25.01.2022 Ohhh do I know who else feels me?
24.01.2022 Since were hanging at home a little longer I thought Id make these four walls some love love these hand drawn line art pieces from @desenio I got quite a few pieces and cant wait to get them all hung Their wall art is super affordable and I have shared some of our favourite over on the blog!! I also have a 30% off code, valid for 48 hours Use code HOUSEOFWHITE at checkout WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE?! *Code does not apply on handpicked & personalised prints, nor accessories and limited edition items
23.01.2022 Well what a crazy days it's been 100% did not expect in my wildest dreams to sell out in just over an hour I was just kinda hoping for maybe selling most before Xmas I did already have another lot of 'Kimmy' on their way so I've opened up a limited pre-order on the website but once these are gone we won't be redoing those colours or quotes I also don't want to disappoint anyone so while they're on track for delivery for before Xmas I am not guaranteeing it bec...ause we all know how 2020 likes to play you But all going to plan then they should make it Again, I'm kinda just all dishevelled and speechless to be honest Never have I learned so much in a day I think?! I have a new found appreciation for those who run their own business and sell physical goods. Between working out how everything works, box sizing conundrums, evil packing tape dispensers , and an influx of ordering errors and requests/changes my brain has just about given up on me today But I have to admit it's been fun trying something new and of course sharing the experience with my girls! Annabelle had the day off so she's been a busy bee packing cups into bags, picking orders and checking addresses if your order comes with stick hand prints and a rather large smiley face drawn on it then you know it was packed with love and care if not it's likely been packed with sticky tape rage and confusion by me See more
23.01.2022 Omg srsly?! ALWAYS?! Its not just me?!

21.01.2022 I think it's safe to say that this year has looked a bit different for a lot of us! Working and schooling from home. Weekends and holidays, you guessed it - at home! LOL But what if I told you that you could be paid to save energy while you're at home? Spike is Origins new energy-saving program that rewards customers for reducing their energy use and lower their energy bills, and their environmental footprint If you are an @originenergy customer with a smart meter, you can join Spike, and by saving energy during peak times, youll earn points that can be redeemed for PayPal cash or gift cards. It's a great one to get the kids involved with too!! Who is going to give it a try? #Origin #Spike #GoodEnergy #partner
21.01.2022 Shout out to the real MVPs The two little women holding my hand through the clusterfuck that is 2020 These little champs who have adapted to to the snap changes of home school, then back to school, then home school again To everyone around them covering their face with a mask, not being able to see friends, go the the park or even see their grandparents On top of that, moving house and asking them to feel settled in an unknown space all in the middle of this It hasn...t been easy, for any of us, each with our own struggles But weve done it hand in hand. Weve taken it day by day and tackled each hurdle as it comes at us. Im feeling a lot more confident in my choice to seem help and begin medication as I start to feel like the fog is lifting and I am finding the joy in the things I once loved so much For what feels like forever, I am feeling content. I know it wont be all smooth sailing but even just a glimmer gives me so much excitement for the future Enjoying so much getting my camera out lately and documenting these days with my girls.

20.01.2022 If there is one thing I have learnt as a mum, it's that you can NEVER be too organised. In fact, it is fundamental to survival once your kids go to school. And with my last baby starting Prep next year, I wanted to share one of my top tips to stay organised and save money when it comes to getting ready for the new school year. Use the awesome School List Service offered at @officeworks You can combine all school of your kids school lists together in the one transaction and @officeworks will pack the order for free and have it ready for pick up at your chosen store. Makes the job super quick, and finds you all the best prices. Just upload, order and save! What are your Back to School hacks and tips? #SchoolListService #backtoschool #officeworks
20.01.2022 So we thought we'd put the joke on dad this year, and take the predictable old gifts and mix it up to surprise him with something he actual wants! @danmurphys has challenged us to Do Dad's Day Different this year and so we've picked one of Jezz's favourites Whiskys to surprise him. I'm also sharing some other top picks over in stories What will you be picking your dad/husband/FIL etc from Dan's this year?!?!? #danmurphys #sponsored #fathersday
19.01.2022 Those homeschool feels 2020 was the year we dropped the standards
19.01.2022 All the feels sending big love mamas
19.01.2022 Crazy to think this was just over six months ago?! Back home everyone had started buying toilet paper I was still in denial anything serious was going on Fast forward to now... Today is R U OK day. And I think its safe to say a lot of us (Victorian or not) are not! This years been tough. We are consistently being put in tough situations, we are feeling the pressure and the pain. And even for the most resilient of us, the fatigue is setting in. And its not just this, e...veryones got their own things going on. Everyone fights their own battles everyday and we dont even know. A reminder that through this all, its not about comparing ourselves to everyone else or minimising anyone elses feelings. At the end of the day, I just want to be here to be an open door for anyone who needs to talk. To make people feel like theyre not alone and to be honest about how Im feeling (good or bad). Remember, its ok to not be okay.
18.01.2022 Just another little way Im bringing the Happiest Place on Earth to me Thank you @maskdau for this amazing surprise Even have a code for you all OLIVIA10 How cute is it?!?!
18.01.2022 Any excuse to get dressed up ATM spent the day shopping my own wardrobe and rediscovering some of my favourite pieces with Spring delivering the goods this week I have loved taking part in the @omo_australia #WearWashRestyle challenge and over on my stories I'm sharing some insight into how it's also helping my back pocket!! As well as how to enter and to win a new Fisher & Paykel washing machine with ActiveIntelligence, plus a years' supply of OMO Ultimate liquid detergent. Now, who else has a healthy obsession with pinks and reds in their wardrobe or is that just me?

