Autumn, you wonderful thing!

So Autumn, you’re back again, and this year you are also very welcome. I’ve felt this years summer has lasted forever. This may be due to the fact I’ve had 5 months off university and so many life changing events have happened to me in such a short period of time. I’ve had a lot of spare time on my hands giving me chance to do things I’ve never done before such as starting youtube and blogging. So yes, summer you have been a healthy and fun break but I’m ready for the colder months now. It’s now the time to hear those leaves crunching under my feet and the cold breeze hitting my face whilst still being kept warm from the shining, glowing sun. I can't wait to get back from work or uni and snuggle up in a blanket, put some scented candles on, watch a horror film and drink some hot chocolate. I’m also excited at the thought of dressing up my own house for Halloween and carving pumpkins.

Another one of my favourite things about this time of year is how you can adapt and change how you dress, transitioning summer wear to autumn wear. This is all done through layering, also big jumpers and boots. People start digging to the back of the wardrobe and pulling out those last year’s coats, jumpers and hats for some extra warmth when going about on their travels. I feel autumn isn’t something that is celebrated as much in this country because our country isn’t well known for glorious hot summers (although we have been quite lucky this year) but I feel people forget to appreciate how gorgeous this time of the year can be. For instance, the sunsets are simply breath taking! The type of 'stop-what-your-doing-and-watch-the-sky' sunsets. I've been know to pull over in the car to the side of the road, and watch the sun go down.. the warmth and beauty of Autumn just makes me feel so warm and happy inside.

I love you Autumn and I’m so glad you’re back.

Being A Dog Mom/ Milo Turns One

Well hello there, welcome to my first ever blog post. I’m sure you’ve guessed by the title what It’s going to be about! That’s right, Milo. My playful, inquisitive, one year old puppy. I’m not to sure why I thought about starting a blog besides having my youtube, I think its because I feel I can go into more depth about one subject, possibly? Or because I always have too much to say and I don’t want to edit out certain things of my life. Maybe it’s that I want to document in detail my life so I can look back on this one day and think, ‘god Emily, you we’re such a dick.’ 

As an introductory blog post I wanted this to be personal and something about me I guess. Which is why I chose to write about Milo. This almost seemed fitting too, because Milo is one years old tomorrow! He is also the most important thing in my life. Seems a tad dramatic to say something like that, but its honestly true. If you are a child-less, dog mad person – I feel like you would agree. He takes so much of my day up and my whole routine is based around him. He is so special to us (Josh and I) it’s very often we will just sit and watch him or laugh at the stupid things he does. For example last night he made one of his ears go down behind his head so he looked like he had one ear, and when we said ‘Where’s your ear gone’ he shot it back up help it for a few seconds and then flopped it back down. This repeated over and over and kept the 3 of us amused for a good 15 minutes. Sometimes its just the simple things he does that make me love him so much, the way he follows me like a shadow, the way he flaps his tongue around when waiting for you to through the ball to how he sneaks into bed with me every morning for a cuddle. 

I make having Milo seems like such a walk in the park, It’s really not. Sometimes its so hard it brings me tears. Luckily I haven’t done this in a while! But there are times when I want to kill him! The times he poos on my new carpets, or is sick on my new rugs (admittedly he is was poorly both times) even the time he chewed all the tea coasters! Even though he has got a naughty streak he soon redeems himself and all is forget (except the time he chewed the back off my new pair of vans!) Generally Milo is a really good boy he’s obedient, loving and hilarious. He really does make my day worth living and its always nice to have his company and love when im feeling down and need it the most. Best part about it, Milo just lies then and hugs me without talking which means, no back chat, no sarcasm and complete honesty. If he’s in a grump he will let me know and I know exactly where I stand with him, not like most humans. 


So yeah, I don’t really want to write to much about him because although I find him the most interesting thing in the world, im not sure you will. But basically, this post is just to say ‘Happy birthday Moo-Moo’ you special little dog.
