We're half way through May which means I've reached the half way point for Miles for Mind. I challenged myself to run 75 miles across May in order to raise awareness around mental health and well being. I'll be honest, it's been a bit more of a bumpy ride to get here than I'd anticipated.… Continue reading Miles for Mind Update

Are you ok?
Are you ok? Three simple words, but for some of us is difficult to answer. How many of us are truly honest with ourselves and friends and families when we're struggling? I know I'm not. This week is UK Maternal Mental Health Matters Awareness week (29 April 2019 - 5 May 2019 and today specifically… Continue reading Are you ok?
Heath Miniature Railway
If you're ever looking for things to do in and around Cardiff with young children I can highly recommend the Heath Minature Railway and Tramway. We've been regularly since the big one was small. It's a fab day out... The boys are train mad, especially the wee one, so it's always a brilliant day out.… Continue reading Heath Miniature Railway
To share or not to share?
Big came home from school at the end of last week with a form that we had to go through with him about online safety as they use the computers in school (how times have changed from when I was in school!). Anyhow, it got me thinking about how much I share of the boys… Continue reading To share or not to share?
Raising boys
I'm from a family of girls so when we found out our first baby was going to be a boy it was a bit of a surprise. I'm one of two girls, my Grandma had two girls, my Nanny had two daughters before she had my dad and my sister has two girls. Like I… Continue reading Raising boys
I'm not sure how it's happened but somehow the wee one is two! In some ways it feels like that two years has flown by but in other ways it feels like he's been here forever. I don't think I appreciated how different the boys would be, which was incredibly naive of me. I think… Continue reading
Why this mumma runs
I want to put this out there at the top of this post. I love the boys to bits and would do anything for them. This includes when the eldest reverses up to me to ask me to check his pants for skid marks...whilst I'm sat down for dinner. Or when he finishes a poo… Continue reading Why this mumma runs
This is me…
I've just realised this is my third blog and I've not actually introduced myself properly yet, how very rude of me! Sorry about that. Hi, I'm Sam. I'm English living in Wales, which is neither here nor there most of the time unless the Six Nations is on! I should probably add here that my… Continue reading This is me…
Happy Valentine’s Day
The plan for this site isn't really to share recipes but I couldn't resist sharing this with you. They are perfect to make with children as they are really simple. We made these, actually I should say that my husband made these, for our favours at our wedding nearly seven years ago. It seems crazy… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day
Techniquest
We made the most of our annual passes to Techniquest today. If you live in the South Wales/West area it's worth a visit. If you've not heard of it, or have but are wondering whether it's worth going, we'd definitely recommend it, particularly for a wet and rainy day. Techniquest is a hands on science… Continue reading Techniquest
