This last weekend was a super nice one. We didn’t actually *do* much, but just hanging out with husband all weekend was really lovely. And the weather was gorgeous! Still a little bit chilly, but the sunshine put a smile on my face (COME ON SPRING).
Sunday we took the dogs to the doggy park by [...]
Does it regularly happen that peole have 1000+ posts to read in their RSS feeds? I’ve recently switched from iGoogle to Google Reader and every couple of days I try to catch up on all my feeds, but by the end of the week it’s always back up to 1000+… Nice to know there’s a [...]
I’ve probably left this a little bit late to post about because I have a memory like a sieve and only a week after returning from our holiday, I can’t remember which day we did what on. Hopeless!
All I know is, Caloundra is a beautiful place, and a helluva lot warmer than chilly Canberra! When [...]
Brought to you by my trusty iPhone and Picasa
We stayed in Caloundra, a beautiful little town in the Sunshine Coast (1 hr north of Brisbane), and were in walking distance to great restaurants and cafés, the grocery store, the Craft store (!) and most importantly the beach =)
The legs pic was taken by me, the [...]
We’ve had a lovely few days, which I will post about in detail once we get home and I can get all my photos together.. Today we were down in surfers paradise at seaworld, and this is an iPhone pic on our way home of the sunset, very pretty!
We’re up in QLD! Staying in beautiful Caloundra. It’s lovely and sunny and warm, but a bit windy at the moment. We have the laptop but no Internet, so anything I post this week will be from my iPhone. Please excuse any errors and brief posts!
The photo is out the back door of the complex [...]
Last Tuesday night I had my mum, mum-in-law, sister-in-law, bestie and 2nd mum (bestie’s mum) over for a crafty party at our place. My nearest and dearest are not really known for their “creativity” and a few were a tad apprehensive at the thought of anything with the word “Craft” in it, but we had [...]
After eyeing off the ASOS dress for so long over the weekend, I felt I had to go shopping today after work. I had an actual need for a long sleeved plain top, but a more superficial need to just get some retail therapy. So out to DFO I trekked, and came home with a [...]
This June long weekend came as welcome surprise to me, and I’m very happy to say I did lots of relaxing but also lots of little projects too!
Firstly, just a couple of jobs around the house I’ve been meaning to do for a long time… The floating shelves in our bedroom were totally wonky and [...]
If you’re not up to date with current affairs, this is bad news. First check out this link, to visualise how big the “spill” really is: www.ifitwasmyhome.com. Next see these awful images of animals stuck in the goop: www.boston.com.
Feeling helpless yet? I know I am.
Here a couple of places to can go to donate [...]

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 a [...]
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 [...]
