Before kids, supermarket shopping used to be such a miserable chore. Oh, how I laugh at pre-kid me, moaning about doing the weekly grocery shop. If only she knew how easy it was back then compared to doing it with three kids in tow. I try to do online delivery...
You’ll already know if you read Cardiff Mummy Says regularly that I am the kind of mum who cries at anything. I was overly-emotional before I had children, but since my three little ones have come along, it has gone into overdrive. First words, first footsteps, first day at school,...
