Makes me happy

By Mikaela ⋅ May 27, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

What makes me happy? An organised space to complete a DIY project. Which is NOT what I have at the moment… I really need to get cracking on getting things sorted around here. Because I have a new makeover project to do, which is going to be really fun*, but I want to get some [...]

Today I am…

I’ve recently fallen back in touch with someone I used to do web design for, the lovely and talented Elise of LeCoCo [portraits by Elise]. She was kind enough to link to me in her latest blog post, so I’d like to do the same! She also gave me fuel for todays post, and I [...]

Getting nothing done…

So that to-do list I wrote on Friday? Yeah, didn’t actually do one thing on it. I did however go to gorgeous Heidi’s 1st Birthday and it was cute-o-rama. One of the most beautiful babies I know. It does help that her parents are total hotties. This was the little gift we gave her, a [...]

This weekend while JA is playing soccer I’ll be attending Heidi‘s 1st Birthday! She is such a little cutie, I can’t wait =) Sunday is going to be my “work” day. Apart from about a gazillion loads of washing that need doing, I’d really like to knock over a couple of the following: Do 2nd [...]

It’s been a little while since I posted anything from the garden, because to be honest I haven’t been doing all that much! Only a little bit here and there…Which I guess add up to quite a bit of difference when it’s so long between updates! Here’s the front when we moved in: And after [...]

Weekend Shenanigans

By Mikaela ⋅ May 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This weekend was full of fun and goodness and chaos and bedlam. But so good! Friday night we went to tacos (as usual) at JA’s parents place. Erin came down from Newcastle for the weekend so she was there, as well as Katie and her boyfriend Pete. It was nice to hang out with everyone, [...]

pancakes for breakfast

By Mikaela ⋅ May 9, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

My favourite recipe of all time for pancakes comes from my Family Circle Kid’s Cookbook, which I’ve had since I was about 7. It clearly says “pancakes” but the product is definitely crepes. Which in my opinion are much much yummier than pancakes anyway. I made these for our breakfast on Saturday morning, yum.

Hello!

I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and busy (mostly by choice, I suck at relaxing). 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?). I'm a freelance designer, high school & uni teacher, and I'm working towards my dream house one DIY at a time, along with numerous other side-ventures... For more about me, go to the about page =)
