I wrote earlier in the month about how sparse my wardrobe was looking since having a clear out of all my old clothes ready for summer. I got rid of anything that was too big (bought when I was carrying baby weight), too small (pre-kids and unlikely to ever fit...
When Shake Shack Cardiff invited us along to review their family dining experience on Friday evening, we were only too happy to accept. It was mine and Cardiff Daddy’s ninth wedding anniversary that day and, with no available babysitters so we could enjoy a grown-up night out, we thought this...
My eldest two children have become a little obsessed with The Angry Birds recently. Despite having never played the game, or even knowing such a thing exists for that matter, they adore the brightly coloured characters. The birds seem to be in the shops on all manner of merchandise and...

I’m loving the weather now that the sun is shining and it’s finally warming up. However, it’s made me realise I have no clothes suitable for spring and summer. I know we women say we have nothing to wear all the time, but I promise I’m not exaggerating. I had a...
These last few days, I’ve been seeing stories shared around social media about how much damage parents are doing to their children because they are neglecting them in favour of their smart phones.

With breath-taking views, beautiful woodland, an adventure playground and a family sculpture trail, we had a fantastic time in the sunshine at Garwnant Visitor Centre this afternoon. It’s around 40 minutes from Cardiff along the A470, five miles north of Merthyr Tydfil and 14 miles south of Brecon, and marks...