13.01.2022 HFD to this legend We are the luckiest bunch of gals to have you Glad to see parenthood hasnt aged you a day over 25 @jezz.white
12.01.2022 Operating in this online world has taught me a lot about Kindness over the years. A place where it can be so easy to throw negativity and shade without retribution. But over the years it has taught me that even on the darkest days - Kindness absolutely always prevails. Be it the support and love given to you by complete strangers. A collective movement to help those struggling and in need. Or simply just a gentle reminder of all the good in the world. But most of all, that kindness comes from within. And it is most important to treat yourself with kindness, love, and respect. Never be afraid to have fun and never be afraid to be who you are!! The world needs you These gorgeous tees and sweats are available over at @_kind_is_cool_
11.01.2022 Straight to the pool room!! 13 hours later and over 75cm tall Annabelle pretty much did 98% all by herself with no help It was labelled 16+ but it was no challenge for our little @lego master I now understand the Dad in the LEGO movie wanting to super glue it all together There is genies lamp, magic carpet, Belles rose grandfather clock and candelabra Mickeys magic hat, Snows Apple and mirror, and even the magic broom stick How amazing is it?!
11.01.2022 We just got our first energy bill since using @originenergy Spike program and were so shocked to see a 15% reduction on our predicted energy use!! Earning Spike Points that can be redeemed as PayPal cash or gift vouchers has been a huge motivator too! Our Spike Hours are mostly late afternoon or evening so we have been making an effort to ditch the devices and get outside during these times (by spending time with the chickens We had a few Spike Hours we didn't beat, but on...ce we found some more ways to change habits and reduce our use, we were well on our way to boosting those Spike Points!! Who else has signed up and started using it? As a follower of mine, if you sign up to Spike and beat your Spike Hour, you can earn a bonus $10 in Spike Points. That’s 1,000 points which can be redeemed for PayPal cash or gift cards. What are you waiting for? See the link in my stories!! #Origin #Spike #GoodEnergy {partner}
10.01.2022 When your new kicks arrive does this make me cool yet?? #thestuffyoufindonwish
10.01.2022 Crazy to think that this was just over 6 months ago one of the greatest experiences with these two amazing little people Never realised how important these little moments in time captured in haste would mean to me just a few weeks later when the world changed forever and history took a drastic and unexpected turn Its been 6 long longs since Ive seen you and your mama Mil we miss you terribly and we cant wait to do this again with you hopefully one days soon
09.01.2022 Amen! Be kind to yourself mama you are doing amazing Dont let society tell you otherwise!
09.01.2022 LOLLLLL accurate!
09.01.2022 Can we just take a moment I cant help but feel shes been here before I honestly feel like some days, its her guiding and teaching me, more than I do her #teddymae
08.01.2022 My Teddy Bear following one from my stories yesterday. I get asked all the time about her name?! Some people actually never knew her full name But truthfully I dont get the questions sometimes?! Why dont we call her Theodora?! Does she know her real name?! Why call her Theodora if you never call her that?! Why didnt you just call her Teddy??... Like I said in my story, we gave the girls names we felt could carry them through life. Lots of people shared their own kids names and variations and said you dont understand why people question it so much?! Truly I dont know why its a big deal?! I mean are you even Aussie if you dont have a dozen nicknames?! Do you guys have shortened names or nicknames for your kids?!
08.01.2022 The girls put their own little catwalk together today to show off some of their favourite outfits in their wardrobe Over the next month, we are partnering with @omo_australia to inspire Aussies to fall in love with their wardrobes again using their favourite products from the OMO Ultimate & NEW Expert range! I'll be sharing some of our favourite staple outfits from our wardrobe each week. Show how you are doing the same and they are giving you the chance to win a new Fisher ...& Paykel washing machine with ActiveIntelligence, plus a years' supply of OMO Ultimate liquid detergent through the #WearWashRestyle challenge. All you need to do is upload an Instagram post and share which OMO product you are using to give new life back to your staples from OMO's Ultimate & NEW Expert range. Simply follow and tag @omo_australia and #WearWashRestyle in your Post or Story to be in the running! HOW CUTE IS THEIR CATWALK?!
08.01.2022 Food for thought I think more than ever we need to be so mindful of what we consume and what we allow around us!! Its important to protect yourself

02.01.2022 Love seeing their little inquisitive faces light up when they get their new @kiwico_inc boxes each month. I won't lie, these have been an absolute saviour now we are back to remote learning. Giving the girls something engaging to do that focus around S.T.E.A.M learning, keeping their little minds occupied and keeps them off screens @kiwico_inc is a monthly subscription box that was started by a mom of 3 to spark creativity, tinkering and learning in kids ages 0-16+. Their subscriptions ship internationally to 39 countries, including Australia. You can use my code OLIVIA to get 30% off your first month of Kiwi Co as well. How cool is the rotating Solar System Annabelle got to make? And Ted is absolutely loving her snake!!
01.01.2022 She was born to be free, let her run wild in her own way and you will never lose her As tough as this year has been, the one thing Ive enjoyed more than anything is the time with my girls The days we put everything down, didnt worry about school work and left the house a mess in the name of fun Weve discovered so many beautiful places all within a metres of our own home. Its taught us a new way to live and shown us whats really important in life.... It hasnt been easy, and a lot of the days felt like theyd just never end. But one thing thats clear is that kids are bloody resilient! And I couldnt be prouder of this little souls for how theyve handled it all
01.01.2022 WOO HOO!! New restock on the camo set and sunnies I love!!! NOT SO MUMSY <3
