I’ve written about Techniquest before on Cardiff Mummy Says, but today I want to focus on their toddler days, because they’re such good fun and really worth a visit. The monthly toddler days usually take place on the first Friday of the month during term time, from 9.30am-4.30pm. As well...
The Jumperoo was the first thing to go. Via Gumtree. I don’t think I will ever forget its theme tune, or the excitement on all three of my children’s faces as they jumped around in it. But it’s been a while since any of them fitted in it and it’s...
After dropping Little Miss E to school and Little Man O to Cylch (Welsh playgroup) this morning, Toddler Boy and I found ourselves with just under an hour to spare before our online shopping delivery was due to arrive. We hadn’t really planned anything other than playing in the house...
This is a photo of a little boy who wanted to help load the washing machine with his daddy’s dirty shirts. It’s a quick and blurry snapshot I took to send to his daddy because I know how much he misses his children when he is at work. And even...
People keep telling me what a dull and miserable month January is. It’s cold, it’s raining, no one’s got any money after Christmas, and there’s nothing going on. Granted, there’s nowhere near as many exciting events at this time of year as in November and December – but there’s still...
Yesterday I shared five of my favourite soup recipes – and today I’m turning my attention to smoothies. All these recipes are perfect if you’re looking to eat healthier now the festive season is over. I’ve been a big fan of smoothies for a few years now. They’re a great...
Just about everyone I know seems to be on a healthy January mission at the moment, after the excesses of the festive season. Cardiff Mummy included! So it’s soup all round in our household in an effort to make up for one too many treats over the festive season. I...
I’ve been chatting to my children about new year’s resolutions today and talking about how lots of grown ups make changes at the start of a new year of things they would like to do differently or areas of their life they’d like to improve. I’m not sure if they’ve...
I know I’m Cardiff Mummy but I grew up in Barry and a big piece of my heart will always be there. So when my children said the thing they most wanted to do this week was to go on a train, it was a no brainer as to where...
We’ve had a brilliant Christmas, but with hosting family on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, it’s been pretty chaotic and tiring too. So these last two days, with my children off school and Cardiff Daddy off work, I’ve really appreciated a slower pace of life and some quality...
One of my favourite family Christmas traditions for the last three years has been our annual trip to Sherman Theatre to see their theatre show for under sevens. This year’s show is a musical adaptation of The Princess and the Pea by Welsh playwright Katherine Chandler (who also adapted last year’s...
