Makeup free Jodi Gordon remains calm as she struggles to squeeze a huge dollhouse for her daughter Aleeia into the boot of her car
Jodi Gordon looked determined as she attempted to squeeze a massive dollhouse into the boot of her car on Saturday.
The former Neighbours star was joined by her mother, Bronwyn, as they figured out the best way to load the giant toy – presumably for her six-year-old daughter Aleeia – into the vehicle.
Despite her eventful past year, the 35-year-old makeup free star appeared calm and collected during the low-key sighting.

Jodi’s brunette locks were piled back into a tight bun, and she completed the look with a loose black top and matching trousers.
The former model was given a helping hand by her mother as they took on the challenging situation at hand.
The mother-of-one announced in January that she was leaving her role as Elly Conway on the Channel 10 soap Neighbours, after three years on the soap.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph at the time, Jodi said the decision had nothing to do with taking time off last year due to exhaustion.

The career move also saw her moving back to Sydney from Melbourne, where Neighbours is filmed, to spend more time with her daughter Aleeia.
Jodi shares Aleeia with ex-husband, retired NRL star Braith Anasta, 38.
‘It’ll be a huge change for me,’ she told The Daily Telegraph. ‘I’ll get to do more school drop offs, all that kind of stuff, and just get back into auditioning again.’
Jodi took a three-week hiatus from filming due to ‘exhaustion’ in June last year, with her manager blaming the constant travel between Sydney and Melbourne.
‘She’s living between two cities, she’s also a single mum and there are challenges that come with it,’ her manager said at the time.

After returning to work, Jodi spoke candidly about self-love and taking time for herself during an interview with 9Honey.
‘It’s that thing of self love, we all over look it so often but just resting and having a balanced diet, exercise and water and spending time with loved ones,’ she said.
‘Talking about your problems and connecting with people, I think that’s all part of self love.
‘And even I forget to do it sometimes and that’s when I need to take a minute and get myself back on track.’
