I spent the first 13 weeks of this pregnancy unbelievably anxious and I avoided socialising. I didn’t recognise myself, I felt guilty for not being happy and was jealous of the early ignorant bliss of my first pregnancy.

The one thing that I found really helped during my first trimester was drinking a smoothie in the morning before getting out of bed which I continued to do into my second trimester. I highly recommend giving this recipe a go if you’re finding is hard to get out of bed.

For this week's DIY Project as part of our Christmas Gift Guide Series we thought we'd make a nice BIG Grazing Board that is perfect for those who love to entertain (like us).

This is such a simple project and great gift idea that encourages outside play in both adults and children!

After a quick morning coffee with our neighbour Marissa up at Freshwater Creek Cottages we were sent home with a tray of eggs from their chooks and a pile of beautiful herbs from their veggie garden. It only felt right to whip up some delicious fritters with a zesty yoghurt.

This was a DIY project requested by so many of you when we put the word out asking what you wanted to see us build! Simple timber picture frames that you can build yourself at home.

Custom joinery can be expensive particularly when the drawers you’re working with are not a standard size. These steps can be applied to any drawer throughout your house, I know we’ll be doing them in every room!

Daylesford is a favourite weekend holiday destination for those who love nature, design and food! We couldn’t help but share our stay at the beautifully considered Room and Board Airbnb which is perfect for couples wanting a quick getaway.

We are renting our house and storage in our kitchen is a struggle. For us we really wanted to build something that maximised our bench space while making sure we didn't need to add any permanent fixings.

Inspired by a breakfast we ate two days in a row on a recent trip to Daylesford. Baked eggs with all of the good stuff - we’re pretty sure you could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We wanted to give our rental kitchen a mini makeover by replacing the metal door handles with beautiful timber ones. This is a super easy, quick and budget-friendly DIY home improvement project that you can whip up in an afternoon.

We’ve had this mirror ever since we inherited it from an old share-house. We’ve always said we’d make a new timber frame for it and we finally got around to doing it.

We made one of our all-time favourite Ottolenghi recipes which is his Turkey and Sweetcorn Meatballs with Roasted Pepper Sauce, we had leftover sauce so we thought we’d create a delicious breakfast dish around it. I make these flatbreads all of the time, they are particularly great with Indian dinners!

For this bedroom styling I had picked up some beautiful orange banksia flowers, I wanted to bring out the bold colours and create a really fun and fresh feel that highlighted the beauty of the natural materials used - timer, linen, jute rug and handmade ceramics.

Before we moved to the Surf Coast we used to spend every weekend driving down here to surf. We would wake up early Saturday morning and hit the road - stay as long as we could and drive back to Melbourne. And if the surf was really good we’d wake up on Sunday and do it all over again. We moved in September 2016 and haven’t looked back.

Stacks on baby!! Basically a super simple oven-baked sweet potato rosti stacked with a pile of deliciousness. A really easy and tasty breakfast when you want that cafe experience in your own home.

This is a really super delicious, healthy and easy breakfast recipe that we whipped up with leftover vegetables that we had in the fridge - packed full of flavour and a great way to feed a large group (or one Al who eats enough for 3 people).

We picked these stools up a few years ago, although a quick, cheap and regretful purchase we couldn’t bring ourselves to just toss them out - so we thought let’s try replacing the tops with beautiful solid hardwood and see what we get.

We decided to share our miscarriage experience for anyone who curious about what the process looked like for us behind closed doors.

We were recently interviewed by The Surf Coast Times and featured as local entrepreneurs alongside Sarah and Dan O’Connell of Boardsox and Emma Barr of Yogi Peace Club. It’s great to feel supported by our local community and discover other talented creatives in our area.
