Our Christmas Tree! 2011

By Mikaela ⋅ December 11, 2011 ⋅ One comment

This year I cut down my own tree! And it’s AMAZING, even if I say so myself =) I went to Christmas Tree Keng, a property out past the Tulip Farm on the Highway to Sydney that grow radiata pines specifically for Christmas! They hand prune their trees to be the perfect shape, and you [...]

Mini update from a new muma

By Mikaela ⋅ November 23, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Gosh. Who knew doing *anything* with a newborn would take so long, be so hard, or so tiring?! Oh, everyone? Damn. Well now I’ve experienced it first hand, I can see how my blogging has taken a bit of a back seat. (you can always follow along on my tumblr, but 98%of the photos now [...]

So, give or take up to 2 weeks, I’ve got about 3 weeks to go. Feeling really good still (touch wood), no aches or pains, ankles aren’t too swollen (no cankles yet), still sleeping through the night without having to get up a million times to pee… High fives all round! Baby bag is packed, [...]

I luff babies

Yesterday we had lunch with our good friends Phil & Beck and their 4 week old baby (you might remember these gorgeous people from the photos I took of their wedding!) Lara is breathtaking. She is so little, and just beautiful. I can’t wait to hold my own little bubba in my arms XD

Brisbane Trip

By Mikaela ⋅ July 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

This past weekend I flew up to Brissy to have a girly weekend with my Besties, Caz and Clo, and a new friend Bianca (who lives in Emerald, North QLD as does Caz). Lets just say, at 26 weeks preggers and not *that* fat yet (though people seem to love telling me I’m huge already [...]

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 =)
