She was also starting to worry about how she could give her young children a healthier range of foods on a very limited budget.
An additional problem was finding things which the children would actually choose when she wasn’t around to supervise.
She discussed this with friends and found her concerns were widely shared, so she decided to put what she found into this book so that other people, especially women with a job and a young family, could benefit from her tips.
Georgina tried many things over the last couple of years and believes that almost everyone will find value in her suggestions in this book, whatever their situation.
