Normally when things get tough I like to escape to

Normally when things get tough I like to escape to the West Coast of Sweden for the night...but my friend who I steal the photos from has managed to sneak off on a holiday (apparently people are still flying during a pandemic 🤷🏼‍♀️)so you can find me here this evening. Anyone want to join me?

Cat 1: Oh oh. Cat 2: This sure smells familiar.

Cat 1: Oh oh.
Cat 2: This sure smells familiar.
Cat 1: Is this number 6?
Cat 2: I've lost track.
Cat 1: At what point did they start naming cyclones instead of counting them?
Cat 2: Are you suggesting we name the lockdowns?
Cat 1: Yep.
Cat 2: Lockdown Sally?
Cat 1: Perfect.

Question…was the 🦇LIVE🦇 yesterday too blur

Question...was the 🦇LIVE🦇 yesterday too blurry? Were you able to understand what the raf*le is about or should we have a take 2? 🎬

#batmonkeyRAFFLEThere are 100 "camp sites." Eac

#batmonkeyRAFFLEThere are 100 "camp sites."
Each camp site is $5.
Once all campsites are gone one lucky winner will be picked and receive our first ever
#batmonkey🦇🐒1. Comment below on how many camp site numbers you want.
2. Message me to confirm how many.
3. I will then message back with my bank details.
4. You then screenshot your bank transfer to confirm.
5. You cross your fingers to win 🤞🏽All the money will go to @friendsofedwardeslake to buy equipment to help the wildlife in Reservoir 🦇(None of this has anything to do with Facebook or Insta blah blah blah....)

🦇 I asked Kate from @friendsofedwardeslake what

🦇 I asked Kate from @friendsofedwardeslake what the $500 from the raf*le we're launching this afternoon will go to and decided it was just easier to screenshot her response.But in a nutshell it's not just bats that will be helped with the money but also owls...which is why I thought today being #internationalowlawarenessday is a great day to launch. But to be honest I also thought #nationaltreeday would be perfect which was a couple of days ago but I just wasn't organised enough to make it happen 🙊All that to say...bats, owls, trees and more will be positively impacted by this. And yes...it's a micro micro micro input...however, that seems to be the way we roll here in the Happily Made village. And honestly..I love helping on a micro level since it seems to bypass a lot of the paperwork bull💩 that steals all the joy out of the process 🙈If you're wanting more info just have a look at our LIVE that will be happening today after 4PM 🦇

Just had a catch up with my web fairy who explained to me how to write blogs on my website without needing her help every time 💪🏾That's been my hesitation until now. Wish me luck. Me & technology are not the best of friends but it almost feels doable 🤞🏼

I had so many people ask me for the recipe for the muffins I baked a couple of days ago. Unfortunately it's a recipe I've used since I was 7 (or probably younger) years old so I just throw things in 🤷🏼‍♀️So yesterday I decided to make it again...this time as a cake...and actually pay attention to what I do and I even wrote it down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I'll be posting it on my @patreon page later today. And in case you haven't checked it out, every subscriber has access to the same content. So for example, people who support me with $5 a month see the same recipes or articles I write as someone who supports me with $20 a month. The ONLY difference is for the people who sign up to receive a Happily Made gift sent to them or a friend every month (which is the $50 option) 💛All that to say I made a lemon & blueberry jam gluten free cake and it was delicious! 🥳www.bit.ly/HappilyMade

🦇 Friendly reminder that the #batmonkey RAF*LE

🦇 Friendly reminder that the #batmonkey RAF*LE is happening TODAY!! Stay tuned for a LIVE this afternoon after 4PM 🦇🦇 I'll explain all the details then but it involves nesting boxes, red light torches and MICRO BATS!! 🦇🦇 I'm suuuuuuuuper excited (or is that #batshitcrazy? 🙊) because I've been wanting to contribute towards the local wildlife for a long time and finally I have an opportunity to do that. In the bigger scheme of things $500 isn't much but in this case it will actually make a big difference! 🦇🦇 So if you've fallen in love with #batmonkey that I've been creating the past couple of weeks or if you feel passionate about protecting Australian wildlife...you don't want to miss out on this raf*le 🦇

Cat 1: Can we open our eyes yet?
Cat 2: Not yet.
Cat 1: How many photos is she taking?
Cat 2: At least a catrillion.
Cat 1: I don't understand why we can't have our eyes open.
Cat 2: She wants us to look asleep so people associate the blankets with comfort and relaxation.
Cat 1: I can be comfortable and relaxed with my eyes open.
Cat 2: Me too.
Cat 1: So can we open our eyes yet?
Cat 2: Not yet.

Totally random…but I thought I recognised Warhol

Totally random...but I thought I recognised Warholm's name...and sure enough it was the name of the address I lived on until I was 7 years old. In fact, the longest I've lived anywhere 🙂To confirm I googled and it's just sooooooo weird seeing my childhood home and such familiar places I had totally forgotten...and the local bakery that I of course could NEVER forget 😄When friends find out I grew up in Sweden they imagine me living in one of those red houses with white trimming...not exactly accurate 🙃

Every so often I meet another business owner who "gets it". Without me having to explain they realise that they are in a position to help me out because of their experience or success. And these aren't "successful business owners" with huge influence...just normal people who are a few steps ahead of me.
In the same way that I love rallying around someone who has a challenge that I can support with a bit of effort from my end.
To me that's really at the heart of who I am and who I want to align myself with.These were my thoughts today as I drove past a cafe that's now closed down but were honestly just so lovely to me when I really needed a bit of a lift from someone "stronger" than me.And funnily enough this photo popped up on my timeline memories of that exact business so clearly it's a sign from the universe yeah? 😄🙈💛🙉🙃🙊😇

I've been out this evening trying to get photos of bats...and unfortunately only one showed up for the photoshoot so #batmonkey stepped in to help 🦇The reason why I wanted photos of bats was that I've got a very very special raf*le happening on Wednesday afternoon and I wanted to give you guys a bit of a warning since I'm pretty sure the 100 numbers will go pretty quickly 🦇I'll have more details tomorrow and I'm still deciding on a name for the cause and so far all I've got is #batshitcrazy 🙊

Oh wow. This 11 year old memory just popped up fro

Oh wow. This 11 year old memory just popped up from our time in Cambodia 🌴One of my embroidery ladies had a baby so me and my daughter walked across the road to bring a small gift. Only to realise that the new mother & baby were wet from the rain that had poured in overnight.I think it was 24 hours later or maybe even less that a few friends on Facebook had given enough money for us to pay for a new home to be built.
Only to then find out that the village chief wouldn't allow it since they were on the land illegally and he had turned a blind eye because he knew how poor they were. So that caused a few headaches but sure enough...about 3 days later a few more friends had joined in and we were able to buy them a tiny piece of land about 300m away 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽And they ended up with a great new place that even had a "chicken!" (I looooove how Cambodians seem to always say chicken instead of kitchen 😄)All this to say...I often have people tell me how dangerous & negative social media is...and yes. It is. It's also wonderful & heart-warming and can literally change people's lives. I truly believe social media is what we make it. And there is so much opportunity to help others through micro giving 🌱
