I had no maid/help at all in the first two years of my daughters life.. so she used to be strapped on to me in a harness till she was about 14 months. I have done sweeping, swabbing, cooking and even played football with my son while all the time she was on me. She […]

‘Good Homes‘ lent their support in publicizing my love for the dogs 🙂 ahead of the Kala Ghoda festival. Thank you!
