It’s October half term in Cardiff next week – not to mention Halloween on the Saturday. As always, there are so many brilliant events going on in and around Cardiff. I’ve tried to include as many family-friendly events as I can, but if you know if anything else, do let...
I’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the fashion posts I’ve recently been running on Cardiff Mummy Says. I had no idea so many mums felt like I did and have been touched by all your messages. I certainly don’t want to put any pressure on mums that they have...
Now that the weather’s getting colder, I’m finding myself craving warming, comforting dishes. But as I’m also eating healthy, the challenge is not to reach for the stodgy, fatty foods. This Moroccan vegetable tagine is a real favourite of mine. I love the deep blend of flavours and the way...
The lovely people at Oddgods were reading Cardiff Mummy Says on Saturday and took pity on all those Welsh mums struggling to watch the Wales versus Australia World Cup game at the weekend while looking after their little ones. So much so, in fact, that they’ve offered to babysit all...
With two and a half weeks to go until Halloween, my children were so excited about these costumes sent to us from the lovely people at Matalan. Little Man O, my four-year-old son, really got into the character of Frankenstein, £12, available in ages 4-11. He loved the mask and...

Where better to start our role as Cadw blogger ambassadors than Caerphilly Castle? It’s the biggest castle in Wales, the second biggest in the UK after Windsor, and is just a 10-minute drive over Caerphilly Mountain from our home in North Cardiff. The grey-stone structure, complete with turrets and a...
I’m so excited to announce that Cardiff Mummy Says is officially a Cadw blogger ambassador! Over the coming year, we’ll be visiting and writing about some of Wales’s most important monuments and castles, helping to promote our country’s heritage and letting you know about forthcoming family-friendly events and activities. Plus...
I’m sat at home writing this while Cardiff Daddy has taken all three of our children out for the morning. I’m in the middle of doing some other much more important work, but this is on my mind and if I don’t get it written down, it’ll keep bubbling away....
As regular readers of my blog will know, we eat a lot of soup in our house. I love it, and as a result, so do my three children. I came up with this recipe a couple of years ago when I was craving soup but didn’t have any fresh...
