We thought this week on Tips, Hacks, Ideas we’d put out the prompt and ask our followers who have had kids what their top tips are for new parents. We loved hearing all of your wisdom and so happy to share with you here. And like everything in life - always take advice with a grain of salt.

We're always evaluating the processes in our household and business when it comes to sustainability. We're first to admit we're a work-in-progress. This week we wanted to ask for your best baby-step tips for small changes you can make in your day-to-day life to tread lighter on our lovely earth.

Instagram is a hub of business owners so this week we thought we'd reach out to all of the amazing creators / makers for the things they wished they knew when they first started. Here are the best tips for someone wanting to start their own business (From the people who have done it before)

This recipe came from a friend’s dad, we’ve been cooking it for years and it’s a staple in our kitchen throughout winter. I love cooking this whenever we’re sick or on a cold, rainy day. This was also a meal I prepped before Goldie’s birth and enjoyed postpartum.

With a baby, a business and a new build on the way we’ve been thinking a lot about how we can get back more of our most precious commodity - TIME.

I’m so excited to share this project with you and hope it inspires you to re-love something of your own, click through to watch the full video.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their tips - you’ve spread joy within this household and we hope by sharing them here they spread into yours!

Each week we're picking a topic and asking you, our community for your best tips, hacks and ideas. Earlier this week we asked for your best storage solutions for the home and boy did you deliver!

I spotted The Bootmakers Cottage in Birregurra on Instagram, only half an hour from our house it looked like the perfect place for our first family holiday! We spent our time rugged up by the fire, eating food and soaking in the tub - what a perfect location for my first bath with Goldie!

We received this recipe a couple of years ago from our friend Jess, it's a meal that we love and have on heavy rotation. You can pack it out with seasonal vegetables and the leftovers can be eaten with eggs for breakfast!

The Lon Retreat is a luxury hotel and spa located in Point Lonsdale on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. What a perfect place to spend our ‘Babymoon’ AKA the last holiday just the two of us we’ll have in a while.

Honey and Bacon… name a better duo… this breakfast is an absolute winner! Sweet, salty and perfect for when you want that cafe experience in your own home.

This week it is Al's turn in the workshop and we thought we'd build something we've always wanted - a timber ladder for either blankets or towels.

We decided to build a chest of drawers that could sit a removable change table tray on top so that we can continue to use it forever. The beauty of this plan is once you learn how to build a set of drawers the possibilities are limitless!

This week we decided to create a simple timber floating shelf coat rack. This is a great woodworking project for an entranceway, kitchen, bathroom or kids room!

We have a sneaky suspicion that we’ll be spending a lot of time here so we wanted to create something beautiful that we’ll be able to hold onto for all of our babies. The tray is designed to sit on top of set of drawers - plans available for this project too!

This is a super simple DIY sewing project perfect for beginners which we love for any room in the house. We’ve created digital patterns that you can print off and step-by-step instructions for this project which can access here.

We worked with Chris and Phoebe to create a custom desk and bed for the perfect working-from-home set up!

I remember going to the same cafe everyday and ordering a tandoori wrap in India. This is my interpretation and always a total crowd-pleaser.

This is a super simple DIY project perfect for beginners. We love this for any room in the house and you can easily adjust the length measurement to suit any space.
