My favourite days with my children are the ones when they come home from a day outdoors with clothes and skin so grubby, everyone and everything needs a wash straight away. We had one such day last weekend with an afternoon exploring Coed y Wenallt, the beautiful ancient woodland at...
The weekend sun couldn’t have appeared at a better time for us, with a two-night camping trip in the Gower. We were there because a friend had invited us along for her 40th birthday celebrations – a total of 14 families, including 35 children ranging in age from one to...
You can probably tell by looking at the photos that this visit happened a good few weeks ago. The sun has been a rare sight since the few beautiful days we had over the Easter weekend. But don’t let the lack of summer sunshine put you off visiting Marcross Beach...
Disclaimer: We paid for our trip to Beeches Farm Campsite Chepstow ourselves and they did not know we would be writing this review We bought a family tent recently – an amazing second-hand Gumtree bargain of a huge eight-person air tent, with loads of camping gear included, all barely used....
Bute Park is one of my favourite outdoor spaces in Cardiff – a 130 acre beauty spot right in the centre of our city. It’s perfect if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of a shopping trip to the city centre, or is more than worth visiting...

With the heatwave continuing, I took my youngest child to Victoria Park splashpad in Cardiff to cool off. We’d arranged to meet a few friends – three other mums of three with just our youngests not at school and all determined to make the most of these last few weeks...
I’ve got into a bit of a weekly routine with my littlest of heading to Roath Recreational Ground playground, Penylan Library, and then on to gymnastics at Somersault. Gymnastics starts at 10.45am and as we are already out and about in the car after dropping his big sister and brother...
Thanks to Cuckoo Down Farm for inviting us to stay in exchange for this review It’s almost 9pm on a Saturday night and my children have been running around in the evening sunshine for hours. Their hands and faces are sticky with a combination of dirt, sun cream and the...
