Ooh, I do love a good list, and I also love being happy, so when the lovely Kate who blogs at Yellowbellymummy challenged me to take part in 50 things that make me happy, a little blog-hop game currently doing the rounds in the parent-blogging world, I couldn’t wait to...
I’m a 36-year-old woman and last week I had head lice. There. I said it. My secret is out. I have debated for a week whether to write this post or not, but I figure we’re all friends, right? And you won’t judge me, right? I really hope not, because...
Beans and pulses are a big part of my diet, as I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 12 years old. They’re packed full of protein, iron, fibre, vitamins and minerals, are low fat, and count towards your recommended daily five-a-day. One of my favourite ways to serve them is...
I know I’m Cardiff Mummy Says, but a big piece of my heart will always be an hour down the M4 in Swansea. That’s where I went to university between 1996 and 2000. It’s where I met the man who is now my husband. It’s where I met some of...
I’ve been a self-employed freelance journalist for seven and a half years now. About 90% of the work I do is from home, with occasional shifts in the offices of my clients. Since having my children, I work part time, with very limited childcare. I do most of my work...

Wow! What an action-packed, slickly choreographed, visually impressive two hours of a show we saw today in the shape of CBeebies Live – Justin and Friends: Mr Tumble’s Circus. I must admit to being a bit apprehensive about taking my children to see this show at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena. All...
*Thanks to Theatr Iolo for inviting us to see the show in exchange for this review. You know that old saying about how young children much prefer playing with the boxes their Christmas and birthday presents come in, rather than the toys themselves? The reason people say it so much...
I love all those nostalgia articles that are constantly being shared over Facebook – you know you’re a child of the 1970s/1980s when…. You know you grew up in Cardiff/or wherever it is you live when…. It got me thinking about the kinds of throwback articles my own children will...
Just looking at the photo of these awesome potato wedges makes me hungry! They are so tasty and are always completely devoured by all our friends and family whenever Cardiff Daddy makes them. They are perfect for parties and barbecues as you can cook them beforehand and then quickly warm...
