Blogging for Blogs sake

Were going to Disney on Ice on 22 May. I wanted to make Mia something Minnie Mousish. I bought her some mouse ears and a tail. Heres the skirt I came up with:

My first attempt at making Cinnamon and chocolate chip rolls with cream cheese icing. Was freaking delicious! I made the recipe up myself so hopefully I can replicate it again.
Finn started playing soccer for Papakura City Real Madrid a few weeks ago. He usually goes all over the place, comes off for a drink and a feed, needs to go toilet...all during his games. Last weekend only Daddy went with him and what do you know.....he won Player of the Day!!!
Made Mia a ruffle skirt out of some yellow knit fabric I op-shopped. I saw a skirt similar in a Home & Garden magazine and was keen to replicate it. She told me she doesn't like the skirt..hahaha. Here it is:

John Mayer - Battle Studies 2010






Went to John Mayer on his Battle Studies Tour Wednesday 28th April 2010 at Vector Arena in Auckland. Let me just say it was AMAZING! The live acoustics are unbeatable.

A yummy dinner at Monsoon Poon was the perfect start to the evening.
Got to Vector where me and my sis (Ngatihine) got our official merchandise. Then went up to get our crappy seats. Whilst in the foyer looking for the right door to crappiness, some random lady came up to us. How long have you been fans? Whats your favourite song? When did you get your tickets? Why are you all the way up here? "Must be weird a strange lady asking you all these random questions. Well listen, I have 2 front row tickets that I want you to have. Make sure you wave to me". I was freaking awe struck, gave her the biggest hug of her life and said thank you....probably a million times. Turns out she was his back-up singer. If only I had known this earlier hahaha.

The concert was amazing...the seats were the best in the house. Dead centre in front of John Mayer performing. We were able to see every single detail, from all the many faces he pulls whilst singing, turning of the guitar knobs (haha) everything!!




I officially ♥ John Mayer

Favourite song of the night: Gravity
Ps. I dont care how douchy his comments may be....hahahaha
