Suzanne Mulholland chats to Lauren Taylor about getting ahead

Suzanne Mulholland
Suzanne Mulholland once declared she 'hated' Christmas Day-she was the person who ended up organising the entire event, from presents, to decorations and, of course, the food.
"When the kids were little, I actually didn't like Christmas. I didn't feel it was my day. I felt like it was everybody else's day," the 49-year-old says. "I look back on it now and think I really did miss some key moments where I would have loved being the one sitting just helping build Lego, or whatever it was, but I felt tied to the kitchen."
To make a busy life with children easier Mulholland started batch cooking, and after sharing videos on YouTube and Instagram, 'The Batch Lady' Instagram account was born. With it, the mum-of-two was able to transform Christmas so she wasn't cooking all day.
