Searching the beach.





Today we stopped at the beach on the way to a Craft fair to search the beach for some treasure this is what we found, some lovely sea glass, drift wood and a heart shaped stone. Matthews behaviour has really improved over the last few days with a star chat in place and he really enjoyed doing this activity. Defiantly going to become a tradition for our collection :)






Treat Tuesday

For the past few weeks we have been very busy trying to find ways to keep Matthew happy and good, he has been some what trying to say the least, we have implemented some new routines and one will include treat Tuesday where Matthew and the rest of the family will get a treat for good behaviour, good for the diet too as this will be a day for us to have something nice and to look forward too :)

What do you do on the sunniest day of the year?

We had the most beautiful day yesterday so far of this year so as to not waste it we headed to the beach, there was a gentle wind but we backed up against the sea wall and sat under an umbrella and enjoyed a picnic.

The best way to finish of a day when everyone is hot have a water fight :)

Matthew's Room

Our home is still very much a work in progress with still much decorating and transformation to take place in many rooms, I have been working on trying to finish Matthew's room with adding some handmade art work here and there, I would like to add a desk somewhere maybe at the bottom of the bed and then it will be finally complete.


Here is Matthew's bunk bed a bargain for £50 found at the recycling centre I spent a day sanding it and coating in teak oil, and building it up. I only needed one new mattress as we all ready had one.


This monogram button M was such fun to make and use up some of my masses of buttons, also made an A for when I decorate Aidan's room.

Sweet toys loved by my boy,



Old and new love them all :)



Lots of books for a wee bookworm
