My children love Cardiff Bay Barrage. They can’t get enough of it. We’ve been there three times already during the Easter holidays. I’ve written about the Barrage before on Cardiff Mummy Says, so I won’t repeat myself too much. The walkway between Cardiff Bay and Penarth is a great place...
Continuing the What’s it really like…? series on Cardiff Mummy Says, this week eight mums share their experiences of having ‘two under two’ – two children born within two years of each other. The good, the bad and everything in between. My own experience of having 21 months between my...
We spent Easter Monday at Raglan Farm Park with Cardiff Daddy’s family – eight adults and six children aged between 3 and 7. It was the first time we had visited and although we weren’t at Raglan Farm Park in any official reviewing capacity, I wanted to write about it anyway because it’s...
Nutty Noah might be a children’s entertainer – but I found myself crying with laughter at his show this afternoon. We saw him at the Village Hotel Cardiff as part of their Easter Sunday family show which combined a three-course meal with magic, music and mayhem....
*in association with Visit the Vale and Vale Tales GPS Storytelling App I know I’ve said it before on Cardiff Mummy Says, but sometimes (in fact, quite often) I’m completely blown away by the sheer beauty around us here in Wales. Beaches, hills, farmland, parks, castles – we have it...

You’ve Got Dragons is a thought-provoking children’s theatre show from Cardiff-based Taking Flight theatre company, currently touring Wales. Based on the book by Kathryn Cave, it uses dragons, played by two cast members, as a metaphor for anxieties and worries experienced by children. The play shows that it’s normal...
*in association with The Red Dragon Centre, Cardiff Bay I’m writing this review with a belly stuffed full of fries and shake after a lovely lunch at Five Guys at The Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay. Seriously, it’s been three hours since we ate and the top button of...
It never ceases to amaze me that we have a castle right in the middle of our city centre here in Cardiff. A beautiful part-Gothic Victorian, part Norman castle amid all the shops and office buildings. It also never ceases to amaze me that if you live or work in...
Not sure what you’re doing yet this weekend but fancy doing something Easter-themed? I’ve already published my bumper guide to more than 100 family-friendly activities in and around Cardiff this April, and a guide to events in Cardiff city centre during the school holidays. This guide collates 25 Easter-themed events,...
*In association with Poundland My children love getting creative but I’m never going to be one of those amazing Pinterest mums coming up with jaw-dropping arts and crafts projects. In fact, making stuff with three children aged 7, 5 and 3, can be chaotic, stressful and messy, so I need...
