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 Read More
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 Read More
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 Read More

It was crazy hot!I’d been looking forward to spending the weekend outdoors enjoying the sun … but it turned out that wasn’t entirely possible because of the heat. On Saturday we woke up with no plans, and as usual decided Read More
ONE of our failsafe weekend activities if we have no plans is to visit WWT Llanelli for a few hours. It’s big enough for the boys to burn off some energy, but not so big that it feels like a mission to get around. Plus there’s a lovely new park, a small soft play area Read More
We’re always on the lookout for family days out in South Wales – places we haven’t been to, that we’ve read about or seen other people enjoy. One of our favourite places to visit is Carreg Cennen Castle, and we realised earlier this year that we hadn’t yet been with the boys. Making the most Read More
I’M not usually one for getting into the Christmas spirit before December, but this weekend we had an offer that made us dig out the festive jumpers a week early – we were invited to meet Father Christmas at Hamleys in Cardiff. The store was launching its Father Christmas experience, so we took Santi and Ezra along Read More
