A couple of weeks ago we had a fab day out watching the Wales v England rugby international at the Principality Stadium. It was our two boys’ first experience of a big rugby match, and they were lucky enough to see Wales win at home. It’s definitely something I’d like to do with them again

Wales v England: A special first rugby international, and a home ground win #ForTheJersey (AD)
Having two boys and living in Wales means I have no hope of avoiding rugby. We’ve already had stick for the eldest playing football and constantly kicking around the “wrong shaped ball”, and he’s only five! So when we were offered the chance to go and watch Wales v England at the Principality Stadium at
Autumn days out: Pumpkin picking at Penyfodau Fawr, Gowerton
Pumpkin picking has become a little autumn tradition of ours, and one I really look forward to. There’s nothing better than heading out as a family on a sunny autumn day, armed with my camera and the aim of choosing a load of pumpkins to decorate. The past few years we’ve tried a few different
Family days out – planning a fossil hunting adventure on the Jurassic Coast
*this is a sponsored post, but all words are mine* As a travel-loving family, we’re always on the hunt for our next adventure – and there are so many places on our list! We have two young boys who enjoy nothing more than exploring the outdoors, and we’re so lucky that we live on the
Cheap family days out: An autumn treasure hunt at Pembrey Country Park
Yesterday, we made the most of a sunny October day to try a new family activity – we had a go at a DIY autumn treasure hunt. It was free (well, almost), got us all out of the house for something we could do together, and was a lot of fun. I love this time
Exploring caves and dinosaurs at Dan yr Ogof National Showcaves for Wales – Family days out in South Wales
Exploring deep, dark underground caves, and walking surrounded by dinosaurs – the Dan r Ogof National Showcaves Centre for Wales has it all! I hadn’t been to Dan yr Ogof since a school trip more years ago than I’d like to admit (or even remember), and Stew didn’t think he’d ever been. So when we
Jurassic Kingdom in Cardiff review: Dinosaurs at Bute Park
ON Thursday night, I told our boys we were taking them to the park the next day. It was a new park that we’d never been to before – Bute Park, in Cardiff.I asked what they thought we might see there, and was give the answer “foxes, or owls”, and a look of ridicule when
A day trip to St Davids city, with Britax Advansafix III
We’re the kind of family who love a day trip, and will find any excuse to visit somewhere new. I’ve said it before, but when you work full time and only have two days off a week, you have to make the most of them. When we were very kindly gifted a Britax Advansafix III
Autumn fun: Pumpkin picking at Brooksgrove Farm, Haverfordwest
Ok, ok. I know it’s a proper blogger cliché, but I couldn’t resist it. This weekend we went pumpkin picking at Brooksgrove Farm, in Haverfordwest. And I’m so glad we did as I think I’ve ended up with the nicest set of photos of the boys to date. We had two choices of farms for
Hunting barnacles, and the “monster” of Burry Port beach
THIS evening wasn’t your usual Tuesday evening. We came home from work as normal, ate tea as normal, and then went hunting for the monster of Burry Port (barnacles to you and me). Yup, you read it right, we went barnacle hunting. Both me and Stew had read about a “mystery monster” that had washed
