep using it, I’m offering a Founding Membership for $29/year for the first 50 members.

There’s no pressure to join straight away — try it first, have a play and see if it actually makes your life easier.

I’d also love your feedback (good or bad) as it helps me make Kalby even better for you.
