I think my favourite thing about washing is refill

I think my favourite thing about washing is refilling my jars! And I couldn't be happier refilling them with the new OMO products because they smell so amazing. OMO is encouraging Aussies to make sustainable swaps to help protect the environment for future generations. Making small swaps like hanging your clothes in the sun instead of using a dryer can make a huge difference to the planet and reduce your carbon footprint.

OMO's new and improved formula contains a naturally derived stain remover and the packaging is 100% recyclable - so get on board with this fantastic initiative and do your part.
I've had so many people reach out in the past about products that are kind to the planet but also smell so good so this is for you! Do you already make small sustainable swaps and if so what do you recommend to help us do more?

I cant believe it's been over 2yrs since I finishe

I cant believe it's been over 2yrs since I finished my pantry. And i still love it. So apparently my kids love hanging out here 🤣 Miss S closes the door and belts out the 2 frozen songs because it makes such a good studio and Miss A now crawls into it and opens the lids of the baskets 🤣 atleast I know there's nothing she can destroy in the baskets so as long as she's entertained while I clean the kitchen, it works for me!

I haven't changed much in here except added a few more items like cake stands/knives etc. I'm glad I had waited to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it before decking it out with @little_label_co jars because the last thing I'd want to do is start over.

And I get asked every single time about the white step shelving- they wete custom built by our friends to fit our space. The small timber ones are all Little lable co as well as the canisters and all glass jars.

I try and clean my stove as I cook, but let's face

I try and clean my stove as I cook, but let's face it, most nights I cook and eat and by the time the kids finish eating it's already bedtime and the stove is neglected. I recently started using Hillmark Steel Power to clean the stove and it is so easy to use and actually does a great job. It's so easy to use, simply squeeze and wipe. Come clean with me and see just how essy and effective this product is!

who loves cleaning the oven/stove and who hates it?

Finally, Melbourne is starting to see some beautiful sunny days with the weather warming up, which means we can start to use our @mineralswim pool. The kids have been so patient during lockdown with sunny weather, but not warm enough to swim. They had a swim yesterday and we have friends coming over for a swim today. So many people told us it would be a waste of money building a pool because it doesn't get used, but I can already see we wont be leaving it during summer so best money spent in my opinion! I can't wait for 1 family restrictions to ease so we can have everyone over for a pool party! I have never been a fan of going to the public pools and a daily beach trip with 3 kids isn't really relaxing for the adults, so if anyone is more excited, it's me! The beach trips will be left for a nice stroll and a sometimes swim and we can enjoy the fun in the comfort of our own home.

Do you have a pool? If so do you use it a lot?

When was the last time you descaled your dishwashe

When was the last time you descaled your dishwasher? As you all know, I heavily use our dishwasher and although I run the occasional bicarb clean through it, at least once a month it needs a deeper descale. This week I've found that it wasn't working to its full potential so I knew it was time for a descale. I used Hillmark's Scalex Heavy Duty Home Descaler, which is the easiest product to use. I filled the detergent dispenser and sprinkled a couple of level teaspoons of Scalex Heavy Duty Home Descaler in the machine and let it run a normal cycle. That's it! I love an easy product, because I have no time to waste with a busy household.

This product isn't just for dishwashers, you can use it on shower heads, washing machines and to remove rust! Hillmark's Scalex Heavy Duty Home Descaler is available to purchase at @bunnings and @colessupermarkets.

Major throwback to when we had human interaction a

Major throwback to when we had human interaction and having special dinner parties were a breeze. @apeachyaffairevents set up this beautiful space and @light.gloss snapped it. This seems like a lifetime ago and I'm missing my friends so much. I cant wait to cook for everyone again. I have always been an entertainer and luckily my husband is exactly the same. We love inviting friends over and feeding them. Honestly, our house was always full of people. I guess first week of lockdown it felt like I was getting a little break from cooking so much, but 6 months in, this is my only wish right now.

People outside of Melbourne right now, cherish every moment you are allowed to see your loved ones. Don't take any second of your day for granted. Believe me, that has been the hardest part of lockdown! As soon as we are allowed out, friends get ready, lunch is on me!
