Getting rid of fleas when you have young children

We recently took Maisie to the groomers. When we collected her, she looked absolutely beautiful. However, I was in for a nasty surprise. During the groom, her groomer had spotted some small fleas around her tail area. I hadn’t noticed any signs from her behaviour and fortunately, things were early on. This would hopefully allow us to nip things in the bud quickly. Several years ago when Cassie had fleas, we used flea bombs and sprays from pet shops which worked well. Yet, with a crawling baby in the house I was not keen on taking this approach again. I remember how the sprays and bombs got into my chest and made me cough. I definitely wouldn’t like my young children to breathe it in. So, how could I effectively get rid of the fleas?

What Happens When You Don’t Take Time For Yourself

Collaborative Post¦ Taking time for yourself is something each and everyone of us needs to do. But you’re a busy mum, and that means you’ve got maybe 5 minutes per day to dedicate entirely for yourself. What are you to do here?

If you don’t, it’s easy to feel down and out about your own body, and that doesn’t do you or the kids any favours at all! To help you out with such a monumental task, we’ve listed below both the signs and solutions to not taking time for yourself. 

8 Tips When Buying Your First Car

Reuben’s Seaside Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash

I’m not always overly keen some of the celebrations and often gimmicky type things that we import from the US. However, I do really like cake smashes to celebrate a baby’s 1st birthday. There’s just something so cute about setting up a little scene and seeing how they react to the cake. We celebrated Autumn’s 1st birthday with a rose gold themed cake smash and it was the first time she’d ever tried cake. When Reuben’s 1st birthday approached in January, I knew I wanted us to celebrate his 1st birthday with a cake smash too! He had also never tried cake before and I was interested to see how he’d respond.

We’re still very much in the midst of renovating our house, but I want to decorate his nursery with a seaside theme. We recently got the photos back and once again Robert Marriott has helped make the ideas I pictured in my head a reality. The photos will look so gorgeous displayed in there!
