Last 22nd January 2016 I was lucky to get tickets for Alexander Armstrong’s show at the London Palladium. It’s not that I love that theatre so much (and keep going back) for its historical importance (having hosted shows by Bob Hope, Peter Sellers and Judy Garland among the stars who performed there) but also because I love Jazz and the smooth voice of Alexander Armstrong, who is…
Netflix has just announced a new Kids’ Original animated series – BEAT BUGS. It looks super cute and is inspired by the music of The Beatles so is great for kids ans parents alike. I don’t about you yummy mummies out there, but I have already instilled a passion for the Beatles in my son. The Beatles should be introduced in music classes the same way classical music is. I really look…
Storage or no storage – that is the question… De-cluttering ideas are popping up in my head every Spring so I am taking a look at what other alternative options we, London Mums, have for storing our kids’ stuff.

Disney has officially…
How it Works: The Mum is the next title in the hugely popular Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups series; the hit of 2015 which sold in excess of one million copies over Christmas.

This is the tone of the whole book and makes you think of all the work…
Mothering Sunday (Mother’s Day) this year comes early on 6th March. So I find myself reflecting on the significance of motherhood in my life and in my fellow mums’ lives too.
Mum, mamma, Mutter etc. In whatever language this small word carries a big meaning for all of us. That meaning partly depends on how we feel about our own mothers and grandmothers and also what our communities…
2016 marks the 100th anniversary of Dahl’s birth and to celebrate one of the most creative authors of all times, there will be a movie release in the Summer. From the minds of two of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl and Steven Spielberg – THE BFG will see a UK release on 22 July 2016.

Here is my brain dump for the week reflecting on the reasons behind people’s collections and why I think I am a tiny bit OCD – by this meaning a bit obsessed with one collection in particular. And of course I tell the story of my vintage Barbie collection.
These are just a few of my dolls from my Barbie collection. They are like children… you don’t really have a favourite.
