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
Despite the best intentions – including buying a specific Caribbean cruise travel book – the extent of my Caribbean research amounted to scrolling through Instagram using various hashtags, and getting lost in other people’s photos.

We hadn’t really thought about this year’s holiday until New Year’s Day, when we had some news that just made us want to make Read More
Turtle Bay Swansea opened a couple of months ago, and I’ve been keen to try it out after hearing good reviews about the Cardiff branch.
