Lovely to meet you!
Firstly let me start by thank you for visiting our new website! This is my first blog so please bare with me :-)
We are a family of 4, myself, Ryan, Autumn & Emilia. We live in Carlisle to the south east of the city. We currently have 4 cats and another who visits us regularly for food! Both of our children are under 10 and currently learning how to ride a bike which has led us into uncharted territory with parenting. Managing disappointment and expectations with two small children can be challenging but not as challenging as mastering how to steer a bike; where we have seen our first bike related injury. Nothing major just a few scrapes and grazes but a lesson learned regarding why Mum advised wearing appropriate clothing! We shall try again today so wish me luck :-)
We established the business in 2016 after deciding we wanted to spend more time with each other as a family. We both come from management background and often the hours were long and challenging to a family dynamic. We started up part time and slowly built the business up to a point where in 2018 we went full time! We have added various services along the way such as oven cleaning in 2017, gardening in 2018 etc. It was a learning curve at first as we needed to master the dreaded tax return, social media and marketing. Im slowly getting better and picking bits up so hopefully Im learning!
We are keen to travel although through commitments and work we havent managed much in recent years. The Northern Lights and South Africa are on the bucket list along with a trip to Disney so hopefully 2021 has more success than 2020! We are lucky enough to live so close to the majestic Lake District. We visit frequently throughout the year as it holds a very special place in our hearts. We were married in 2014 on the shores of Ullswater which seems like yesterday but its 6 years this June! Scary how quick time fly’s.
Before I sign off, let me thank you again for taking the time to visit the page and read this blog. Ill be doing some more so keep your eyes peeled :-)
