Parc Play has long been one of my favourite play centres to take my children. It’s nothing like your typical play venue. There’s no ball pits or multi-coloured bright plastic climbing structures. Instead, it’s a part outdoor, part covered-indoor-but-with-an-outdoor-feel venue which encourages fresh air play all year round. For older...
The Royal Institution brings its live science show How To Hack Your Home to Cardiff this month – and you could be there with this prize giveaway! Making engineering fun for families, the hour-long show takes place at 6.30pm on Monday 13th March in the Reardon Smith Theatre at the...
Wales Millennium Centre is once again turning its foyer into a giant work of art – with the theme for this half term being Create A Paper Garden. The Cardiff Bay arts venue regularly runs free family craft activities during school holidays, with visitors asked to add to the giant...
Half term didn’t quite start as we’d planned, with two of my three children coming down with sickness bugs this morning. Such rubbish timing!

#FullOnFestiveFun is The Red Dragon Centre’s hashtag for the Christmas season – and that’s certainly what we had yesterday evening at a Hollywood Bowl children’s Christmas party, followed by ice creams at Cadalwaders. We’d been invited along as part of our role as blogger ambassadors for The Red Dragon Centre,...
A trip to Cardiff’s Winter Wonderland has become one of our pre-Christmas traditions since having children. In fact, my children think the famous song is written about this place. We usually try to fit in at least one visit in the run-up to Christmas, so our children can go on...
I’m excited to let you all know that Cardiff Mummy Says is now an official blogger ambassador for St Fagans National History Museum and National Museum Cardiff.
