The Babies go to Costco

By Mikaela ⋅ May 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Not sure there’s anything much cuter than two babies in the one shopping trolley. I’ve decided I’m only ever going to Costco now if I have 2 babies with me ;) Also, I spied my one true love there, in kitchen appliance form *sigh*

Handmade Fashion Market Wrap-up

By Mikaela ⋅ May 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I attended the inaugural Fashion Only Handmade Market event last weekend, as a stallholder with my jewellery and accessories, it was really great! This time I was inside the main hall (as it is a slightly smaller market than the regular big Handmade Market) on a corner stall, and I had a lot of fun [...]

Please friends, get married and invite me! I love love love weddings =) A few weekends ago we went to the beautiful wedding of Jen and Dave, and honestly, it really was lovely.

6 Months Old

By Mikaela ⋅ April 16, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

Rafael is 6 months old this month. We’re loving every minute of it ;) This month Raf has started reaching out for things (like our faces and his Kitty and Doggies ♥), sitting up for longer periods of time, he is hammering the “solid” food (more like mushy foods), lots of tummy time and some [...]

My Vegetable Garden – Part 1

By Mikaela ⋅ April 8, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Today I *finally* got the structure started for our Vege Garden! I feel a big sense of achievement here, because the area has been sitting there getting more jungley by the day, for about 2 years now… And today I managed to weed it, move a wood sleeper to create the fourth wall base, put [...]

Open Garden & Inspiration

By Mikaela ⋅ April 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Mum and I visited a lovely open garden inCanberra on the weekend. It was owned by an older retired couple, who have lived there for 43 years! So they have about 40 years on me and my garden, but I was still so envious. The style of their garden was not totally on par with [...]

Living Room Design Reveal {before & after}

By Mikaela ⋅ March 27, 2012 ⋅ 3 comments

My living room was finally tidy enough to take pictures of for the reveal! We got rid of our 4 seater chaise lounge and 2 seater blue couch, and replaced them with a beautiful chocolate brown leather 3 seater lounge. We painted the walls white (from cream) and got new white double roller blinds (from [...]

Baby Swimming Lessons

By Mikaela ⋅ March 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The only bad thing about being down the coast on holiday for a week is missing Raf’s swimming lesson on Saturday morning, it is so cute and so much fun. He is so chilled about it too, just checking out all the other babies instead of paying any attention to us splashing water on his [...]

5 Months Old

By Mikaela ⋅ March 14, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Reading over the “4 Months Old” post it seems I am saying the same things here one month later, but really Rafa is just advancing everyday, even if only slightly, and it’s such a fun thing to watch him grow and learn and develop his personality. He is still doing his crunches, he is very [...]
