    Zara DogDog on the school run Review

    As a mummy of 3 (including the dog) I was delighted to read this new story book from Zara Dogdog We’ve not yet done the ‘school run’ ourselves but when September comes and we can hopefully walk to school, I plan to take our crazy Spaniel with us so this book seemed quite appropriate. The book series is aimed at children 3 plus so my 4 year old loved it and really listened to the moral of the story. The moral being, how to behave safely around a dog, read a dogs body language

    The Act Of kindness

    I’m nearing 30 and feeling very sentimental about a lot of things particularly the friends I have made. Recently I posted a go fund me campaign to help raise funds to fix my dogs broken leg. I never imagined so many people to donate. Friends of the past and friends I made a week ago. Most of whom have never even met my dog and those who have also know how annoying he can be when they come over. I also had some total strangers donate which I never believed would happen. People

    Decisions for Dudley

    Last Thursday started as a completely normal day apart from it was my husbands first day off for the summer, so I dropped Alana to pre school and took the dog for a walk in the park whilst he stayed at home with Mila. I picked up two poos and threw the ball with the stick thing as I always do for my hyperactive Spaniel who loves to play. Our walk had nearly finished and I threw the ball and he didn’t return, I looked over and he was sat looking at me holding out his front paw

    The Pros of having a Dog with Children

    I wanted to write this post for anyone contemplating getting a dog when you already have children. We actually got our dog (Dudley) just as I’d fallen pregnant with my first child. He’s a complete nutter Sprocker Spaniel which is a Springer crossed with a working cocker. He’s 100% mental. There was always the worry that he may become jealous once the baby came along. That never happened. Dudley quickly realised once Alana got bigger and began to move that it was another perso

    Mum + Work = Wine

    An honest blog about being a Mumpreneur and creating the perfect Work/life balance! What I’ve done today- Starting from 2am- woke up to give my 3 year old calpol (not an every day occurrence). 5am- Woke up again to a poorly toddler who screamed when I told her she couldn’t have Calpol. 7:30am- Woke up to a moaning toddler, took her downstairs to put CBeebies on. 8am-10am- Fed toddler, washed up, got dressed, got toddler dressed, put on a wash, dealt with poo in knickers, fed

    A Dog & a Toddler

    Dudley isn’t just any dog, he’s our dog! We got Dudley when he was 8 weeks old and I was 5 weeks pregnant! I’d grown up with dogs and always wanted one for my own family. When I was signed off sick during pregnancy he was there. He’s follow me to the toilet and cuddle up to me on the sofa and lie on my bump. When I went to the hospital and was told they were going to induce me straight away I cried! Not for any other reason than I hadn’t said goodbye to Dudley and when we ret
