Passions

I know it’s more of a me thing but, does anyone else feel empty. My husband has his own business that he loves and I just live off of it. I want my own passion, my own income, something I can be proud of on my own while caring for our baby. What do you guys do or suggest?

Children are complete opposites

Is it a gender thing? Being the oldest vs the youngest? Personality? My 5yro daughter is such a kind, easy child.

She makes it easy ...

(uk only please) has anyone had a 3 bedroom house deep clean by a professional cleaner, how much did it cost?

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom house and the current owners have 5 pets and the house smells of animals. Due to the fact that am allergic to dog fur, we would need the house deep cleaned before I can even move in. I just want a rough idea of how much that might cost.
