Hi.

I'm Nadine. Thanks for stopping by. The floors are creaky, the kids are loud, but the door's always open and the coffee's always on.

Make yourself at home.

House Inspiration: Scout and the Gumboot Kids

House Inspiration: Scout and the Gumboot Kids

Scout and the Gumboot Kids. It's the best thing on CBC Kids. It's magical. Like watching a Wes Anderson film that encourages preschoolers to take mindful moments and appreciate the nature around them. I'll even forgive it for starring a mouse. I have serious rodent-anxiety issues. More on that later.

(Parenting tip: Daisy and the Gumboot Kids is on the CBC app. Each super-short episode features a nature craft. It. Is. Lovely.)

And if you're over minimalism and want a little antique-love in your interior design, look no further. The set design is charming.

Now I just need to learn to crochet....
