Is it worth taking a toddler to Legoland Windsor? It’s a question I’ve been asked a lot since we visited the theme park a few weeks ago* (read our top tips here). It’s a lot of money to spend on a day out, and it’s a two hour drive for us...
I have a lot of friends who are mums. Mums of babies. Mums of toddlers. Mums of pre-schoolers. Mums of school-age kids. Mums of teenagers and beyond. Mums with toddlers and teens. Mums of one child, mums of two, three, four and more. Mums with twins. Mums with twins and...

I wasn’t going to write about our trip to Legoland Windsor Resort because we weren’t there in an official reviewing capacity. I put a couple of photos up over on my Instagram, and that was going to be it. However, ever since our trip two weeks ago, I’ve had so...
Today was one of those days where I had so many urgent things I had to get done that I ended up plonking my toddler in front of the television for more hours than I’d like to admit to. As I said to Cardiff Daddy when he got home from...

If you’re as old as me, you’ll remember Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat from the early 1990s. Revived for the stage in 1991 after a 10 year absence, it was huge back then. Heartthrob of the day Jason Donovan starred in the lead role, followed by children’s television presenter...
