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, [...]
We just got home from a great birthday dinner with my parents, JA’s parents (mom & stepdad), Chloé & Scott and Miriam at Australian Pizza Kitchen in Civic. SO YUM. Very full now. JA and I both got half/half pizzas so we could share and have 4 different kinds of pizza each =) We had [...]
We did it! My soccer team, Womens State League 1 Belconnen United Football Club, won the grand final on the weekend! It was a great game, we were down 1-0 by about the 20th minute but came back to score 3 goals (all 3 by our awesome striker Freya) to take out the Premiership. Woohoo! [...]
It’s that time of year: finals fever. Battling through the cold Canberra winter night trainings and trekking halfway to Cooma for southside games, we are finally at the pinnacle of the the competition. JA plays his grand final game today for his team Canberra Olympic, against their arch-rivals ANU. Last year they were undefeated the [...]
If you don’t already know me, then you also probably don’t know what I do, in life. You know, to earn a buck. I’m a teacher that looks like a student. I’m halfway through my second year of teaching college (in Canberra, Australia, that’s year 11 & 12. 16-18 year olds). I look about 17. [...]

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 [...]
