How do you choose a thoughtful Father’s Day gift for someone who rarely tells you what he wants?

My newest article includes everyday investment pieces, sentimental DIY gifts and experiences that create intentional time between Dad and his children.

But after asking two dads about their favourite Father’s Day gifts, I realised they remembered the feeling of the day more clearly than anything they had unwrapped.

Perhaps the best gift is simply creating a day that makes Dad feel noticed, loved and appreciated. šŸ¤Ž

A month ago, I asked Tony a question:

ā€œWhat if we each invested $1,000 into our health?ā€

We’ve spent so much of the past few years operating in survival mode—parenthood, broken sleep, major moves and all the invisible emotional and mental load that comes with family life.

Now that we finally have a little more space to look honestly at how we’re feeling, we’ve decided to begin a new experiment.

We’ll each have $1,000 to invest deliberately in our health over the coming months. But this won’t only be about what we buy. Each month, I’ll share one paid investment and one free investment involving time, attention or effort—and explore what they actually give back to our lives.

The introductory article is now live:

I’d love to know: if you had $1,000 to invest in how you feel, where would you begin?

The Decision Fatigue I Never Anticipated When Building a Tiny Home 18/08/2026

NEW ON CARE MORE šŸ”

I thought moving into our tiny home would be the moment we could finally exhale.

What I didn't anticipate was how many decisions would follow us through the front door.

The snag list. The deck. The landscaping. Moving our belongings across the country. Settling two little boys. Moving our cats. Starting life somewhere completely new.

Eventually I didn't even want to decide what groceries to buy.

I wrote about the decision fatigue that quietly crept in after building our tiny home — and why we've decided that some of our plans can simply wait.

New article: This Was a Lot Harder Than Expected.

It’s late ā° I’m tired 😓 We’ve been in the tiny home for two months and somehow I’m still dealing with builders, tiles, cushions, kennels, Airbnbs and a never-ending to-do list.

This article was written somewhere in the middle of all that.

Why we don’t have a washing machine inside our tiny home.

It surprises a lot of people, but it was a conscious choice.

We actually have two laundry systems.

The first is a small caravan washer that sits outside the tiny home. The second is our local laundromat, which we use when the weather isn’t cooperating. With all the rain lately, drying clothes outside has been almost impossible, so we’ve been spending around $32 a week if we make two laundromat trips.

When we get a few dry days, we use the caravan washer and clothesline instead.

The biggest reason we chose not to install a washing machine inside was moisture.

Tiny homes have a much smaller air volume than a standard house, and I was concerned about introducing extra humidity and increasing the risk of mould over time. For me, the convenience wasn’t worth potentially compromising the home.

I also spent quite a bit of time researching the vibration and movement washing machines can create in tiny homes and decided I’d rather avoid it altogether.

Not that the laundromat is always glamorous.

Loading baskets, wrangling two toddlers, folding clothes in public… it can feel like a whole afternoon.

But somewhere along the way, we’ve realised these slower tasks have become part of our lifestyle.

The boys help load machines, sort clothes, and learn that caring for a home takes time.

It’s not always convenient.

But slow living rarely is.

That said… we are looking forward to creating a more permanent outdoor laundry setup once our deck is finished.

Tiny living is always evolving.

Would you rather have a washing machine inside your tiny home or outside? šŸ‘‡
