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 Read More
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 Read More
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).

OVER the past few months our toddler has been getting more and more into films, and loves watching Spider-Man and The Avengers – in particular Hulk – when he’s not stomping around the house singing the Darth Vadar music, of course. So when we were invited to a Hamleys superhero party at Hamleys Cardiff there Read More
WHEN you have more than one child, finding time to spend one-on-one with them can be difficult. So when I was invited to experience a new Hamleys superhero party in Cardiff I thought it would be a great chance to have a day alone with my eldest son. Santi is three, and I can’t remember Read More
AS you’ll be well aware, this weekend was the hottest of the year so far. 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
