Have you been thrust into working from home recently? And possibly having your children at home as well doing their lessons remotely?

Working from home, especially if the whole family is home can be a challenge. You can get easily distracted and you might be feeling a little lost or unmotivated.

And if you are working at home on your own it can often be lonely and isolating. It’s important to keep some sense of routine and normal life while working from home for the first time.

Here are some of our tips on working from home.

In these unprecedented times that we find ourselves in, you may want to look at ways to take your mind off all the seriousness in the world and find something a bit more soothing, therapeutic and that will help you get through it all.

Baking might be just the thing, and if you are still at work, what better way to show your colleagues that you care from a distance than sending them a little care package of homemade scones to their desk to enjoy.

And these scones are healthy, so no need to feel the guilts and Oh so delicious.

The state of the world news, your Facebook feed or the conversations going on around the water cooler at the moment can be enough to make your head spin.

With so much uncertainty in the world right now from bushfires, to COVID-19 to it can be helpful to try and put these situations into perspective and look at how we react to things and what lens we view situations through – both good and bad.

Fear can cause us to act and do strange things in trying times. So, here are some ways to lead with love instead of fear.

If you have a pet, you will know that trying to find a rental property can be a bit of a nightmare. And with new laws coming into states such as Victoria making it easier for people with pets to secure rental properties, it’s time for landlords to consider the pros and cons of renting out your asset and allowing pets.

Somehow, we always end up with 3 to 4 very ripe bananas just sitting on the counter. Bananas that are too ripe to eat but are perfect for baking.

This healthy banana bread is everything you want in banana bread. It’s moist and dense and full of flavour and great to pop in the kid’s lunch box or take into the office to gain some extra brownie points with your work colleagues.

And while not being entirely guilt-free this recipe will have your insides as happy as the smile on your dial.
