We have a pretty full weekend planned this week, starting tomorrow (Friday!) with a road trip to Sydney for our good friends’ wedding. This wedding is going to be fabulous and amazing, Beck has excellent taste, and she’s chosen to have a formal wedding on a pier on Darling Harbour and then the reception at [...]
Today I hosted another Tea Party, this one being much more successful than the last (where everyone canceled and it was my mum and I eating all the finger food by ourselves haha! disaster). 11 gorgeous girls came over (including school friends, work friends, mums and my 90 year old Nandy) to play ladies, and [...]
Weeeeee XD I’ll have an outdoor stall on Sunday 28th March at the Canberra Handmade Markets, held at Kamberra Wine Company in Lyneham. For this stall I will only be selling my buttons and magnets, but that suits me just fine. Might have got a bit overwhelming otherwise… So it’s all systems go, tags have [...]
I have a big bunch of blogs in my Google Homepage feed, but these are the ones I like to check on every day or so: #1. The Happy Home – Belinda Belinda’s blog is so inspirational, almost every single post has an idea in it that I want to try. She is really stylishly [...]
#1. Before having kids, I need to get strong. I hung out with Caren and Ashley again this afternoon, and was holding Ash for a total of about 15 minutes. At 8.5kg, I couldn’t hold her for more than 10minutes straight. How pathetic is that! So I better start lifting some weights. #2. I need [...]
My blog was down for about 3 or 4 days just now, did you notice? I host about 40 domains on my account with 1and1.com, and have just recently installed wordpress on two others besides this one. I guess the server didn’t like that, so it came up with an Internal Server Error 500 for [...]
They are the Sunday 28th March, Saturday 5th June, Saturday 11th September and Saturday 4th December. Now I just have to apply XD Applications are still closed though, so I keep checking the website to make sure I don’t miss out. And they’ve moved location! It used to be at the Canberra Woolshed in Yarralumla, [...]
I just had to share this photo of my grandma blowing out her candles at her 90th birthday party. Amazing, right?

Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere. I'm Mikaela, I am female, 25, married, and busy by choice. I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). For more about who I am and what I do, go to the about page =)
We had giant hamburgers for dinner. Bun, tomato sauce, mustard, cheese, hot chilli meat pattie, more cheese, pineapple, beetroot, tomato, lettuce, avocado, bun. YUM. Giant! I had two. See my last post about always eating too much.
Yesterday I was in Coles and saw this yummo looking Italian bread which inspired me to make Bruschetta as an entreé to dinner last night. I forgot to get Olive Oil when I was there so had to improvise with peanut oil, but it wasn’t too bad. I buttered the bread (no oil, remember?), spread [...]
This is a recipe I sort of made up about 4 years ago. I think it’s probably based on something I had once and I just tried to remember the ingredients when putting it together. I’ve got it down to a fine art now, everyone loves this salad. It goes perfectly with snags and steak [...]
Before going to the coast last week I made 2 ribbon organiser boxes. One turned out really well, the other not so much. Here is the latter, made from an old tissue box. The reason I don’t like the end result is because the tissue box was too flimsy to begin with, the walls went [...]
As promised, here are Girds’ and Harley’s new doggie beds! The reason I decided to make these is because their current beds are lumpy, big oofy pillows, with blankets on top. They take up far too much room in our bedroom, aren’t very portable, and are hard to wash. These beds, however, are the opposite [...]
Yesterday and today were spent putting my house back together, so I haven’t had a chance to complete the DIY projects I wanted to do today to show here. Hopefully I can finish the doggie beds tonight as well as at least start on my ribbon organiser… We’ll see how I go, I still have [...]
