The irony of me – the least sportiest girl in the class who hated PE with a passion – turning up at BBC Radio Wales at 7.45am this morning, in full workout gear having already done an hour’s session at the gym, to discuss draft proposals that some believe could...
If you’ve been reading Cardiff Mummy Says for a while you’ll know we’re a family of book lovers. Reading stories to my children has always been one of my favourite things to do and it’s been a big part of our bedtime routine ever since my eldest was a few...
What would you do with a few child-free hours? A lie-in? Binge-watch Netflix? Go for brunch? A spa? Tidy the house? Collapse into a heap on the sofa and not move for the day? With the kids staying with their grandparents overnight (thank you!), Cardiff Daddy and I found ourselves...
I’m so excited to bring you this interview with Imran Nathoo. I’ve been following him on social media for some time now, since he rose to fame on BBC television series MasterChef, where he reached the quarter-finals in 2017 and finished in the top 10. We’ve chatted over social media...

At the start of the year, I wrote about my running goals for 2019 – and now, four and a half months into the year, I thought it was about time for an update on how I’m getting on. If you’ve read Cardiff Mummy for a while you’ll know that...
Thanks to Wales Millennium Centre for providing us with tickets for the purpose of this review. Two years ago, pretty much to the week, I took my eldest two children who were then aged 7 and 5 to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Wales Millennium Centre (you...
