10 tips for designing your family home

Sep 29 2014

Building your dream home can be stressful. It can be irritating and can be very daunting. But it is also one of the most rewarding experiences and one that has left Mr C and I feeling accomplished. We moved into our house 18 months ago after months of picking and choosing, second guessing and taking a leap of faith. Being handed the keys to our house was a surreal moment but also a relieving one. It took months to get to the point of having the keys in our hot little hands though and months of learning the ins and outs of the building process before that. I want to share my top 10 tips for designing your family home that I have learnt through the course building our house. Tips for designing your family home 1.

Transporting furniture from overseas

Sep 28 2014

I went to Canada a few years ago and came across the most beautiful heavy wood dining table that had equally gorgeous matching chairs. It was affordable, the perfect size and exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anyone that would transport it back to Australia for me and had to leave without it. I was absolutely devastated.

Sleep peacefully in aden+anais & giveaway

Sep 26 2014

When all 3 of my kids were babies they used sleeping bags instead of blankets, the idea of loose blankets and sheets worried me because they all moved a lot when they slept. Actually Poppet is probably the worst of the 3 because she is now 15 months old and still moves from one end of her bed to the other numerous times throughout the night, because of this I cannot see blankets making their way to her bed in the foreseeable future. This is why I am so grateful for brands like aden+anais that cater to children like mine. Having the option of great quality sleeping bags that are large enough to fit a 1 year old with room to move her legs and remain comfortable at night is wonderful and now that the night are warming up, Poppet is enjoying the luxury of her aden+anais classic sleeping bag. The 100%…
