Tree Hut Village - Parent to Parent Baby Hire

Tree Hut Village is Australia’s first parent to parent baby equipment hire platform. It connects (travelling) parents seeking to hire baby gear with local parents who have listed their unused baby gear for hire.

Tree Hut Village allows lenders to list their baby equipment for free and make a bit of extra money. Stuff that was hiding away in storage, waiting for the next baby to arrive, can now pay for itself within a few hires and that money can be put towards the next purchase or family trip.

Prior to Tree Hut Village, parents would lug their bulky baby equipment around on their travels or alternatively go through a lengthy hire process with brick and mortar hire businesses of 10 or more steps to get your booking confirmed. Our platform provides a simple 3 step, all online, process.

Flower Affect

Welcome friends, my name is Lisa. I am sincerely interested in transitioning into the floristry industry following a successful 20 years in the Child Care field.
I have always had a strong desire and vision for creativity, working with flowers helps me achieve this.
While pursuing a new career change, I am also a mother of two beautiful children. Taking a new path in life has been difficult at times, but with the love and help from my family we have all put in the effort and have easily adapted to change.
Flowers make me happy, I can always guarantee that picking, styling and even photographing flowers will lift my spirits. I hope to pass this passion to you through the beauty, colour and textures of my flower arrangements into your household. My flowers will fill a room with their beautiful fragrance and put a smile on that special someone.
The affect of flowers are so immediate, and that’s part of their charm.

Do you enjoy singing? Or are you interested in trying a new activity that sees you do more than just shower singing and carpool karaoke?

Our Gordon based Adult Glee Club has mums from the Ryde and Northern Districts areas participating, and we’re always on the look out for new members to join our weekly singing group. Expect to sing anything from pop to rock, musical theatre, golden oldies and event the odd current hit.

There’s no auditions, no experience needed. Just a willingness to give it a try and have a good time while doing so. It’s so healthy for the body and mind to sing regularly and lowers stress levels and anxiety. The people are welcoming and if you’ve never sung in a choir or group before, don’t be scared.
