Well. 2 years of fighting. Lots of energy wasted on professionals sending us around in loops. Lots of damage added by not having the correct support in place and we finally got funding approved. Intervention offered: Intensive family therapy. It was approved at the end of February, we had the whole course of therapy approved … Continue reading Adoption Support Fund and Therapy

A Mother’s Day out…
I know it's over with, but as I say, I am trying to catch up with what we've been up to. So this year, I felt that I should mention Mother's Day. In previous year mentioning it would have been only to moan about how much I do and how it's just one day out … Continue reading A Mother’s Day out…
Making Babies: not what you think
There have been many discussions about how babies are made, but this was not one of those situations. This was a situation where the children were feeling a bit upset by the fact they don't really know anything about them as babies - which is completely understandable. We have got some information about the date … Continue reading Making Babies: not what you think
St Patricks Day
We try to mark each occasion that comes along, talk about what it is meant to represent and then do some fun activity to celebrate it in some way. So for St Patricks day after our talk, we made some rainbowed cakes... this was a very messy, long and fun(ny) activity. With a very tasty … Continue reading St Patricks Day
Review: Haven Devon Cliffs, Platinum Caravan
The week leading up to our house purchase completion, I had booked me and the children a caravan at a Haven park, Devon Cliffs in Exmouth. I have been to this park many times since I was a child and watched the changes it has undergone, and in all honesty, I am not really a … Continue reading Review: Haven Devon Cliffs, Platinum Caravan

We, having booked for Christmas and knowing the children's Christmas issues, booked a revisit for January. We booked a St … Continue reading Review: Bluestone revisited Jan 18
30 Days Wild – Day 4
So, today... me and the two children woke up feeling sorry for ourselves (sneezy and sluggish). So it's been a bit of a slow starter. But we made some effort to clean and dress... and then after lunch took a stroll into town via the ducks and geese armed with birdseed. Very proud that the … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 4
30 Days Wild – Day 2
Today our activity spent getting closer to nature was being in our garden. When purchased our house, there was a section of garden 90 by 13 ft covered in bramble, bindweed, nettles and other various things. Under the canopy of leaves was glass, broken cans, rubbish etc. So to make it safe for the children, … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 2
30 Days Wild – Day 1
After missing out on it last year, due to moving, I wanted to make sure that this year was different... that we made time for our "Random acts of wildness" this year with the Wildlife Trusts' "30 day's wild". We are a family that do well outdoors, in nature. We go a bit mad all … Continue reading 30 Days Wild – Day 1
Just updating…
So, another busy week in the Chaos household. Still getting sorted from the house purchase, been cleaning the old house and getting that emptied. And somehow trying to keep the children occupied, and mostly succeeding. Next week, if all goes to plan, we will be giving the keys to our old house back and saying … Continue reading Just updating…
