Howdy,

Straying away from the house build posts today because (as usual) no progress has been made. So instead of getting frustrated, I am putting all of my creative energy into content creating and teaching.

If you didn't know, on the first weekend of the QLD School holidays, Alex (from @whattheteacherwears) hosted a fantastic Brisbane Teachers 'insta' meet event. 

It was held at 'Darling & Co' and it was just absolutely lovely to see Brisbane's gorgeous teachers out in force. Seriously though? Who knew Brisbane's teachers were so stunning and fashion forward?

I had a brilliant day meeting other like-minded people and seeing fellow bloggers and teachers, it was truly a unique little experience. Well done Alex on a wonderfully successful event! I almost forgot to mention - we all received a goody bag with a range of marvy gifts inside. The posters from TeachStarter were a stand out of me. Great day: check. Classroom Decor: Check.

Hi all,

A lot of you guys have been asking for a house update. So here I am with a quick one, because absolutely nothing new has happened. My letter of commencement was sent to Homes By CMA last week by the bank. I had to send an email to get them to confirm this and then they mentioned they were in the process of finding me a site supervisor. This must take a long time (anybody know?) because I am still yet to hear from them and I have been given no dates as to when my house build is actually going to commence.

Right now I am feeling like my money has been taken and now I don't really matter.

In saying that, it has been Easter and people are allowed to enjoy their holidays but still... communication is key people!

Even if it was just an email saying 'Hi Maddie, we will be out of office on this day, your site supervisor will be assigned to you on this day and your land will be scrapped on this day'. 

Maybe as a teacher this is just something that I continually do and something that I am just used to.

I am still (in saying this) very happy with Homes by CMA thus far - lets just hope this is a general hick up or something that is unavoidable due to the Easter Holidays.

As always wonderful people, leave your comments or questions below - don't have an account? Email me at maddielouisemedia@gmail.com

Love,

Maddie

If you haven't seen the live action Beauty and the Beast yet, you are kidding yourself.

As probably the biggest fan of B&B ever - yes I know the whole movie off by heart, word for word (and not even slightly kidding) I had to get on the Mink Pink bandwagon and grab one of the pieces from the new collection. Mink Pink have collaborated with Disney to make probably the best clothing collection I have ever experienced. 

So really, this is just an appreciation post, to let you guys know how amazing the movie was (I was set up for disappointment, so trust me) and to let you guys know that this AMAZING MINK PINK collection exists. Go. Buy. It. All. Now.

I am desperate for the jeans with the roses on! What do you guys think? 

Yes, I wore this EXACT outfit to the cinema to watch the movie and I am going again soon.
