I love my kids to bits, I truly do. They are the most wondrous little beings who fill me with more love than I ever thought was possible. But sometimes I just need time out from being a mum. I’ve been feeling it a lot the last couple of weeks....
Toddler is a bit obsessed with chicks, piglets and lambs at the moment. He has no idea just how adorable he is saying “aww, cute baby, cute baby” as he looks at them, and so last week, with his big brother and sister now back at school after the Easter...
We’ve only just had Easter and here we are with another long weekend! There’s plenty going on to keep you and the little ones entertained. Here are 22 events taking place in and around Cardiff. As always, all events are subject to cancellation or change so do check ahead with the organisers...
This is the most heartbreaking post I have ever published on Cardiff Mummy Says, and I feel truly humbled to be entrusted to share these beautiful words with you. Cardiff mum Naomi Stocks got in touch to ask if she could share her experience of life as a family where...
Northern Ballet’s Casanova has received rave reviews following its premiere in Leeds last month. It’s now showing at Cardiff’s New Theatre as part of its UK tour – and you could be there for free with this fantastic giveaway to win a pair of tickets for the 7.30pm performance this...

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...
