Our elves have just landed on the kitchen table, ready for the countdown to Christmas! I can’t wait to see my children’s faces in the morning! Each elf on the shelf has written a letter of introduction and brought lots of goodies with them – wooden advent calendars, Christmas pyjamas, Christmas jumpers,...
I genuinely had a tear in my eye when I saw these photos of a decaying Barry Island fairground being demolished. I might live in Cardiff now, but I was born and bred in Barry and as pretty much all my family are still there, we’re back and forth a...
Baby I is coming up to nine months old now. He is amazing, even if I do say so myself, but his life has been so different to that of his big sister and brother. Little E went to baby music classes, baby massage and baby yoga; Little O went...
Thanks to everyone who read and shared my recent post on festive family things to do in Cardiff. It’s great to see so many people getting excited about the festive season. I’ve had a few people ask me the best places to see Father Christmas in and around Cardiff. The...
This week my children asked if we could have the Christmas music on in the car. It’s still November but straight away I said yes. The me of five years ago would have been completely horrified by this. “It’s only November!” she would have shrieked. “There’s still a month and...

Is anyone else feeling festive yet? I’ve been trying to decide which Christmas events in Cardiff to go to with my family this year. I started making a list, and the list turned into this blog post… so I thought seeing as it is the season of good will, I...
If you’re on a diet or healthy eating, then look away now! There is nothing redeeming about these chocolate and peanut butter squares. But they are incredible, even if I do say so myself. In fact, I don’t need to say that myself because everyone I have made them for adores them,...
I love doing arts and crafts with my children. Whether it’s painting or Play-Doh, I enjoy any excuse to get creative. The funny thing is, I’m really not an arty person at all. I was rubbish at art at school and I genuinely can’t even draw a stick man without...
