Film Review: The Conjuring – Last Rites – A Thrilling Supernatural Horror by Michael Chaves
Sep 04 2025
London Mums Magazine was invited to review the latest supernatural horror film The Conjuring directed by Michael Chaves, to be released on 5th September, 2025.
I’ll admit from the start – I’m not usually a fan of modern horror movies. Too often they rely on gore and shock factor, which isn’t really my cup of tea.

When I heard this new release had a Child’s Play vibe and was inspired by a true story, my curiosity was definitely piqued.

Books we love: Suburban Secrets and Surprising Transformations – Victoria Webster’s Two-Part Series
Sep 02 2025
Behind the neat hedges and freshly painted doors of suburbia, life isn’t always as polished as it seems. That’s the world Victoria Webster opens up in her compelling two-part series, The Con Artist and Abigail’s World -two novels that blend humour, drama, and suspense in equal measure.
Webster, who writes under a pen name, didn’t set out to become a novelist early in life. But after years of rich experiences – marriage, divorce, and even dipping a toe into the unpredictable world of online dating – she found herself with stories too good not to tell. Rather than penning a straightforward memoir, she chose to weave fact and fiction into page-turning narratives that shine a sharp light on modern relationships and the secrets we all keep.

The Dangers of Vaping and a Comparison to Smoking
Aug 29 2025
Many people view vaping as a “safer” or “healthier” alternative to traditional cigarettes. This perspective, however, is not supported by scientific evidence. While the health risks of smoking are well-documented and devastating, vaping is not a harmless substitute. It introduces a new set of dangers, and its long-term health consequences are still being uncovered. This is a critical public health issue that requires a clear understanding of the facts.
