Simple renovations. Real meals. A house that nourishes

Hi, I’m Susan — welcome to This House Nourished.
This space is where my love for home, food, and family come together. I’m a wife, mum of [number] little ones, and someone who finds deep joy in turning ordinary routines into something beautiful, memorable, and nourishing.
Here, you’ll find:
- Simple, wholesome recipes that feed both body and soul
- Home renovation projects — from small DIYs to big transformations — as we make our house a home
- Real reflections on motherhood — the messy, joyful, stretching kind
Whether I’m sharing how we re-tiled our kitchen, whipped up a one-pot weeknight meal, or navigated toddler meltdowns, I hope this space feels like a warm cup of tea and a good chat with a friend.
This isn’t about perfection — it’s about creating a home that nourishes the people in it.
Thanks for stopping by — I’m so glad you’re here.
