Holidaying with two young children can be tricky as we want to make sure we choose somewhere we can all enjoy. For me, that means staying somewhere pretty, where I feel like we’re getting away from it all. For Stew it means finding new places to see. And for the boys it means having the Read More
“This is AWESOME!” With his foam finger in the air, blowing his horn and jumping up and down, we had one excited little boy as the Monster Jam trucks revved their engines on Saturday afternoon. We’d been invited to watch Monster Jam at Cardiff Principality Stadium, and to be completely honest I had no idea Read More
“Tomorrow, I’m coming back here and I’M going to smell the dead fox, and I’M going to see it.” Ladies and gentlemen, I give you *the* most ridiculous tantrum of all time. It started off as a lovely idea. Let’s make the most of a sunny Saturday afternoon and head to Clyne Gardens in Swansea Read More

Looking for ways to entertain a nearly four-year-old on a long haul flight was pretty daunting, but we made sure we were well equipped with books, games and toys for the eight-and-a-half hour journey to Barbados. As part of our bag of tricks was a Leapfrog Leapstart system, which we were hoping would keep him Read More

I kind of feel like we haven’t really stopped since getting home from our holiday – it’s been a hectic old month! I’ve been trying to write up our cruise diaries, and have kind of neglected any other kind of post, so I thought I’d just do a little round-up of what we’ve been up Read More
YOU might quickly spot a theme if you follow our Caribbean cruise posts, as we spent a fair bit of time enjoying the beach. It’s funny really as we live by the sea, but wouldn’t spend an afternoon on the sand at home. Being in the Caribbean, it felt rude not to, so we made the Read More
