There’s so much going on for families in and around Cardiff this month. CBeebies star Justin Fletcher brings Justin’s Party to Wales Millennium Centre; the lambing season and #lambcam starts again at St Fagans National History Museum; and the fifth Cardiff Children’s Literature Festival takes place in venues across Cardiff....
I’m not embarrassed to admit that I love a good cheesy romantic musical film. Right at the top of my list is The Wedding Singer which, along with Dirty Dancing, Grease, and Rock of Ages, is a film I never get bored of watching. Released in 1998, the film was...
I’m absolutely loving Niomi Smart’s Eat Smart: What to Eat in a Day – Every Day. The cook book is full of delicious plant-based, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free recipes. The kind of food that if you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know I love. It’s a real mix...
In association with Love Food Hate Waste Five slices of bread gone mouldy. One green pepper all wrinkly and soft. Three eggs past their use by date. A slice of ham lost at the back of the fridge. Half a bag of thyme leaves, left over from a recipe and forgotten about....

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! We’d arranged to visit St Fagans National History Museum today to check out their children’s explorer activity packs and their half term activities as part of our role...
