    How to Work From Home With Little Kids

    April 2, 2020June 5, 2020

    Wow – how things have changed lately. Without going on too much about all the negative things about COVID-19 – I know we all know it by now! – what it means for a lot of people is that we are working from home… and many of us with children home too. For me, having

    My Chrissy gift arrived early 😁😉✨ Generous My Chrissy gift arrived early 😁😉✨ Generously gifted this bone inlay tray from @fenton_and_fenton. It's so sturdy and beautifully made; I was blown away by how lovely it is in person. Each tray is handcrafted in India from ethically sourced buffalo bone. Even Mr Nerd thought it was cool and he's normally very quiet about these things 😉 @fenton_and_fenton have just launched their holiday gift edit with lots of special ideas (will link to it in my Stories). I feel like this tray is the kind of thing we'll keep forever - can't wait to use it for summer dinners and Christmases and Halloweens to come 🕸️🖤 #gifted . . . . #fentonandfenton #gift #housenerd #housenerdhome #christmasgift #backyard #deckdesign #patiodecor #outdoorentertaining #christmasgiftideas #bw #boneinlay #lawnaddicts #blackandwhitedecor #howwedwell #hous #classichome #patiodecor #entertainingathome #entertaining #drinks #backyardgarden
    So happy! 🌊 I've loved the paintings of Shoalwa So happy! 🌊 I've loved the paintings of Shoalwater artist @nicolesteenhof.art for YEARS since my friend @what.caity.did.next introduced me to them, and I finally managed to buy one! Had to hide from the kids and hubby at 9am on Saturday morning, agitatedly refreshing my phone until the new collection went live online, it was worth it 😅. Made my day. It's even moodier and more beautiful in real life 🤩If you need a new artist addiction, go have a look at Nicole's feed @nicolesteenhof.art . She is so talented, her prices are still so modest and there are still a few beautiful pieces from her latest collection available 🌊 . . . . #perthart #artists #housenerd #seascape #oilpainting #australianart #australianartist #localart #christmasgift #landscapeartist #landscapeart #originalart #perthblog #homeswithheart #coastalinteriors #coastalliving #coastal #housenerdhome #housenerd #homesblog #art #stormysea #perthart #perthartists
    You might have seen recently I stenciled the batte You might have seen recently I stenciled the battered concrete floor of my mum’s home office for a little budget room refresh. The next step was painting the walls and the old, yellowed doors. I teamed up with @duluxaus to help spread the word about their gorgeous new 2021 paint forecast. I asked Mum to pick two colours from Dulux’s new Nourish palette, which is a curation of earthy, calming tones that all complement each other. The idea is that you can choose any colours within each palette for a room or home and they’ll all work with one another - makes paint selection very easy! ✌🏽 We chose Skip To for the walls and White Exchange for the doors and frames. Skip To was actually quite similar to the original wall colour, but the walls were marked and battered, with cracks. Skip To was a nicer, calming neutral that would work with the natural light and the other existing colours in my parents’ 1940s home. I repainted the yellowed enamel paint doors in Dulux White Exchange Half to contrast with the walls and also help bounce the natural light around the room by going with a full gloss finish. I always go water-based white Aquanamel for doors and trims - unlike oil-based, water-based won't yellow with age! 🌞 A fresh lick of paint has made this room feel so much brighter and happier, but best of all my mum is very proud of her home office space now. Swipe for the befores! 🤪 . . . #sponsored #housenerd #dulux #ad#duluxcolourforecast2021 #colouritwithdulux #colourconfidence #inyourhome #duluxinyourhome#duluxskipto #budgetreno #duluxwhiteexchange #renovation #housenerdhome #paintmakeover #makeover #roomrefresh #DIYblog #diyhomedecor #paintedfloor #paintmakeover #paintingideas #howwedwell #howwehome #renoblog #oldhouselove #neutralstyle #neutraldecor
    My hubby has become the (much) better cook in our My hubby has become the (much) better cook in our family. I do think it used to be me 😜 But I blame children! I really enjoyed cooking dinner before two kids... I used to pour a glass of chef juice and enjoy it 🍷 Now I just want to do quick easy meals whereas for Mr Nerd, cooking and trying new things is a hobby. His current bedside read is a book on sauces. He will be like, "So tonight I thought I could do a umami chicken with homemade soy Yorkshire puddings and eight hour gravy?" and I will growl, "Our house is already messy. I just want to do steak and salad." 😠😤 I know, I am an ungrateful grump. So when @nylexwatering gifted me one of their modular raised garden kits I decided to slightly make up for my sourpuss ways. I set it up by hubby's barbecue area, planted it with baby herbs and he really liked it! I did this for purely unselfish reasons and not because I'd like fresh basil on my homemade pizza. 🌱 . . . #gifted #nylex #husbandappreciationpost #housenerd #barbecue #cook #homecook #houseblog #housenerdhome #herbs #homegarden #freshherbs #weber #gardenideas #dragontree #70shome #perthblog #perthhomes #gardeninprogress #gardening #DIYhome #love#hedge

Not like this is the third Halloween running that Catboy's made an appearance, and I definitely don't have to pry that crusty dress off Miss Nerd kicking and screaming every day just to wash it 😅😜 We had an epic time trick or treating! I love that it's getting bigger and bigger in Australia, so much fun 😜🎃👻💀 . . . #halloween #halloween2020 #trickortreat #trickortreating #costumes #halloweendecor #halloweeninaustralia #home #housenerd #kidscostumes #costumes #halloweencostume #halloweenperth #bestfriends #besties #pjmasks #catboy #wiggles #siblings
