2011 Christmas recap

By Mikaela ⋅ January 13, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Raf’s first Christmas was pretty fun, but I think it will only get better and better as he gets older and understands more about gift giving and the magic of Santa. For 2011, he pretty much just lay around while everyone piled gifts upon him =P As we have several places and people we celebrate [...]

New Crafty Toy & Project Life!

By Mikaela ⋅ January 11, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

Because the Christmas Markets last month went so well for me, I treated myself to a brand-spanking-new Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. This thing is AMAZING. Think laser cutter, but for paper, cardboard, vinyl etc. It has a tiny blade, and will cut your designs from the computer. These are really popular among scrapbookers, but my [...]

Daily To-Do lists

By Mikaela ⋅ January 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m finding writing daily to-do lists in the evenings for the next day really helpful for getting things done, especially those little things like replying to emails, that tend to get pushed to the back of your brain at the best of times, never mind when you have a baby. I love ticking things off! [...]

2011 – The Year That Was

By Mikaela ⋅ December 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

2011 has been a pretty rad year. Obviously the best thing ever was getting pregnant, having a fuss free pregnancy, and giving birth to my beautiful little baby monster boy. One of my posts I came across recently from the 5th of January of this year, talked about trying to do a bit of a [...]

Happy Holidays!

From my family to yours =)

Lost? Go back to the home page.

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 =)
