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, [...]
Article on Cracked.com: 7 dogs that accomplished more than we ever will
I came across this cute costume today whilst looking for halloween costume ideas: Not many people in Australia actually celebrate Halloween, but I’ve wanted to have a Halloween party for YEARS, so decided for my quarter of a century this year I’m going ahead and doing it. I designed my party invite today (and by [...]
It’s quite hard to get a good photo of either Girdler or Harley when on a walk, because they are so intent on being crazy running-around-scaring-the-pants-off-of-the-parents-of-small-children doggies. They think a walk on the school oval next to our house is birthday, Christmas and New Years combined. Funny dogs.

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 [...]
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 [...]
