It’s my last week of school holidays and we’re going down the coast tomorrow for a little holiday before I have to go back to work. And I just got sick. Today. BAH. Bah I say to that! I thought it was heyfever but it’s definitely hanging around, stuffy head, sneezing, hot… blah. I refuse [...]
Taking my cue from Julaberry, I’m going to take a moment to revel in the fact that it is now summer, and think about all the things that I LOVE about this season. The main things I posted in a comment to her post: ohhhh I could go on forever and ever, the things I [...]
I have to say it, today was amazing. The South Coast of Australia is THE place to go. We spent most of the day on a great little beach at Broulee, with the dogs running around freely having a wee of a time. It wasn’t quite warm enough to swim (for the humans), but we went out on the Kayak, saw some dolphins, played fetch with the dogs and just relaxed, it was really great.
I did get sun burnt on the way home in the car though =[

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 [...]

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 [...]
