01The family year

The family year, in one place

Term dates, INSET days, bank holidays, birthdays and renewals on the calendar the family already uses. The calendar and the renewals register are part of Home Foundations.

An example

Home, the family year

The whole year, held in one place

The dates a household runs on, gathered from school letters, the address book and the renewals register, so none of them arrives as a surprise.

Each mark sits in the family's shared calendar too, with a reminder set early enough to act on it. Easter's bank holidays fall in March or April.

02Renewals

Every due date, one list

What renews, when, and where its papers live, with a reminder a month ahead. The renewals register is part of Home Foundations.

Its price, under On site

An example

What renews, when, and where its papers live

One table for everything that comes round each year.

A reminder is set a month before each one, so there is time to compare before anything renews on its own.

03A room

A sitting room, through a day

One sitting room in the morning, the afternoon and by lamplight. Calm is also light and a lamp. Choose the hour.

A room is booked as on-site days, each up to 5 hours on site.

Up to 5 hours on site, booked on its own, for a room or a move, in person across Bath, Bristol and the surrounding area.

Its price, under On site

06A celebration

What a Celebration Plan hands you

A shortlist to book from, and a run sheet for whoever runs the day. Laura plans it with you; on the day, whoever you book runs it.

Its prices, under A celebration

An example

Home, a celebration planned

A shortlist to book from

Three venues and three kinds of supplier, each with what to ask. Tick each one once you have booked it.

Venues

  • A barn with its own garden

    Room for everyone, and outside space if the day is fine.

    • Is the date free, and how long will they hold it?
    • What comes with it: tables, chairs, linen?
  • A function room in a town hotel

    Easy for guests who want to stay over.

    • What is the latest finish, and is there a noise limit?
    • Is there step-free access throughout?
  • A village hall with a kitchen

    Simple, and yours for the whole day.

    • Who opens up and locks up?
    • Can a food supplier use the kitchen?

Suppliers

  • Food and drink

    Two to compare, both used to this size of party.

    • Can they cover every dietary need on the guest list?
    • Do they bring people to serve and clear?
  • A photographer

    For the moments you will want to keep.

    • How many hours, and when do the photos arrive?
    • Would a list of must-have shots help?
  • Music

    A band or a playlist, to suit the room.

    • How much space and power do they need?
    • Can they play quietly through the meal?

You book and pay each one direct. Laura plans the celebration and is not there on the day, so whoever runs it is someone you book too.

A run sheet for whoever runs the day

Every moment of the day, its time and who looks after it, on one page.

On the back page

  • Each supplier's contact, and who to call first if something runs late.
  • Where the spare keys, the first aid box and the fuse board are.

01What changes

Before: a family hallway by the front door, shoes across the tiles, bags, coats on the newel post and post on the console.After: the same hallway, coats on peg hooks, shoes paired in baskets and a key dish on the cleared console.
Drag the string, or tap a side.

The same hallway, calm.

A family hallway on a school morning on one side; on the other, the same hallway once everything has its place.

02On site

Set up once, or a day at a time.

Home Foundations sets up the family's calendar, its renewals and its paperwork, with one on-site day. An on-site day, up to 5 hours on site, is also booked on its own, for a room, a move or a renovation; a renovation or a move is booked as on-site days, each on its own.

The on-site day is in person across Bath, Bristol and the surrounding area, with no travel charge added: travel, parking and any clean air zone charge are inside the price.

If you book as a consumer, you can change your mind up to 14 days after the day you agree the package.

03A celebration

A celebration, planned before the day.

From the first idea to a plan whoever runs the day can follow. Laura plans it with you; on the day, whoever you book runs it.

A first idea on a linen table: fabric swatches, pressed flowers and a pencil sketch of a long table.
01The first idea
The same table as a plan: a run sheet on a clipboard, a guest list and blank seating cards.
02The plan
A long table laid in a garden room, a venue team member placing the last glass.
