We paid for our tickets to School of Rock ourselves and the theatre did not know we would be writing this review. This review was originally written in July 2018. I’ve updated it today after the news that School of Rock the musical is coming to Wales Millennium Centre in...
We’re back with another round-up of books we’ve enjoyed reading recently. Some of them are new releases, some of them are old favourites. There’s a mixture of fiction and factual as well as picture books and chapter books. Some we own ourselves, others are borrowed from our local library. All...
Thanks to Alexandra’s Enchanted Garden for providing us with press tickets in exchange for this review. Wow, what a magical evening we had at Alexandra’s Enchanted Garden in Penarth on Friday evening. We’re so glad we braved the rain for the opening night of the light installation at Alexandra...
The schools are out and it’s officially half term in South Wales. There’s plenty going on for families with everything from a giant dinosaur and a light installation trail to bird box making, free craft sessions and even a science festival taking place over the coming week. I’ve included everything...
Paid collaboration with Working Wales I was really nervous about pressing publish on my recent post about how, now that my children are all at school, I want to get my career back on track and was off to see a Working Wales careers adviser. It’s really hard to put...
Well, this is certainly something you don’t see every day! The UK’s largest animatronic Tyrannosaurus-Rex has arrived at Mermaid Quay – and it’s certainly rather impressive.

Paid collaboration with National Museum Cardiff “Was it spooky?” and “Did you get any sleep?”. These are the first two things people have been asking me when I tell them we spent the night at National Museum Cardiff on Saturday night. My children and I were there for Museum Sleepover...
This photo popped up in my Facebook memories recently. I remember the day so well. My daughter, our first baby, was a week old and it was our first proper trip out away from the house as a family of three. Those of you who live in Cardiff may recognise...
Paid collaboration with Working Wales What do I want to be now my children are growing up? It’s something I’ve been asking myself a lot recently. When I was younger the only career I was interested in was being a journalist and I was privileged to spend a long time...
Those of you who have been reading Cardiff Mummy Says for a while will know how much I love soup. I eat it all year round, but it’s especially good at this time of year when it’s still so cold, wet and miserable. The soup is so warming and comforting...
