You carry everything. But if a guardian had to step in, would they know your children and household like you do?

As a single parent, you’re the one who knows it all and manages it all. There’s no backup to fill in the gaps.

You’re not just managing your own life — you’re holding everything together for your children. The routines, the responsibilities, the decisions, the details no one else would know they need — until they have to step in.

And in a moment where your children need stability the most, the people around them would be trying to work it all out at the same time.

Which means if something happens, the people stepping in are starting from zero.

The Single Parents Handbook Kit changes that. Everything your children’s guardian needs — documented clearly, ready when it matters.

I had a Will, but it was only part of the story. The information my children would need to keep life going — the house, bills, online accounts and care of our animals — mostly lived in my head.

If something happened to me, my son would be left trying to piece it all together while grieving with his sisters. So I wrote it down.

That is where this handbook — and Handbook of Your Life — began.

Inside Your Single Parents Handbook

The Single Parents Handbook brings your entire life and children’s lives together across 5 tabbed sections:

  • 1. Upon My Passing – Everything the executor of your Will or your children’s new guardian will need — from funeral wishes and financial accounts through to the personal details that only you knew about your own affairs.

  • 2. About the Children – The heart of this Handbook. A dedicated section for each child — covering medical history, school contacts, daily routines, food needs, activities and the small but critical details that only you as their parent truly knows. Up to three children documented, each in their own section.

  • 3. Household Affairs – A complete record of how your household runs — bills, utilities, online accounts, service providers and everything in between. Everything a new guardian needs to keep life as stable as possible for your children.

  • 4. Appendix – A summary of your important scanned, copied or printed documents — stored together in the back of your Handbook for easy access when it matters most.

  • 5. Legal Documents – A dedicated section to house your Will, Advance Health Directive, Enduring Power of Attorney and any other legal documents relevant to your end-of-life planning — all in one place

Testimonials

What are people saying about the Single Parents Handbook Kit?

The handbook is so thorough and absolutely invaluable for the peace of mind it provides me as a single mother, knowing I’ve provided my children the best chance at transitioning into a new life and recovery from their grief, in the event I am unable to be there for them as they grow. Being able to provide any new care givers detailed specifics and knowledge of my children’s routines, life, friends, personality traits, habits, etc, that will help maintain some continuity and familiarity for them whilst recovering, is so important to me. My hopes is that this handbook that I’ve prepared for their carers, helps my children feel in some way, that their mum is still there with them helping them through their days. What you are doing is brilliant and so valuable in helping others.

Julia (Crows Nest, Qld)

It’s something I didn’t want to think about but I’m very glad I have this Handbook to assist me in taking over and running the affairs for both myself and two siblings if my mother were to pass away. Thanks mum.
