ADHD and me

This year I was formally diagnosed with ADHD. Crazy eh? I’m almost 30 and I learn that I have a disorder typically diagnosed in young boys. I have slowly come to terms with the diagnosis and suddenly my life makes so much sense: The noise in my head , the feeling of being a bit...

Bella and the hound illustrations

Starting my own little business has been a dream, an unexpected dream, but a dream all the same. I create personalised prints and illustrations, pet portraits, digital artwork and more. And I love it with all my soul! I started drawing again in may 2020 when I was poorly with long COVID . I drew...

The New “Bucket list”

Recently I’ve been thinking about all the things I want to do. All the little and big things I would like to experience or achieve. Last year my wonderful husband took me away for a surprise holiday and in that week we did lots of things from my “bucket list”: Stroked a giraffe, went wine...

30 life lessons by 30.

Well my birthday is Monday, at I’m the big three zero. I feel like I’m hit with a life lesson every week at the moment. 1. Life will keep surprising you: it seems like life will never be predictable. Whether it’s something bad lurking around the corner or something spectacular ready to jump out at...

Bucket list update :89.Ride a Segway.

I totally recommend riding a Segway. They are bloody fun! Controlled by weight distribution they are easy to drive and go faster than you think . Karl and I where gifted our day out for Christmas by my Dad and Step Mum and it was one of the best gifts we have ever had as...

8 Months old!

Happy gotcha day Duke!

5 years ago today we took home a large , crazy , misunderstood puppy. 8 months old: full of energy and frightened of EVERYTHING. Untrained, unpredictable , unruly but the only dog I wanted from the second I laid eyes on him. He’s made us a better couple: He has taught us to work together,...

2021…. it’s been an interesting year

Last year brings a mixture of feeling: happy memories , big changes, lots of personal growth. It’s also another year of strangeness, complicated rules and a general feeling of "what's next?" and "when will this end" I am of course referring to the ongoing corona virus saga. 2021 was busy: I had to dental surgeries,...

30 weeks : Christmas, cuddles, confidence and bird chases

I haven't updated on hazard! With Christmas new year and starting 2022 it’s been so busy. She is 30 weeks old and I can’t figure out where on earth the time has gone. She is so confident on and off the lead exploring different walks ; running in and out of bushes , long grass,...

27 weeks : snuggles, seaside, sleep overs and sheep poop.

So hazard definitely ate some sheep poop! Little monkey. Apparently it’s a delicious snack (yuck). She’s been to the cove for the first time and had her buddy Lola stay. Honestly she has a better social life than I do. She is definitely better at making friends. She’s doing really well with her training, but...

26 weeks : Christmas trees, fancy dress and new tug toys.

26 weeks old ! Another busy week , hazard has encountered her first Christmas tree, has donned antlers and learnt about Christmas tree decorations- and so far she hasn’t eaten any so we are winning!! She has sniffed them so far but that’s it. Not like duke’s first Christmas where he ate at least 4...
