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...

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...
